From the American Geophysical Union: WASHINGTON, DC — Humans may have been altering Arctic sea ice longer than previously thought, according to researchers studying the effects of air pollution on sea ice growth in the mid-20th Century.

-- http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2015GL064541/abstract High - resolution measurements of ocean temperature and salinity in the Arctic Ocean's Canada Basin reveal the importance of the release of solar - derived stored ocean heat on sea - ice growth.

That growth of sea ice could have potentially been caused by the influx of freshwater as glaciers on land melted, or from changes in the winds that whip around the continent (changes that could be linked to warming or the loss of ozone high in the atmosphere).

explore changes in ocean circulation caused by the growth of extensive fast ice and its impact on life in Commonwealth Bay

Some single - column model studies reveal bifurcation in the transition to seasonally ice - free conditions (Abbot et al., 2011; Merryfield et al., 2008; Flato and Brown, 1996) but others do not, due to the stabilizing effects of ice thickness on ice growth (Eisenman and Wettlaufer, 2009).

Superimposed on the long - term trends, in addition to occasional hyperthermals, are continual high - frequency temperature oscillations, which are apparent in figure 1 after 34 Myr BP, when the Earth became cold enough for a large ice sheet to form on Antarctica, and are still more prominent during ice sheet growth in the Northern Hemisphere.

So, this past winter as the extreme and extended cold spell continued in Michigan and the mid-continent, I was noting the Great Lakes ice growth in detail on both NOAA and the Canadian Ice Services websitice growth in detail on both NOAA and the Canadian Ice Services websitIce Services websites.

The problem is that whatever temperature signal they carry is of questionable resolution, and is commingled with whatever myriad of other factors that influence coral growth rates, or the relative populations of differing microfauna, or Isotope ratios in dissolved gases trapped in ice, or the growth rate of trees... None of these issues would lead any rational person to view the application of these proxies in determining climatological fluctuations on the order of fractions of a degree celsius annually.

Economic damage from climate - related events − ice storms, drought, flood, windstorms and heatwaves — has been on the increase for decades, but one explanation for this is population growth and economic development, even in the poorest regions.

97 % of people on the planet have been brainwashed to believe they need to go back to burning dung to power their laptop so that we can slow down the growth rate of plants and speed up the transition to a normal period of climate described as an ice age.

«Consequently, we should expect not the catastrophic melting of ice, but, on the contrary, the gradual growth of ice caps at the poles.

However I also understand that ice loss is exponential in its growth and that the loss of albedo of the arctic ice cap has the same effect as doubling co2 emissions and on that basis I reckon we ain't in Kansas anymore.

The models heavily relied upon by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had not projected this multidecadal stasis in «global warming»; nor (until trained ex post facto) the fall in TS from 1940 - 1975; nor 50 years» cooling in Antarctica (Doran et al., 2002) and the Arctic (Soon, 2005); nor the absence of ocean warming since 2003 (Lyman et al., 2006; Gouretski & Koltermann, 2007); nor the onset, duration, or intensity of the Madden - Julian intraseasonal oscillation, the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation in the tropical stratosphere, El Nino / La Nina oscillations, the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, or the Pacific Decadal Oscillation that has recently transited from its warming to its cooling phase (oceanic oscillations which, on their own, may account for all of the observed warmings and coolings over the past half - century: Tsoniset al., 2007); nor the magnitude nor duration of multi-century events such as the Mediaeval Warm Period or the Little Ice Age; nor the cessation since 2000 of the previously - observed growth in atmospheric methane concentration (IPCC, 2007); nor the active 2004 hurricane season; nor the inactive subsequent seasons; nor the UK flooding of 2007 (the Met Office had forecast a summer of prolonged droughts only six weeks previously); nor the solar Grand Maximum of the past 70 years, during which the Sun was more active, for longer, than at almost any similar period in the past 11,400 years (Hathaway, 2004; Solankiet al., 2005); nor the consequent surface «global warming» on Mars, Jupiter, Neptune's largest moon, and even distant Pluto; nor the eerily - continuing 2006 solar minimum; nor the consequent, precipitate decline of ~ 0.8 °C in TS from January 2007 to May 2008 that has canceled out almost all of the observed warming of the 20th century.
