-LSB-...] In fact, the global sea -
ice record shows virtually no change throughout the past 30 years, because the quite rapid loss of Arctic sea ice since the satellites were watching has been matched by a near - equally rapid gain of Antarctic sea ice.

In a presentation Thursday at the Seismology Society of America's annual meeting in Anchorage, West

ice cream, bacon and eggs, and alcohol.»
The recent string of
record - low winter maximums could be a sign that the large summer losses are starting to
show up more in other seasons, with an increasingly delayed fall freeze - up that leaves less time for sea
ice to accumulate in winter, Julienne Stroeve, an NSIDC scientist and University College London professor, previously said.
Complementary analyses of the surface mass balance of Greenland (Tedesco et al, 2011) also
show that 2010 was a
record year for melt area extent... Extrapolating these melt rates forward to 2050, «the cumulative loss could raise sea level by 15 cm by 2050 ″ for a total of 32 cm (adding in 8 cm from glacial
ice caps and 9 cm from thermal expansion)- a number very close to the best estimate of Vermeer & Rahmstorf (2009), derived by linking the observed rate of sea level rise to the observed warming.
Climate

ice shelves off the peninsula have been absent in several earlier eras, when natural variability warmed the world.
«Our work
shows that the data collected is very well - suited for
ice sheet science, and we can combine it with other satellite and airborne data sets to establish a more detailed
record of these glaciers.»
Paleoclimate: I don't know for sure, but this
record is too long (1 million years) to be an
ice core, so I'm guessing it's a stacked sediment core,
showing delta - O18 from ocean foraminifera.
Arctic sea
ice through Feb. 3, 2016
shows the
record low sea
ice extent in January.
The extent of global sea

show.
Ice core
records show that atmospheric CO2 varied in the range of 180 to 300 ppm over the glacial - interglacial cycles of the last 650 kyr (Figure 6.3; Petit et al., 1999; Siegenthaler et al., 2005a).
Here we
show that the East Greenland
Ice Sheet existed over the past 7.5 million years, as indicated by beryllium and aluminum isotopes (10Be and 26Al) in quartz sand removed by deep, ongoing glacial erosion on land and deposited offshore in the marine sedimentary
record.
Had he done so, he would have drawn a line that went up only 1/3 of the distance implied by the simple correlation with CO2
shown by the
ice core
record.
Reconstructions of past Hothouse climates had
shown that temperatures had been around six degrees higher on average, and higher still in polar regions, with no polar
ice - caps and a temperate to subtropical fauna and flora, as evidenced by the fossil
record in these areas.
More recent studies, with much more precise correlation between
ice cores and global temperature
records, have
shown that temperature and CO2 changed synchronously in Antarctica during the end of the last
ice age, and globally CO2 rose slightly before global temperatures.
At least 60 occurred within the Holocene that are correlative over four Antarctic
ice records with an example

Note that Figure 1

He makes the following statement, which is misleading if not outright wrong: Paleo
records shows that both temperature and sea level have been mostly rising since last glacial maximum and more recently, since the so called little
ice age.
Mike's work, like that of previous award winners, is diverse, and includes pioneering and highly cited work in time series analysis (an elegant use of Thomson's multitaper spectral analysis approach to detect spatiotemporal oscillations in the climate
record and methods for smoothing temporal data), decadal climate variability (the term «Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation» or «AMO» was coined by Mike in an interview with Science's Richard Kerr about a paper he had published with Tom Delworth of GFDL
showing evidence in both climate model simulations and observational data for a 50 - 70 year oscillation in the climate system; significantly Mike also published work with Kerry Emanuel in 2006
showing that the AMO concept has been overstated as regards its role in 20th century tropical Atlantic SST changes, a finding recently reaffirmed by a study published in Nature), in
showing how changes in radiative forcing from volcanoes can affect ENSO, in examining the role of solar variations in explaining the pattern of the Medieval Climate Anomaly and Little
Ice Age, the relationship between the climate changes of past centuries and phenomena such as Atlantic tropical cyclones and global sea level, and even a bit of work in atmospheric chemistry (an analysis of beryllium - 7 measurements).
In my briefings to the Association of Small Island States in Bali, the 41 Island Nations of the Caribbean, Pacific, and Indian Ocean (and later circulated to all member states), I pointed out that IPCC had seriously and systematically UNDERESTIMATED the extent of climate change,
showing that the sensitivity of temperature and sea level to CO2 clearly
shown by the past climate
record in coral reefs,
ice cores, and deep sea sediments is orders of magnitude higher than IPCC's models.
The first web page also has a link to global sea

shows that it is at a

Ice Age, and similarly for a period of 50 yr or longer for warming, wetness or dryness during the Medieval Warm Period??
Results
showed the storm caused the sea

Now the locations of avaialble proxy data (tree rings,

shown on most reconstructions.
