So it is apparently of no relevance that
the maximum ice level tops out at a much lower point than it did in the past?
Not exact matches
The last glacial
maximum was about 18,000 years ago, when the Patagonian
ice sheet expands to include about 10 meters [33 feet] of global sea
level.
Those high temperatures have kept Arctic sea
ice to record low
levels; the Arctic looks to see a record low winter
maximum sea
ice area for the third year in a row.
Global sea -
level contribution from the Patagonian Icefields since the Little
Ice Age
maximum.
Joughin et al. (2010) applied a numerical
ice sheet model to predicting the future of PIG, their model suggested ongoing loss of
ice mass from PIG, with a
maximum rate of global sea
level rise of 2.7 cm per century.
Capping off a season of sustained, mind - boggling warm weather and stunted sea
ice growth, the annual Arctic sea
ice maximum hit its lowest
level ever recorded.
Evidence for the
maximum lowering of sea
level during successive
ice ages over the past several millions of years is sparse.

In contrast, the much more expansive
ice volume
maxima (equivalently, sea
level minima) during a glacial
maximum is more defined.
Sea
level dropped during the last glacial
maximum, but there was no
ice sheet in Siberia, so the surface was exposed to the really cold atmosphere, and the ground froze to a depth of ~ 1.5 km.
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.
(If all LL GHGs disappeared, global temperatures would plunge initially at 4 °C / year, thus dropping to
maximum -
ice - age
levels in ~ 18 months.)
We've had both situations in the past — «Amsterdam» under
ice about 20,000 years ago at the last glacial
maximum, and «Amsterdam» under water in the Pliocene, 3 million years ago, when CO2 and sea
level were higher than today.
It also reproduces the Eemian - last glacial transition where CO2
levels remained high, while temperatures were near minimum (and
ice sheet formation was near
maximum).
iheartheidicullen @ 162: Sorry if my tone was intemperate, but really the SH and NH sea
ice trends have been analysed at length online by Tamino and others, over the last year or two, with the clear conclusion that the SH anomaly trend is small (the anomaly at the
maximum last year was about 1.5 % of the mean annual
maximum, if I remember correctly) and not statistically significant (at the 95 %
level, I think), whereas the NH trend is large (tens of percent), long - lived, and statistically very significant indeed.
But once the ongoing effect of warming shocks to the glacier front were modeled for the next 90 years, a
maximum realistic sea -
level rise from Greenland's
ice - loss was 2 inches.
The
maximum CO2 concentration
levels from any
ice core record is 298.7 ppm.

Second, he demonstrated that prevailing estimates of the 20th century GMSL rise (~ 1.5 to 2.0 mm / year), after correction for the
maximum signal from ocean thermal expansion, implied mass flux from
ice sheets and glaciers at a
level that would grossly misfit the residual GIA - corrected observations of Earth's rotation.
There is very high confidence that
maximum global mean sea
level during the last interglacial period (~ 129 to 116 ka) was, for several thousand years, at least 5 m higher than present and high confidence that it did not exceed 10 m above present, implying substantial contributions from the Greenland and Antarctic
ice sheets.
The iceberg delivery of sediment containing nanoparticulate Fe during the Last Glacial
Maximum (18000 — 21000 years ago) may have been sufficient to fertilize the increase in productivity required to drawdown CO2 to the
levels observed in
ice cores [9].
The truth is that in the arctic we're seeing record low
levels of sea
ice year after year, including just this year, when in March the North Pole saw the lowest
maximum ice extent on record.
23 March 2018... KTUU Anchorage, Alaska (Quoted): Arctic sea
ice hits annual
maximum at near record low
levels
Global sea
levels have been rising since the glacial
maximum of the last
ice age some 18,000 years ago, but observations indicate that the rate of sea
level rise is not accelerating and may even be decelerating.
As Arctic sea
ice approaches its annual
maximum level for the year, now is a good time to look at how it stands — especially in what some are claiming to be the hottest year on record.
At the other side, the end of the Eemian is interesting that it shows a cooling to a new minimum (and
ice sheets to a new
maximum — both at about 75 % of the previous opposite directions) while CO2
levels remained high.
Ice levels since that time have shown a decrease in
maximums of around 2.6 percent per decade.
Arctic sea
ice reached its
maximum annual extent on March 21, and the amount measured was the fifth - lowest
level ever recorded.
Our estimated sea
levels have reached +5 to 10 m above the present sea
level during recent interglacial periods that were barely warmer than the Holocene, whereas the
ice sheet model yields
maxima at most approximately 1 m above the current sea
level.
Lambeck, K., Rouby, H., Purcell, A., Sun, Y. & Sambridge, M. Sea
level and global
ice volumes from the Last Glacial
Maximum to the Holocene.
Independent analyses designed to separate
ice volume and temperature change, such as Dwyer & Chandler [64], find sea -
level maxima and variability comparable to our estimates.
Dwyer & Chandler [64] separate Pliocene
ice volume and temperature in deep ocean δ18O via ostracode Mg / Ca temperatures, finding sea -
level maxima and oscillations comparable to our results.
CO2 minima were reached approximately when the sea
level was at a minimum, hence, the extent of the continental
ice sheets were at a
maximum, and the highest CO2
levels were found during interglacials during the high stands of the sea
level.
This is likely due to the
maximum orbitally forced summer insolation, enhancing the melting of
ice sheets and thus a sea -
level rise.
Temperature and CH4
levels were already at a minimum and
ice sheet building already at a new
maximum before CO2
levels started to drop.
The past six years have produced the six lowest
maximums in that record, and the new data show that the percentage of older, thicker and more persistent
ice shrank to its lowest
level ever, at just 9.8 percent of the winter
ice cover.
Fleming, K. & Lambeck, K. Constraints on the Greenland
Ice Sheet since the Last Glacial
Maximum from sea -
level observations and glacial - rebound models.
While the IPCC projected a
maximum 23 - inch sea -
level rise before 2100 as a result of rising temperatures, Gore's statement predicted a 20 - foot rise in sea
levels if the Greenland or West Antarctic
ice sheets were to melt or collapse at an indefinite point in the future.
This could explain why this year the growth of the Antarctic sea
ice cover, which currently is headed toward its yearly
maximum extent and was at much higher than normal
levels throughout much of the first half of 2015, dipped below normal
levels in mid-August.
But thanks to human - caused global warming, that
maximum seasonal spread of the
ice has been shrinking over the years — and this past March it reached the lowest
level ever observed for the month.
