(A separate group at the University of Texas published figures extrapolated from GRACE data showing that Greenland lost as much as 57 cubic miles of ice each year between 2002 and 2005; NASA shortly plans to publish data reconciling the two studies.)

Velicogna and her colleagues also measured a dramatic loss of Greenland ice, as much as 38 cubic miles per year between 2002 and 2005 — even more troubling, given that an influx of fresh melt water into the salty North Atlantic could in theory shut off the system of ocean currents that keep Europe relatively warm.

In the San Francisco Bay area, sea level rise alone could inundate an area of between 50 and 410 square kilometres by 2100, depending both on how much action is taken to limit further global warming and how fast the polar ice sheets melt.

Previous studies have attributed those undersea channels — which measure between 1 and 2 km wide and extend up into the ice shelf as much as 400 meters — solely to the melting action of seawater.

Making the generous assumption that humans can survive multiple ice ages and deflect an inevitable asteroid or comet strike (NASA predicts that between now and then, no fewer than 10 the size of the rock that wiped out the dinosaurs will hit), the researchers forecast we will then encounter a much bigger problem: an aging sun.

On its own, sea level rise could inundate between 50 and 410 square kilometres of this area by 2100, depending on how much is done to limit further global warming and how fast the polar ice sheets melt.

Between 17,000 and 27,000 years ago, much of the planet's water was frozen at the ice caps, and the continents were extremely arid.

The problem arises because most of this sea ice will melt in future global warming scenarios and the warming signal will be taken as the difference between the control [which perhaps has too much sea - ice] and the sea - ice free future.

About 38 % of its mass5 is frozen water — but this ice is extremely fluffy, with much empty space between ice particles.

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.

I really didn't realize how much sugar I had been consuming, between all the fruit, granola, and smoothies and snacks, not to mention outright sweets like ice cream (non-dairy of course) and gluten - free cookies.

NYC has been averaging about 95 - 100 degrees for our stay, so you can say it's been a sweaty few days we've been drinking a lot of iced coff, eating a lot of ice pops and trying to find AC as much as we can... with some thrifting in between!

Few innovations have improved upon ice cream as much putting it between two cookies and making a sandwich.

Little things like a lack of transitions between loading screens, Sonic's Air Dash launching immediately instead of taking a moment to charge, and the returning Enerbeam mechanic trimmed down to swinging around all make Fire & Ice that much more fun to play.

She split the K Foundation money between Shelter, the arts trust at HM Prison Albany and grants for young artists - but neither award cut much ice with Tower Hamlets Council.

Secondly, it was becoming clear that ice ages followed a regular pattern and that interglacials (such as we are now in) were much shorter that the full glacial periods in between.

The lag between decreases in sea ice extent during late summer and changes in the mid-latitude atmospheric circulation during other seasons (when the recent loss of sea ice is much smaller) needs to be reconciled with theory.

As if a rise of 11 F (which, as I understand it from Hansen is likely at least as much as occurred between the last ice age and now) is something to be considered rather trivial!]

This is because the «early camp» are missing a major factor, even though most of them don't know it: That factor is that first year sea ice will continue to grow to thicknesses of around 1.5 to 2m through the winter, so the key issue in whether September can be virtually sea - ice free is how much sea ice can be lost between March and September.

Simple statistical analysis shows that the relationship between sea ice variability and the winter climate is not clear and is much weaker than between snow cover and winter climate.

I am much less sure that the divergence between the PIOMAS ice volume and the CCSM4 ensemble mean (after shift) has anything to say about the whether CCSM4 is deficient or not.

The lag between decreases in sea ice extent during late summer and changes in the mid-latitude atmospheric circulation during other seasons (like autumn and winter, when the recent loss of sea ice is much smaller) have been demonstrated empirically, but have not been captured by existing dynamical models.

We know there have been previous ice ages and subsequent warming cycles; we know when they were, and how much time elapsed between them.

Volume, in contrast, is crucial in determining the vulnerability of Arctic sea ice to rapid future reductions (since thin ice is much more prone to react strongly to a single warm summer, making single very - low sea - ice summers more likely), and the thickness of the ice determines the exchange of heat between ocean and atmosphere.

In Annan et al, much of their analysis was dealing with fast feedbacks, but some mention of comparisons between the most recent ice age and today were mentioned which would suggest that long - term feedbacks were being included.

How can anybody have much confidence in the so called «published projections» for the ice free state between 2037 and 2100, given that these projections have been wrong every single time they have been made over the last decade or more; they missed the collapse in area in 2007 and they also missed the exponentially declining behavior over the last several decades.

Strong winds are much more effective at transferring heat and moisture between the atmosphere and the ice / ocean surface.

I use the «whiteness» of the Arctic in June as a predictor for how much ice will melt out between June and September.

The planet has warmed up since the Little Ice Age and it has warmed up relatively quickly between 1975 and 1998, so much so that we humans are becoming consumed with guilt and anxiety about our place on Earth.

Research indicates that the Arctic had substantially less sea ice during this period compared to present Current desert regions of Central Asia were extensively forested due to higher rainfall, and the warm temperate forest belts in China and Japan were extended northwards West African sediments additionally record the «African Humid Period», an interval between 16,000 and 6,000 years ago when Africa was much wetter due to a strengthening of the African monsoon While there do not appear to have been significant temperature changes at most low latitude sites, other climate changes have been reported.

Scientist, it isn't * well established * that feedback produced the shifts between ice ages and interglacial periods — indeed, it is a topic of much contention and debate.

On the other hand, the correlation between accumulated emissions and accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere is much better: it is a near fit over the last 100 + years (60 years of ice core data, near 50 years of MLO data).

It would require a much stronger relationship of temperature driving CO2 than occurred during the ice age — interglacial oscillations (and it is also important to remember that those changes occurred over much longer timescales too... which is the presumed reason why there is a several hundred year lag time between temperatures starting to rise or fall and CO2 starting to rise or fall).

Far more interesting is the question: «why did Antarctic winter ice extent decrease so much between 1940 and 1980?»

That may not sound like much, but the temperature difference between today's world and the last ice age was about 5C, so seemingly small changes in temperature can mean big differences for the Earth.

With the large and growing discrepancy between the instrumental record that hides the decline and the proxy evidence from tree - rings and ice cores that doesn't, one wonders how much longer the illusion of a linearly warming Earth may continue to be promulgated.

He says that if the baseline is 1973, when the polar - orbiting satellites began recording the data, there is not much difference between today's ice extent and then.

Whether a glacier retreats or advances each year largely depends on its mass balance — the difference between how much snow it receives and the amount of its ice that melts away.

Because the incoming and the outgoing flows, warm and cold respectively, lie side ‐ by ‐ side between Greenland and Scandinavia, an asymmetry is induced in the distribution of ice - cover on the Arctic Ocean; this is generally dense to the west of Fram Strait while, to the east of Spitzbergen, much of the Barents Sea — at similar latitudes — remains ice ‐ free even in winter due the eastward flow of warm Atlantic water.

Between the Permian and the Late Miocene, there were no ice ages and global temperatures were much higher.
