Colaprete et al in Nature 2005 (subscription required) showed, using the Mars GCM, that the south polar climate is unstable due to the peculiar topography near the pole, and the current configuration is on the instability border; we therefore expect to see rapid changes in ice cover as the regional climate transits between the unstable states.

Then he states that «And we are seeing consequences...» — note the «and we are seeing» implying additional information, not «these are» — and then discusses polar ice etc..

The findings reinforce suggestions that strong positive ice — temperature feedbacks have emerged in the Arctic15, increasing the chances of further rapid warming and sea ice loss, and will probably affect polar ecosystems, ice - sheet mass balance and human activities in the Arctic...» *** This is the heart of polar amplification and has very little to do with your stated defintion of amplifying the effects of warming going on at lower latitudes.

Personally I think the earth's normal state of no polar ice caps is the best configuration for living things.

Limits must be strict enough to avert the worst consequences of global warming that are already being felt in extreme weather events, droughts, floods, melting glaciers and polar ice caps and rising sea levels that threaten to swamp coastal communities and small island states.

«In this condition, the ice sheet will continue to absorb more solar energy in a self - reinforcing feedback loop that amplifies the effect of warming,» wrote Ohio State polar researcher Jason Box on the meltfactor.org blog.

Screen (32) explored the influence of Arctic sea ice on European summer climate using a state - of - the - art atmospheric model in view of the historically unprecedented sequence of six consecutive wet summers from 2007 to 2012 in northern Europe, which featured a marked southward shift of the polar jet stream.

A long - lived paradigm in polar oceanography is that arctic pelagic ecosystems, characterized by short food webs, remain in a dormant state throughout most of the winter season beneath the sea - ice cover, which can last 8 — 10 months in some regions.

The rhetoric and predictions of global warming acolytes have been every bit as confusing in the United States, with former vice president and carbon - credit entrepreneur Al Gore telling an audience in a 2009 speech that «the entire north polar ice cap during some of the summer months could be completely ice - free within the next five to seven years.»

Perhaps because the image we associate most often with a changing climate is not the devastation left by a flood in our own state but rather a polar bear perched on a chunk of melting ice or an African farmer bearing silent witness to the impacts of a disaster that's taken place on the other side of the world.

Since 2010, the European Space Agency's CryoSat satellite has circled the Earth and monitored the state of the polar sea ice, along with the ice sheets that cover Antarctica and Greenland.
