Now, if you have all this very cold, nearly freezing water surrounding these ice caps, sucking up carbon dioxide out of the polar atmosphere, at nearly the highest possible rate, 30 times faster than oxygen, and 70 times faster than nitrogen, doesn't it stand to reason that the air that remains might just have a lot less carbon dioxide in it than the atmosphere across the rest of the planet?

Climate models indicate that the Arctic warms at a faster rate than the rest of the planet, and hence it is of interest to compare the warming at the different latitudes (eg.

The Antarctic Peninsula is warming at a rate roughly six times faster than the rest of the planet.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE An extensive new study by climate impact researchers warns that humans will struggle to cope with drastic and rapid changes to the planet unless greenhouse gas emissions rates are cut now London, 8 October − Allowing the Earth's temperature to rise by more than 2ºC will see dramatic changes in vegetation across the planet and expose a billion more people to severe water scarcity, according to new research.

A slower growth rate of the net climate forcing may have contributed to the standstill of global temperature in the past decade, but it can not explain the standstill, because it is known that the planet has been out of energy balance, more energy coming in from the sun than energy being radiated to space.10 The planetary energy imbalance is due largely to the increase of climate forcings in prior decades and the great thermal inertia of the ocean.

According to David Wasdell, International Coordinator, Meridian Programme: «A runaway climate change is now clear and beginning to be quantified for the first time... the greatest threat we face as a planet... The rate of change we're generating in the current situation is between 200 - 300 times faster than that experience of any extinction event apart from the asteroidal impact.
