Not exact matches

But when tree rings, pollen counts in polar ice, and temperature records from multiple places around the world all point in the same direction, we become increasingly confident that global warming is a reality.

The last decade has been one of the warmest on record for the polar region, with 2007 summer temperatures having risen 9 degrees Fahrenheit above average in some areas.

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.

All siding with its infinite growth paradigm, so I'm not surprised to see you writing counter-pieces to the harsh truth, which, as it stands, is that we have a pretty much dead and severely warming ocean, daily record - breaking jet - stream related weather incidents, which in turn are caused by polar temperature anomalies of +20 C as of late.

Unusually low temperatures in the stratosphere, even cold records, are at fault — creating conditions whereby ice crystals form in so called polar stratospheric clouds.

The temperatures in the polar regions are skyrocketing as are observations of the ominous noctilucent clouds which have emerged at the earliest date on record this year.

If the record had been a tropical jungle or sea I'd have considered my hypothesis falsfied but so far every prediction made by it fits what has been observed with the sole exception of the Antarctic interior but that may be due to exceptional characteristics such as the strong polar vortex, ozone hole, and a temperature far lower than anywhere else on the planet.

These are all good signs — but, set against the rapid disintegration of polar ice caps and the record global temperatures each of the last three years, they still amount to too little.

Because the GISS analysis combines available sea surface temperature records with meteorological station measurements, we test alternative choices for the ocean data, showing that global temperature change is sensitive to estimated temperature change in polar regions where observations are limited.

Despite this natural variability - related switch pulling global temperatures down, NASA shows a globe in which few regions experienced below - average temperatures and where the highest concentration of record - warm temperatures are centered near the northern polar region.

Santa's elves got fed up freezing their asses off in slavish servitude to the jolly elf, and so they all went out and bought heaters, fired»em up, and started the polar ice melting,... which scared the crap out of the reindeer — LITERALLY, more crap, which caused more greenhouse gases to enter the atmosphere, which caused more polar warming, which caused more ice to melt, which caused wind patterns to change, thus, driving the wee cloud - warming fairies out of their warm clouds, creating colder temperatures, transferred by the changing wind patterns, intercepted by all Northern Hemisphere unicorns that inhaled it and exhaled it about the continent to produce record cold temperatures.

After record - low temperatures were set through the United States, «polar vortex» became a household term.

Record polar ice cap melt dick heads... absolute correlation between Co2 and temperature rise... Deal with it....

The following are more of interest: — «Winter Sampling of Shallow Firn Air at the South Pole to Understand Processes Affecting Firn Atmospheric Histories and Ice Core Gas Records» by Severinghaus (2000), — «Thermal fractionation of air in polar firn by seasonal temperature gradients» by Severinghaus, Grachev & Battle (2001), — «Severinghaus et al. «Fractionation of gases in polar ice during bubble close - off: New constraints from firn air Ne, Kr and Xe observations» by Severinghaus & Battle (2006), but all follow the same line of reasoning.

An advantage of compiling temperature records in this manner is that one could more easily see whether various areas of the globe (northern, southern hemishpere, equatorial or polar) are warming at different rates which would give further insight into wher the warming anthropogenic.

That happened in January 2014, with the «polar vortex» plunging most of the eastern U.S. into record low temperatures.

As the Earth's surface cools further, cold conditions spread to lower latitudes but polar surface water and the deep ocean can not become much colder, and thus the benthic foraminifera record a temperature change smaller than the global average surface temperature change [43].

4) If the temperature of the whole globe is being dragged down by the aerosols direct effect but most of the globe (the majority of the oceans, the polar regions, the deserts,...) is basically unaffected by this DE, it makes sense to look at the instrumental record to see the coolness in the affected industrialized regions that would compensate for the lack of aerosols on the rest of the globe.

The 800 - year lag between the beginnings of temperature increase and CO2 rise in the polar ice record is because the initial warming that provoked the end of the ice ages was caused by changes in the Earth's alignment and orbit around the sun; not anthropogenic CO2.
