Sentences with phrase «sea ice at both poles»

On Mr. Will's defense of his accuracy, particularly on trends in sea ice at both poles as they related to global warming, it's worth pointing out a few things.

This follows the amount of sea ice at both poles, Arctic and Antarctic.

NASA's Operation IceBridge is a six - year mission to survey land and sea ice at the poles.

Sea ice at both poles has been expected to decline as the planet heats up from the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

The rate of freeze and thaw can not possibly be the same for sea ice at both poles.

Not exact matches

Sea levels have also risen due to melting glaciers and ice sheets at the poles.

Sea ice is a crucial part of the ecosystems at both poles, providing habitat and influencing food availability for penguins, polar bears and other native species.

The knock - on effects of such a transition would be huge — they would cause marked increase of warming at the pole, since open water absorbs more of the sun's energy than ice - covered seas.

[ANDY REVKIN comments: The Antarctic has seen no change in the extent of floating sea ice in recent years, in stark contrast to the situation in the Arctic, and all of this shows the Earth's climate system, particularly at the poles, is not simple — and thus not likely to follow a simple trajectory under a greenhouse push from humans.

It is not that the polar regions are amplifying the warming «going on» at lower latitudes, it is that any warming going on AT THE POLES is amplified through inherent positive feedback processes AT THE POLES, and specifically this is primarily the ice - albedo positive feedback process whereby more open water leads to more warming leads to more open water, etc. *** «Climate model simulations have shown that ice albedo feedbacks associated with variations in snow and sea - ice coverage are a key factor in positive feedback mechanisms which amplify climate change at high northern latitudes...&raquat lower latitudes, it is that any warming going on AT THE POLES is amplified through inherent positive feedback processes AT THE POLES, and specifically this is primarily the ice - albedo positive feedback process whereby more open water leads to more warming leads to more open water, etc. *** «Climate model simulations have shown that ice albedo feedbacks associated with variations in snow and sea - ice coverage are a key factor in positive feedback mechanisms which amplify climate change at high northern latitudes...&raquAT THE POLES is amplified through inherent positive feedback processes AT THE POLES, and specifically this is primarily the ice - albedo positive feedback process whereby more open water leads to more warming leads to more open water, etc. *** «Climate model simulations have shown that ice albedo feedbacks associated with variations in snow and sea - ice coverage are a key factor in positive feedback mechanisms which amplify climate change at high northern latitudes...&raquAT THE POLES, and specifically this is primarily the ice - albedo positive feedback process whereby more open water leads to more warming leads to more open water, etc. *** «Climate model simulations have shown that ice albedo feedbacks associated with variations in snow and sea - ice coverage are a key factor in positive feedback mechanisms which amplify climate change at high northern latitudes...&raquat high northern latitudes...»

That's melting the ice at both poles, increasing sea levels.

There is no reason whatsoever to expect that similar behavior will be seen at the different poles; a few feet of ice floating on water is not exactly the same as two kilometers of ice piled up on a continent (East Antarctica) nor is either of those much like a kilometer of ice sitting on the sea floor (West Antarctica).

Therefore, the increase in sea ice is caused by increasing cold at the pole.

We might learn more from looking more closely at the descent of White and his kind from «progressive» to authoritarian than we might from looking at charts depicting the extent of sea ice in the poles.

For example, conditions at the poles affect how much heat is retained by the earth because of the reflective properties of ice and snow, the world's ocean circulation depends on sinking in polar regions, and melting of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets could have drastic effects on sea level.

And remember, the satellite data are one small part of a vast amount of data that overwhelmingly show our planet is warming up: retreating glaciers, huge amounts of ice melting at both poles, the «death spiral» of arctic ice every year at the summer minimum over time, earlier annual starts of warm weather and later starts of cold weather, warming oceans, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, more extreme weather, changing weather patterns overall, earlier snow melts, and lower snow cover in the spring...

I think you will find the exact opposite in all 3 sea ice metrics; winter maximum, summer minimum and annual range, at both poles.

The first half of 2017 has seen record low sea ice extents at both poles and near - record global average temperatures — despite the absence of a...

Sea ice at the other pole, around Antarctica, also reached a record November low.

Armour says this is most likely due to feedback mechanisms that have yet to take off fully, such as the increased absorption of sunlight at the poles as reflective ice sheets and sea ice melt away.

Each summer brings fresh speculations about how many years the sea ice will remain at the pole.

Land and sea based ice at both poles have melted, and have contributed to global sea level rise.

Only since the beginning of the era of satellite measurement (1979) have we had comprehensive, accurate data on sea - ice extent at the poles.

But NSIDC, where the data in the graph reportedly originated, said it makes little sense to combine sea ice measures from both poles, which have vastly different geographies and are always in opposite seasons at any given time.

Eventually, we will get to a state where there is enough heat absorbed during the summer, even at the shorter summer near the pole, to completely melt the sea ice.

19 Melting Ice and Rising Sea Levels If the global temperature increased, the amount of ice and snow at the poles would decrease, causing sea levels around the world to riIce and Rising Sea Levels If the global temperature increased, the amount of ice and snow at the poles would decrease, causing sea levels around the world to riSea Levels If the global temperature increased, the amount of ice and snow at the poles would decrease, causing sea levels around the world to riice and snow at the poles would decrease, causing sea levels around the world to risea levels around the world to rise.

(Part of the How to Talk to a Climate Skeptic guide) Objection: Sea ice at the north pole recovered a whopping 9.4 percent from 2007 to 2008 despite the doom and gloom predictions of the alarmists.

Not exactly at the south pole but Antarctic sea ice (floating stuff) extent is still 1 - 2 million k ^ 2 greater than Arctic sea ice.

Because sea ice conditions in the Antarctic are different from the Arctic, we would not expect identical effects at the two poles.

Antarctic sea ice is not at the south pole.

Operation IceBridge is a NASA airborne mission that has been flying multiple campaigns at both poles each year since 2009, with a goal of maintaining critical continuity of observations of sea ice and the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica.

Using a model that tracked a range of habitat conditions, including water temperature and depth from sea ice, to predict which habitats would be most impacted by climate change, William Cheung, the study's lead author, and his colleagues found that around 50 species of commercial fishes living near or at the poles will go extinct within the next 4 decades.

The text follows adventurous scientists through the ice caps at the poles to the coral reefs of the tropical seas.

The plummeting sea ice levels are of grave concern, but there is very little media coverage of what is unfolding at the poles.

Melting ice that sits above sea level nearer the poles ends up adding more more mass nearer the equator as the now liquid water distributes itself across the globe at sea level.
