-LSB-...] In fact, the

There has been a long - term downward trend in summer
global sea ice extent, though the trend is less clear in the winter, reflecting the fact that the Arctic
shows a clearer long - term trend than the Antarctic.
Previous research has
shown that
global warming will cause changes in ocean temperatures,
sea ice extent, salinity, and oxygen levels, among other impacts, that are likely to lead to significant shifts in the distribution range and productivity of marine species, the study notes.

Ancillary to Bob Loblaw's fine comment at 232, previous research has

While the climate change signal is much clearer in the northern latitudes - where longer - term records
show a relatively steady retreat of Arctic
sea ice - evidence of
global warming's impact around Antarctica is also
showing up in the observations.
This time series of daily
global sea ice extent (Arctic plus Antarctic)
shows global extent tracking below the 1981 to 2010 average.

If the
sea ice around Antarctica is growing (on a decadal trend basis)-- which any schoolboy analysis of freely available basic data
shows...... what does this tell you about the certainty of
global warming?
Two studies in the current edition of the journal «Nature»
show that
global warming is already posing a threat to a variety of plants and animals, and other research suggests that the
sea ice around the Earth's poles could melt entirely by the end of this century.
In a recent paper, paleoclimatic data
shows that the tropical monsoon cycle responds very reliably to the ups and downs of Milankovitch insolation forcing on one of the shorter time scales (either 23kyr 65N forcing swings or the 41kyr obliquity cycle, I forget which), but the
ice sheets and
sea level and
global temperature do not respond directly to those insolation forcings.
For example, additional evidence of a warming trend can be found in the dramatic decrease in the extent of Arctic
sea ice at its summer minimum (which occurs in September), decrease in spring snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere, increases in the
global average upper ocean (upper 700 m or 2300 feet) heat content (
shown relative to the 1955 — 2006 average), and in
sea - level rise.
More on the high, but heretofore largely neglected, role that soot plays in increasing
global warming: Research from Stanford University
shows that soot is second only to carbon dioxide in its warming contribution, and that reducing it may be the only way we can stop Arctic
sea ice melting.
In light of trends
showing a likely 3 °C or more
global temperature rise by the end of this century (a figure that could become much higher if all feedback processes, such as changes of
sea ice and water vapor, are taken into account) that could result in
sea level rises ranging from 20 to 59 cm (again a conservative estimation), Hansen believes it is critical for scientists in the field to speak out about the consequences and rebuke the spin offered by pundits who «have denigrated suggestions that business - as - usual greenhouse gas emissions may cause a
sea level rise of the order of meters.»
The research has
shown that manmade
global warming is likely responsible for 50 to 60 percent of Arctic
sea ice decline during the satellite era.
For example, while all of the
global climate models participating in the most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report
show a decline in Arctic
sea ice over the period of available observations, none of them match the severity of the trends we actually observe.
That study
showed sea ice extent crashing by two thirds by the 2030s and then collapsing to near - zero shortly thereafter — unless we cut
global GHG emissions about 60 % to 70 % almost immediately and have further cuts after that, an implausible assumption the authors never spelled out clearly (as I explain here).
Recent research by Charles Greene at Cornell University and other climate scientists has
shown that as more Arctic
sea ice melts in the summer — because of
global warming — the NAO is more likely to be negative during the autumn and winter.
The shift provides additional evidence that changes in the Arctic are not only directly because of
global warming, as
shown by warmer air and
sea temperatures, but are also part of an «Arctic amplification» through which multiple Arctic - specific physical processes interact to accelerate temperature change,
ice variability, and ecological impacts.
