Given that impacts don't scale linearly — that's true both because of the statistics of normal distributions, which imply that (damaging) extremes become much more frequent with small shifts in the mean, and because significant breakpoints such as melting points for sea ice, wet - bulb temperatures too high for human survival, and heat tolerance for the most significant human food crops are all «in play» — the model forecasts using reasonable emissions inputs ought to be more than enough for anyone using sensible risk analysis to know that we making very bad choices right now.

It is possible, therefore, that the effects of recent accelerations in climate change have not yet started to have a significant contribution to or impact on current sea levels; but based on international scientific opinion, it is more a case of when, rather than if.

However, even a smaller figure (I had calculated about 0.17 W / m ^ 2 based on your inflated figure for total planetary albedo, but you can check it out) is still significant when compared with the total flux imbalance, which I think is a more informative comparison than an arbitrarily selected change in cloud cover, because it compares the sea ice reduction with the effects of all climate variations that have been operating in recent years..

As for sea temperatures, they are less significant for analyzing «global warming» than estimated total ocean heat content.

In which case, a story reporting James Hansen's claim that global warming will «result in a rise in sea level measured in metres within a century» will be put in the AGW dominant / exclusive categories, while a story along the lines of «global warming unlikely to cause significant problems to New York City in the near future» will find itself in one of the sceptic categories — even though the latter is closer than the former to the IPCC position.

Yes, Jimbo, people are aware of the WUWT site, and of the fact that people like you and Anthony take false comfort in the fact that during a significant chunk of the Holocene it was warmer than today, leading to a lot of ice melting, not just in the Arctic basin but on land, as well, causing sea levels to rise dramatically.

I believe we all agree that sea ice has an empirically observed higher albedo than sea water, so that a significant net melting of sea ice should lower the average albedo of Earth.

Though there can be significant differences in regional surface impacts between one SSW event and another, the typical pattern includes changes in sea level pressure resembling the negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) / Arctic Oscillation (AO), (representing a southward shift in the Atlantic storm track), wetter than average conditions for much of Europe, cold air outbreaks throughout the mid-latitudes, and warmer than average conditions in eastern Canada and subtropical Asia (see figure below, left panel).

Other factors, including greenhouse gases, also contributed to the warming and regional factors played a significant role in increasing temperatures in some regions, most notably changes in ocean currents which led to warmer - than - average sea temperatures in the North Atlantic.
