The trouble is,
ice cores are the gold
standard for estimating past atmospheric carbon dioxide
levels, and Marchant says the Dry Valley glaciers are the only ones known to contain
ice that old.
Green status is the
standard Starbucks status
level and comes with perks like free birthday rewards, free refills on hot or
iced brewed coffee, special email offers, etc..
Even RCP8.5 (with its unlikely assumptions to reach that
level of forcings) gets an
ice - free arctic only in the late 21st C — by the IPCC's definition (which IMO should be the
standard definition used in these discussions).
Although the satellites are considered the gold -
standard for measuring and observing sea
levels, hurricanes / typhoons, ozone holes, sea
ice, atmospheric CO2 distribution, polar
ice sheet masses and etc., the same 24/7 technology used to measure temperatures across the entire habitable world is now being ignored (i.e., denied) due to the above inconvenient evidence.
The latest average Greenland
ice reflectivity (69.2 %) from 13 August is at a
level still below 1
standard deviation from the 2000 - 2009 10 year «climatology».
RE: 4th Error -RCB- Poses an objection to the non-scientific term catastrophic [NOTE: Scientific «consensus» is often being used & / or implied in
standard climate - change discourse - Yet Consensus is a Political Term - NOT a Scientific Term]- HOWEVER - When Jim Hansen, the IPCC & Al Gore, et - al - go from predicting 450 — 500 ppm CO2 to 800 — 1000ppm by the end of the 21st century -LCB- said to the be highest atmospheric CO2 content in 20 — 30 Million YRS -RCB-; — & estimates for aver global temps by 21st century's end go from 2 * C to 6 * C to 10 * C; — & increased sea
level estimates go from 10 - 20 cm to 50 - 60 cm to 1M — 2M -LCB- which would totally submerge the Maldives & partially so Bangladesh -RCB-; — predictions of the total melting of the Himalayan
Ice caps by 2050, near total melting of Greenland's ice sheet & partial melting of Antarctica's ice sheet before the 21st century's end; — massive crop failures; — more intense & frequent hurricane -LCB- ala Katrina -RCB- for much longer seasonal durations, etc, etc, etc... — IMO That's Sounds pretty damned CATASTROPHIC to

The report warns that continued burning of fossil fuels to increase living
standards while expecting humanity to adapt to climate change and mitigate its effects through better technologies «fails to appreciate the nature of the threat posed by
ice sheet instability and sea
level rise.
So its going to turn into an area where any true discussion based on the science of the specific aspect —
ice free Artic, sea
level rise (when, where and how much)-- will be missing and any chance of actual education will be gone if the
standard «opponents» get used in the discussions and they stick to their
standard behaviors when discussing anything to do with climate change.
