The fall of the temperature of the sea water is sometimes a sign of the proximity of ice, although in regions where there is an intermixture of cold and
warm currents going on, as at the junction of the Labrador Current and the Gulf Stream, the temperature of the sea has been known to rise as the ice is approached.

In a new paper, Hansen and colleagues warn that the
current international plan to limit global
warming isn't
going to be nearly enough to avert disasters like runaway ice - sheet melting and consequent sea - level rise.
The Pacific Ocean's
current cool phase is driving the global
warming slowdown — but that countering effect is not
going to last, scientists say.
«Having said all that,» said Larsen, «the

warming trend
going on right now.»
Forecasters believe the
current Kelvin wave and the already
warmer ocean temperatures, signal that the El Niño is
going to persist, which was another factor in officially declaring an event.
This dialogue concluded that... limiting global
warming to below 2 °C necessitates a radical transition through deep decarbonization starting now and
going forward, not merely a fine tuning of
current trends.»

current economic climate... or they could be making it relevant... getting rich while everything else is
going to shit.
(see Part 1 of the Link) The way to
go is simply to state clearly what the working hypothesis is and what are the reasonable assumptions that
went into them — in my case the basic assumptions are that the
current warming peak is a synchronous peak in the 60 and 960 year periodicities and that the 10Be and neutron count records are the best proxy for solar activity.
b) There is some other mechanism of producing global
warming that has been active in the past, but occurs by a mechanism that is not included in
current models, and which doesn't have anything to do with CO2, and this, rather than CO2, is responsible for the
warming seen in the instrumental record (and whatever that mechanism is, it is temporary and will
go away by itself Real Soon Now).
Seems this might hold for larger scale events, such as the arctic ice melting (i.e., there would be more
warming in the arctic ocean in our
current times, except some of the «
warming» energy is
going into the melting process rather than
warming).
First, thanks to everyone at realclimate for all their excellent work; this website
goes a long way to help negate the impact of the mostly fossil fuel funded denier charade, and is especially useful for the interested layperson to stay abreast of
current research on global
warming.
I don't see a compelling reason for middle school science teachers to
go into details of the earth's
current warming, although they should be free to do that if they want to.
So the «skeptics» need proxies, because they want to believe that it has been this
warm before (for some reason that the
current models can't predict), and it
went away of its own accord.
But if global
warming continues at its
current rate, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates, the glaciers could be mostly
gone from the mountains by 2035.
It's too soon to say whether the
current «pause» in
warming is anything more than statistics being clouded by one unusual El Nino event, but we should be thinking now about possible explanations just in case something more interesting is
going on.
However, if either A we are simply dead wrong about the impact of GHGs and / or B we are missing the forest (solar / astronimical and tectonic things) for the trees (gas mixture things) and the actual future, among the several possible futures, turns out to be one of cooling — possibly the outright end of the
current interglacial, then all those people wound up to believe in a
warm future are
going to be cold, hungry and out for blood.
If there was more natural variation in the past millenia, specifically due to solar changes, then that
goes at the cost of the GHG / aerosol combination, as both are near impossible to distinguish from each other in the
warming of the last halve century... Solar activity has never been as high, and for an as long period, as
current in the past millenium (and even the past 8,000 years).
A more reasonable natural variability / forcing argument might
go something like this: 1) There is natural variability of climate due to solar activity 2) Climate is changing now 3) Forcing can result in climate change, but the response of the C cycle to forcing is poorly understood 4) Forcing is happening now 5) Forcing and / or solar activity could be to blame for
current warming trends Is this unreasonable?
BTW:
going back 15 million years or more (say, to dinos 65 Myr) is not relevant to GHG
warming today — the
current glaciation cycle is only a COUPLE of a million years old!
If the book
goes on to say that
current science indicates at least half the
warming of the last 50 years is due to human influence, is that not exactly what the IPCC says?
The
currents near where the
warm anomalies have been found move 180 degrees the other way, and that is
going to cause opposing
current flow given the earth EMF and that moving conductor.
bozzza - The differences in the Arctic are perhaps 1/4 the ocean thermal mass as global ocean averages, small overall size (the smallest ocean), being almost surrounded by land (which
warms faster), more limited liquid interchanges due to bottlenecking than the Antarctic, and very importantly considerable susceptibility to positive albedo feedbacks; as less summer ice is present given
current trends, solar energy absorbed by the Arctic ocean
goes up very rapidly.
Since OHC has continued
going up throughout, Pielke correctly predicted the
current situation, and the globe has
warmed throughout the «pause».
Thank you for agreeing that there are other factors at work in global
warming and bearing in mind the strength of those as demonstrated by climate history then any claim that man - made factors are anywhere near as large as 100 % or greater are
going to have to demonstrate the
current and past natural changes and how they interact.
They also found that, consistent with my team's research, about 30 % of overall global
warming has
gone into the deep oceans below 700 meters due to changing wind patterns and ocean
currents.
In order to properly understand, what is
going on in the Arctic ocean, we first must understand the oceanic oscillation and the
currents in this vast ocean, it is interesting to note, Sweden is recalling its ice breaker from the USA Antarctic survey, and there is concern in the sea of Okhotsk — where, for the last couple of years breaking the winter sea ice has been a major problem, colder here, relatively «
warmer» there etc..
But Lindzen has
gone too far, Schneider says, because, given the complexity of the subject, it makes no sense to focus on a few unexplained aspects of human - induced
warming when the overwhelming indicators — along with
current temperature and weather patterns — suggest that the theory is right.
The sun has recently
gone into a less active phase of fewer sun - spots, and the ocean decadal
currents have changed from a
warming to a cooling phase.
You have to
go a very, very long way around the facts to call it questionable or preconceived that the
current level of global temperature today is
warm relative to the later part of Marcott's reconstruction.
I'm not for a moment suggesting this makes global
warming go away, only it might slow the rate of change down - a bit - in the short term (perhaps the average transit time of deep
currents).
I looked first at the Vostok core data and found that the
current warm period was far more stable that all others
going back nearly 500k years and that all the other
warm periods had been hotter than the
current.
You wrote, «And inquiring oceanographers want to know, where can they
go in the South Atlantic to measure
warm SURFACE
currents that cross the equator?»
Further, the probabilistic approach reveals a picture startling to even most global -
warming pessimists: If we're to avoid precipitating what that U.N. Framework Convention genteelly calls «dangerous anthropogenic interference,» we're
going to have to aim at an atmospheric greenhouse - gas concentration target that, by
current trends, we'll reach in less than two decades.
So whenever I see a claim like above about
warming in Alaska I jump to the
current weather charts to see what's
going.
And since the temperature difference between the Arctic and the tropics is narrowing, and since it's the temperature difference that drives wind and ocean
currents, then the jet stream that normally whizzes around the Arctic circle — thus keeping frozen air in one place and separating it from the
warm breezes of the south — is, the theory
goes, slowing, thus allowing
warm moist air to penetrate into the north.
Because the
current plan (such as there is one) is «We need to limit
warming to 2C so we're not
going to take enough action to make this likely».
I was
going to look at the whole thing now but the post has been getting very long so for now I'll just focus on the ideas that the
current warming is insignificant on geological timescales, and that
warming is good anyway.
Two scientists who believe we are on the wrong track argue in the
current issue of the journal Nature Climate Change that global
warming is inevitable and it's time to switch our focus from trying to stop it to figuring out how we are
going to deal with its consequences..»
The paper being discussed here makes the claim that the
current hiatus in
warming is due to the heat
going into the Atlantic ocean as the Atlantic ocean is currently in the 30 year cooling phase of it's ~ 60 year
warming / cooling cycle.
Is the
current modern
warming a peak and are we
going to slide down the other side in the near future?
In your most
current comment to me, you
go on to quote Nathan Mantua of JISAO, «Typical surface climate anomaly patterns for
warm phases of PDO are shown in Figure 1.
Also it is not that relevant to our
current problem of finding where the heat that would have
warmed the surface has
gone.
If the
current temperature continues for another 6 months or so, HadCRUT3 will show a «no
warming» trend since January 1998, or over 14 years (with only 3 years left to
go).
While I hope this is not the case (for the sake of climatology
going forward beyond the
current cult of global
warming) you are to be lauded as one of the few voices with the courage to treat this a scientific issue rather than a political one.
If the previous models are unskilled at predicting the
current hiatus in surface
warming and this is really because the
warming has
gone into the oceans then exactly how long will this take to come back and bite us in the bum?
