However, I've never seen a single media article in any U.S. press outlet that covered these issues — the large - scale evidence for global warming (melting glaciers, warming poles, shrinking sea ice, ocean temperatures) to the local scale (more intense hurricanes, more intense precipitation, more frequent droughts and heat waves) while also discussing the real causes (fossil fuels and deforestation) and the real solutions (replacement of fossil fuels with renewables, limiting deforestation, and halting the use of fossil fuels, especially coal and oil.)

The denialist cut - paste attempts to — via logical fallacy, hand - waving and dissembling — make it appear that... that... well, who knows but it isn't germane nor does it refute eroding coastlines due to less ice, nor does the denialist cut - paste refute the facts of melting permafrost, CH4 release, warmer Arctic temps, birds moving north into the Arctic, increased freshwater flow into the northern seas, and numerous other indicators.

IF cool deep sea water were mixed relentlessly with surface water by some engineering method --(e.g. lots of wave operated pumps and 800m pipes) could that enouromous cool reservoir of water a) mitigate the thermal expansion of the oceans because of the differential in thermal expansion of cold and warm water, and b) cool the atmosphere enough to reduce the other wise expected effects of global warming?

The second aspect of climate change that is likely affecting Alaska more and more is the apparent tendency of warming in the Arctic and warmer sea surface temperatures in the Pacific to contribute to larger waves in the jet stream.

Similar negative effects occur with worsening air pollution — higher levels of ground - level ozone smog and other pollutants that increase with warmer temperatures have been directly linked with increased rates of respiratory and cardiovascular disease — food production and safety — warmer temperatures and varying rainfall patterns mess up staple crop yields and aid the migration and breeding of pests that can devastate crops — flooding — as rising sea levels make coastal areas and densely - populated river deltas more susceptible to storm surges and flooding that result from severe weather — and wildfires, which can be ancillary to increased heat waves and are also responsible for poor air quality (not to mention burning people's homes and crops).

As the planet warms and storms, flooding, drought, heat waves, and sea level rise intensify, it is essential that students entering the profession have the knowledge and design skills necessary to address and mitigate the effects of climate change.

But if you're saying that the effect of global warming on moisture is as if sea level rise initially only affected the wave peaks, and it takes a very long time for the troughs to catch up, and therefore the waves * would * get bigger if the seas rose fast enough, then maybe.

As reported by Chris Mooney at Mother Jones at the time (now a journalist at the Washington Post), the draft report warned unequivocally that unchecked greenhouse gas emissions would cause the global warming trend to «accelerate significantly,» bringing more heat waves and weather extremes, severe storms, rising seas, devastating floods, prolonged droughts, and more.

From sea level rise to heat waves, from extreme weather to disease outbreaks, each unique challenge requires locally - suitable solutions to prepare for and respond to the impacts of global warming.

Warm winters lessened sea shore ice which normally protected the sea edge of the town from winter storm surge and waves.

This warming, in turn, has melted ice, raised sea levels, and increased the frequency of extreme weather events: heat waves and heavy rains, for example.

If we continue on our current emissions path, we're already headed for warming of up to 9 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100, which few climate scientists argue would be anything other than catastrophic, because of the drastic rise in sea levels, heat waves, species extinctions and shifts in rainfall that would result.

Climate change is the long - term average of a region's weather events lumped together.There are some effects of greenhouse gases and global warming: melting of ice caps, rising sea levels, change in climatic patterns, spread diseases, economic consequences, increased droughts and heat waves.

Based on the results of researches and scientific studies, the climatic rise in the world's temperature, the sea level rise and coastal flooding, abnormal weather patterns, unusually warm weather heat waves, ocean warming, devastating typhoons and tornadoes, El Niño and la Niña, heavy snowfalls in many parts of the world, increased ranges of pests, drought and fires, and loss of biodiversity are the life - threatening results of climate change.

When we put these developments against the harsh warnings of an organization as conservative as the World Bank — that «we're on track for a 4 °C warmer world marked by extreme heat - waves, declining global food stocks, loss of ecosystems and biodiversity, and life - threatening sea level rise» — the only reasonable conclusion is that the world has gone mad.

There is new information that lack of sea ice causes storms to produce larger waves and more coastal erosion.5 An additional contributing factor is that coastal bluffs that were «cemented» by permafrost are beginning to thaw in response to warmer air and ocean waters, and are therefore more vulnerable to erosion.22 Standard defensive adaptation strategies to protect coastal communities from erosion such as use of rock walls, sandbags, and riprap have been largely unsuccessful.23 There remains considerable uncertainty, however, about the spatial patterns of future coastal erosion.

To the long list of predicted consequences of global warming — stronger storms, methane release, habitat changes, ice - sheet melting, rising seas, stronger El Niños, killer heat waves — we must now add abrupt, catastrophic coolings.
