It is not that the polar regions are amplifying the warming «going on» at lower latitudes, it is that any warming going on AT THE POLES is amplified through inherent positive feedback processes AT THE POLES, and specifically this is primarily the ice - albedo positive feedback process whereby more open water leads to more warming leads to more open water, etc. *** «Climate model simulations have shown that ice albedo feedbacks associated with variations in snow and sea - ice coverage are a key factor in positive feedback mechanisms which amplify climate change at high northern latitudes...»

The winter snowpack in mountainous regions such as the Himalayas, the Rockies, the Sierra, and the Andes is a most efficient reservoir, storing water through the cold months and releasing it gradually as snowmelt in warm months when farmers need it.

And as a rapidly warming Arctic encourages more ship traffic through Canada's Northwest Passage and along other polar routes, the sooty emissions from passing freighters will significantly accelerate climate change in the region, according to a new Canadian - American study that, for the first time, predicts the potential impact of engine exhaust particles on the Arctic environment.

It is clear to me, that the variance observed from region to region behave other than the influence of a well mixed gas; rather, the warm and cold spots reflect powerful forces, moving through gigantic masses governed by laws of mixing by eddies and turbulence not even remotely captured by program code.

The energy system is both a source of emissions that lead to global warming and it can also be directly affected by climate change: through changes in our energy consumption patterns, potential shutdowns of offshore oil and gas production, changing ice and snow conditions in the oil production regions of Alaska, changing sea ice conditions in the Arctic Ocean and the implications for shipping routes, and impacts of sea - level rise on coasts, where so much of our energy facility infrastructure is located.
