Current ice extent
is well below
levels at the same point in 2012, which went on to set the current record for the lowest
sea ice
minimum extent:
In contrast, the much more expansive ice volume maxima (equivalently,
sea level minima) during a glacial maximum
is more defined.
Curiously
sea level also correlates with solar
minimums (
sea level falls during solar
minimums) with the change in

be expected based on thermal expansion due to temperature change.
A responsible press release would have discussed both — that the Pfeffer et al.
minimum estimate for a Greenland
sea level contribution
was 25 % above the IPCC maximum estimate.
These include eastern boundary current upwelling systems such as those off the U.S. west coast along coastal California, Oregon and Washington, deep -
sea and subsurface oxygen
minimum zones, and coastal waters that
are already experiencing excess nutrient
levels (eutrophication) and low dissolved oxygen (hypoxia) due to human - driven nutrient pollution from land - based activities.
Nor can any such conclusion
be reconciled with the relations between temperature and
sea level rise during the recent history of Earth, which
are in the very
minimum +8 meters per +1 degree C (as in the mid-Pliocene (3 Ma), or about +20 meters per +1 degree C in the Youngest dryas (11 230 years ago).
While it
's still a bit early to tell how low overnight
minima may go late this week, it
's entirely possible that some colder valley locations near
sea level will fall below 20 degrees.
And remember, the satellite data
are one small part of a vast amount of data that overwhelmingly show our planet
is warming up: retreating glaciers, huge amounts of ice melting at both poles, the «death spiral» of arctic ice every year at the summer
minimum over time, earlier annual starts of warm weather and later starts of cold weather, warming oceans, rising
sea levels, ocean acidification, more extreme weather, changing weather patterns overall, earlier snow melts, and lower snow cover in the spring...
Total
sea ice extent for the previous three months
was near or below the
level of 2007, the year with the lowest
minimum summer ice extent during the satellite record.
Sea ice
minimum levels are falling at the rate of 14 % a decade in the Arctic, and polar bears have
been feeling the loss.
Imagine if Waxman - Markey had passed within the envelope of both major ocean circulations going negative...... Grand recession / solar
minima / end extreme eccentricity
minima interglacial or not, we could
be sitting around now, swilling non-carbonated champagne, patting each other on the back, celebrating the FACT that we had quelled the heathen devil promulgated
sea level rising to the AR4 worst case scenario of 0.59 meters, only to watch it go +6
M etc,.
We should also not forget that back in 2005,
minimum sea ice
levels like we've seen since 2007 (3 - 5 mkm2)
were not predicted to occur until 2040 - 2070.
Depending on how the weather plays out over the next few weeks, that
minimum is likely to fall somewhere between second and fifth place, they estimate — still a remarkably low
level that shows how precipitously
sea ice has declined in recent decades.
Actually Fielding's use of that graph
is quite informative of how denialist arguments
are framed — the selected bit of a selected graph (and don't mention the fastest warming region on the planet
being left out of that data set), or the complete passing over of short term variability vs longer term trends, or the other measures and indicators of climate change from ocean heat content and
sea levels to changes in ice sheets and
minimum sea ice
levels, or the passing over of issues like lag time between emissions and effects on temperatures... etc..
The
minimum length requirement of 50 — 60 years to produce a realistic
sea -
level rate of rise
is also discussed in other works such as Baart et al. (2012), Douglas (1995, 1997), Gervais (2016), Jevrejeva et al. (2008), Knudsen et al. (2011), Scafetta (2013a, b), Wenzel and Schröter (2014) and Woodworth (2011).»
Please enlighten me as to why I should
be reasonably concerned with an anthropogenic signal,
sea -
level wise, which
is at best 10 % of the most recent end extreme interglacial climate «noise», and which, at worst,
is 2.8 % of the possible +21.3
m MSL which may have
been achieved the last time we
were at an eccentricity
minimum.......
A recent World Bank study on the effects of
sea level rise estimated that a
minimum of 57 million people would
be displaced by a 1 - meter rise in
sea level and many coastal cities and communities would
be at significant risk.
For example, additional evidence of a warming trend can
be found in the dramatic decrease in the extent of Arctic
sea ice at its summer
minimum (which occurs in September), decrease in spring snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere, increases in the global average upper ocean (upper 700
m or 2300 feet) heat content (shown relative to the 1955 — 2006 average), and in
sea -
level rise.
For the purposes of post-glacial rebound analysis, the
minimum error bar on a
sea -
level indicator should
be at least 25 cm.
CO2
minima were reached approximately when the
sea level was at a
minimum, hence, the extent of the continental ice sheets
were at a maximum, and the highest CO2
levels were found during interglacials during the high stands of the
sea level.
At a
minimum, updated flood zone maps that account for
sea level rise (incorporating land subsidence) should
be a priority in coastal areas.
Explanation of mid-Eemian
sea level minimum is not sound?
It needs to
be boiled for a BARE
MINIMUM of one minute, and more if you
're 300 meters or more above
sea level (http://www.climbing-high.com/how-to-purify-water.html).
What that means in terms of human impact
is at
minimum 10 % of the world's population will
be directly affected by
sea level rise.
The paper questioned whether climate change
was dangerous for polar bears and whether the region
was warming at all, even as NASA reported that the 2007
minimum sea ice
levels were at an all - time low, falling to nearly 40 percent below the 1979 - 2000 average.
A number of preparations have
been made in Finland for the rising
sea level, including the issuing of recommendations for
minimum construction elevations, which
were last set in 2014.
Seven of the models (also Gregory, 1993; Bryan, 1996) show a
minimum of
sea level rise in the circumpolar Southern Ocean south of 60 °
