ReconRat Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) What I saw was the data on both poles and the amount of sea ice. It's breaking all records for both melting AND freezing. Even larger amounts of ocean are freezing. This is because it's both thin ice, and the previous melt left the water less salty, it freezes easier. But thin or thick, it reflects heat and sunlight. Is this the planet's method of regulating temperatures? Is it enough to lower temperatures? Is this how ice ages start? Whip the temps up and down and wind up with glaciers?

bloodninja420 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 My understanding of the data is that global temperatures haven't risen in the last 17 years at all. This fact tends to be glossed over by those making a living studying global warming or advocating against industrial civilization. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much talk on both sides of the coin on this one. Interesting to note the main heat source for planet earth is almost never figured into the equations.That would be the Sun, which does not have a fixed output. Solar activity does make a difference. With that said, the ability of the poles and heat sink actions of the oceans would seem to be a factor in the regulation of the Earths temperature. Although as understood today what that role is seems to be unclear. But seeing it in action looks like it does something. On the other hand, government funding for research that does not result in something to tax, seems a little far fetched.To be fair our government does fund some things seemingly just out of curiosity such as this one;http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/federal-eye/wp/2014/09/02/why-the-federal-government-spent-3-million-to-study-lesbian-obesity/Which was one of my biggest concerns </s> Edited October 6, 2014 by Strictly Street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Ummm, guys, it's just a wee bit more complicated than how much surface area of polar ice is melting or freezing…. The main issue with the increase in hydrocarbon emissions is an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. First, CO2 is obviously a greenhouse gas, although not necessarily one of the big actors--methane is a much better compound for trapping radiant heat, and the major sources of methane are organic bio-degradation, termite activity and bovine flatulence….ahem. However, CO2 is mostly absorbed by our oceans, which act as huge, nearly infinite sinks for the gas. Problem is that the oceans no longer have a near 'infinite' capacity to absorb our excess HCs. As the oceans have become more saturated with CO2, it has acidified the water. As the pH of the oceans drop, the ability of the water to absorb CO2 also diminishes, so it's very much a double-edged sword. At some point, the theory is that our oceans will stop absorbing CO2 and may even begin to out-gas, which would lead to a rapid increase in atmospheric CO2 and corresponding rapid increase in world-wide temps. This isn't even taking into account the effect ocean acidification has on the life balance in the ocean's eco-system, which is still one of the primary food sources for the world's population. I readily agree that the science of global warming is still far from being 100% predictive, but you'd have to be totally uninformed and uneducated about the effects the industrial revolution has had on carbon dioxide emissions over the last two centuries to ignore the potential for environmental and economic disaster caused by rising global temps. I doubt that my generation will live to see the compounding effects of our choices, but my children, your children, and our grandchildren will most certainly experience the effects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yup, NASA knows three things clearly. "Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives." "There is no question that increased levels of greenhouse gases must cause the Earth to warm in response." "They also show that in the past, large changes in climate have happened very quickly, geologically-speaking: in tens of years, not in millions or even thousands." That last one should cause everyone to pay attention. It isn't impossible to have a 30 year ice age while waiting for global warming to kick back in. Or vice versa. Sudden warming followed by a period of rapid cooling. Bubba has a good point about damage to the oceans. A percent of the world population depends on ocean fish for their main source of protein. Roughly one billion. That's around 14%. To shut that off is a major change, effecting mostly Asian countries, third world populations, and coastal communities. Combined with over fishing, it's going to happen. Results won't be pretty. People will starve, move away, and fight as always happens. NASA sees where the carbon dioxide comes from. It is vast majority from recently developed countries. China and India, and to a lesser extent, Eastern Europe. There is very little we can do here (or there), other than invent new methods and means of energy for them to use. http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/Sea Level RiseGlobal Temperature RiseWarming OceansShrinking Ice SheetsDeclining Arctic Sea IceGlacial RetreatExtreme EventsOcean AcidificationDecreased Snow Cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okeefe01 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I don't buy in completely to all of the "climate change" science. There's a statistic for every argument. They'll say that the average temperature has risen about two degrees in the last 100 years. But 100 years ago, people in the U.S. were still using outhouses; so how accurate could the temperature logs from 100 years ago, have been?I took some anthropology classes in the late 1980's and at that time the general consensus was that there is and ice age on the way. There was all kinds of science that supposedly showed that the earth was cooling and that the sun was slowly running out of gas. I even remember them saying that the musk ox in Sweden, that require cold temperatures, were migrating south lower than they have been since the last ice age. This supposedly was proof that the earth was cooling. But, that being said, if you want to see how quickly and significantly humans can in fact change the climate, look up the dust bowl of the 1930's. I think that shows that we unfortunately can impact the climate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that shows that we unfortunately can impact the climate. Not a great example. Effected only part of one continent not the whole planet and certainly not the "climate" of the planet. Better example might be Krakatoa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakatoa but, unfortunately that didn't have anything to do with people other than the ones it killed. I do remember in the '70's people talking about 'Global Cooling' and how it was going to kill us all. Now it's 'Global Warming' which hasn't happened on schedule. So they have changed the name to 'Climate Change'.Apparently to cover their embarrassment that we all aren't treading water or dead yet. Somehow, I'm thinking the planet will do whatever it wants to and we don't have a lot to say about it.The 'Climate' has been changing since the planet began. Thousands/Millions of years when it wasn't habitable at all.Taking a narrow slice of time to make claims about it seems a little presumptuous on our part. We aren't nearly as powerful as we think we are. Interesting article: Scientists and others on a team assembled by the Chicago-based Heartland Institute, which focuses on free-market solutions to today’s problems, say the “scare” of global warming from the use of carbon fuels and other human activities “is over.” It’s “past time” for the world to realize that and “stop the madness of wasting great sums of money on EPA’s imaginary threat,” contends Kenneth Haapala, the executive vice president of the Science and Environmental Policy Project at the Heartland Institute. Institute experts said Thursday the Remote Sensing Systems, which provide data to NASA, NOAA and the National Science Foundation, have confirmed “the global mean surface temperature has not risen for 18 consecutive years.”Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2014/10/global-warming-scare-declared-over/#PwsettvFkxCgcScx.99 Don't think I've ever seen an article that had both sides of everything out there. But, here is one part of the whole debunking thingie. Edited October 13, 2014 by Strictly Street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Something that isn't well known, is that a big chunk of the temperature increase was simply a change in the way ocean temperatures are monitored. Instead of getting reports from ships and leaving it at that with blank spots, they started averaging in the blank spots. Suddenly the temperatures went up. Apparently it wasn't good math. Not much has happened since then for temperature changes, after what looked like a big jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmh_sprint Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Due to the polar vortex and extreme ice cover last year all of the Great Lakes are colder than their long term averages with Superior being 6+ degrees colder than the long term average. Scientists are hoping that the weather in the Great Lakes region is warmer than normal for the next month to keep the lakes from cooling too quickly. If they cool too quickly the lake effect snow machine gets turned off and could negate the record water level rebound the lakes had this year. Lake Superior has risen over 18" since April.
