Indeed, Adelaide had a major climate change when the bureau of meteorology observatory was shifted! The rainfall changed and the mean temperatures all changed too! And that was one of the world's longest-running meteorological observatories at the time. One wonders how many others have manifested such a locational/climatic change! Simply, there is not a long enough timeline with sufficient detailed data though to decide whether we are indeed giving (your analogy) that ball a shove. Staying with your analogy, I would suggest that the ball would descend due to gravity, even if we shoved it in the opposite direction. And that is what I suspect is happening: the anthropogenic component is not the "trigger" "last straw" or any of the other fear-laden labels. And, I have to say, working in sandridge deserts that have changed their orientation two or three times in the past 25,000 years in cold, arid episodes (and possibly as recent as 5000 years), I'd much prefer we go warmer than colder. Read somewhere that the (calculated) mass balance of Antarctica is positive. PDW Heh heh http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=1771124 Quick! get more greenhouse gases up there before we all turn into a cold arid desert and the glaciers eat Michigan! The glaciers can have Michigan.... |
