Santa selling his sled. Will need a boat by 2012.
Seems as though you and some of those at NASA forgot about this other recent
NASA report- http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/loo...-20071113.html Lets also remember that the world has cooled since 1998. If we are to believe the global warming theorists, the Earth is already in a positive feedback loop which would cause a steady increase in the average global temperature- and this is not happening. |

Good grief. What will happen to that well known exotic dancing troupe called "The Polar Bares" ?? |

If we are to believe the global warming theorists, the Earth is already in a positive feedback loop which would cause a steady increase in the average global temperature- and this is not happening. Bill, Please read the very first paragraph of your link: **** PASADENA, Calif. - A team of NASA and university scientists has detected an ongoing reversal in Arctic Ocean circulation triggered by atmospheric circulation changes that vary on decade-long time scales. The results suggest not all the large changes seen in Arctic climate in recent years are a result of long-term trends associated with global warming. ******* Consider what that says. Nowhere does it say that there aren't large changes being observed in the Arctic climate, only that the results "suggest not all the large changes....are a result of long-term trends associated with global warming." You link *confirms* that there are large changes occuring in the Arctic climate. (Which is consistent with the NASA photographic evidence). Your link *acknowledges* the existence of global warming, merely denies that "all" of the large changes in Arctic climate can be associated with the phenomenon. It also accepts the concept of global warming as a "long term trend". Next? |

Algore didn't invent global warming- Margaret Thatcher did. Snowpack in peril By Betsy Mason STAFF WRITER Article Launched: 12/12/2007 03:00:48 AM PST Click photo to enlargeA lone skier travels past one of three snow making machines spraying a new layer onto ski runs at...12Dwindling snowpack, earlier stream flow and rising temperatures in the western United States can be attributed directly to human activity and will seriously affect California's water supply, perhaps in a matter of decades, according to new research. For the first time, scientists have linked several specific trends in a regional water cycle to global climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Since 1950, the Sierra snowpack has decreased by about 20 percent, the temperature in the Rocky Mountains has gone up 3 degrees, and spring water flow in the Columbia River has decreased significantly. "These signals are the same no matter where you go in the West," marine physicist Tim Barnett of Scripps Institution of Oceanography said Tuesday at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco. "We've got a real serious problem." By scaling down global climate models to bring greater detail of the region, a team of scientists led by Barnett and atmospheric scientist Ben Santer of Lawrence Livermore Laboratory projected these trends into the future and found a grim picture for the west. By about 2040, the Colorado Rockies will be nearly barren of snow as early as April 1 each year. And a similar story will play out in the Sierra. As temperature rises, the snowpack will disappear earlier, leading to a shift in peak stream flows to earlier in the year. This could be a significant problem for California, where the water supply already is -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advertisement -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- performing a precarious balancing act. The state's reservoirs are filled during the rainy winter season, and as they are drawn down in the spring, melting snow from the Sierra Nevada replenishes them. "Mother Nature is acting like a tremendous reservoir for us," Barnett said. His research shows that that reservoir will shrink in the future and, more problematically, will melt too early in the season. This will not only leave California without much of its critical spring refill, it also will put reservoirs at a greater risk of flooding as mel****er arrives before the reservoir levels have gone down enough to accommodate it. "It's the timing that's the problem," he said. The team tested the accuracy of their climate models against past trends, and it was able to closely match actual changes in snowpack, stream flow and temperature. Team members then used the models to find the cause of the changes and found a distinct human fingerprint. Without adding past human greenhouse gas emissions into the equation, they could not get the models to reflect reality. "No matter what we did, we couldn't really shake this robust conclusion that a human influence on these three variables was identifiable," Santer said. "No matter how we cut the cake, no matter how hard we tried to look at the uncertainties and quantify them, we could not get a 'no' result, no detection of a fingerprint." Santer worries that much of California's water supply infrastructure was built when climate was relatively stable. "It's not stable any more," he said. Barnett is frustrated by the lack of preparation for the changes that are coming and by the federal government's inaction. "Global warming is already impacting us. We're getting hit now. The question is how big will the hit be in the future," he said. Adaptation will be important because the greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere will continue to heat up the globe for several decades. Meanwhile, global emissions continue to rise. "For someone who's got seven grandkids, that scares the hell out of me," Barnett said. "I've had a look at the future, and I don't like it." |

Here is a quote from Reid Bryson, Emeritus Professor and founding chairman of the University of Wisconsin Department of Meteorology (now the Department of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences) "Well let me give you one fact first. In the first 30 feet of the atmosphere, on the average, outward radiation from the Earth, which is what CO2 is supposed to affect, how much [of the reflected energy] is absorbed by water vapor? In the first 30 feet, 80 percent, okay? ...: And how much is absorbed by carbon dioxide? Eight hundredths of one percent. One one-thousandth as important as water vapor. You can go outside and spit and have the same effect as doubling carbon dioxide." http://xtronics.com/reference/globalwarming.htm If you 're not too close minded you may find the above interesting reading. |
