Climate change again

[UnconTROLLed]

Stuff happens. Look how much ice was over Chicago and Boston.

that's a nice picture, pretty colors and city detail? doesn't have any value with the topic at hand. Lol

It's funny;

Most people have no clue, as to the history of the Earth.


To think that industrialization and burning fossil fuels is going to change the

temperature of the earth (for the last 100 years) is mind numbing.

And the average person.... has no clue.... what ended the last ice age.

You look at North America and it is amazing how the earth was so cold a big part of it was buried under ice. In terms of how old the earth is, this was a very short time ago. .

Above: County-by-county temperature rankings for the contiguous U.S. for the period November 2019 through January 2020. Out of the 3134 counties and county equivalents (such as parishs) in the Lower 48 states, not a single one had a temperature significantly below the 20th-century average for the three-month period. The vast majority of counties came in well above average. (NOAA/NCEI)

What's causing the poles to warm faster than the rest of Earth?
Luckily, scientists continue to investigate why Global Warming is occurring.
Research aimed at answering that question has been done before, but a recent study by Patrick Taylor, a scientist at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., suggests a new reason.
Taylor's research shows that the seasonality of the polar warming is largely a result of energy in the atmosphere that is being transported to the poles through large weather systems.
Temperate Zones are not affected as much as the Polar Zones.
This is a pattern that has also been documented from drilled ice samples and drilled earth samples.
As well, decades of NASA scientific research show the Earth is warming. According to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in Manhattan, the Earth has warmed about 1.44 degrees Fahrenheit during the last 40 years.
But the poles are warming even faster; the Arctic has warmed by more than 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit during the same time period.

"It was previously thought that amplified polar warming was caused by melting ice, lowering surface albedo," Taylor said.
Albedo is the amount of sun’s energy that is reflected off the Earth’s surface and back into space, rather than absorbed. The more reflective the surface – such as ice – the more energy is reflected and the cooler the temperature. When ice melts, less energy is reflected and temperature increases.
"Surface albedo at the poles, however, is lowest in the summer, which is when we see the weakest temperature response. More recent research suggests that other atmospheric processes are at work," Taylor said.

Climate Change is a racket.

Climate Change is a racket.

All scientific debate aside, people are definitely trying to use it as a means of economic and political control.

Climate Change is a racket.

Unfortunately it is real, so it will continue to be a racket

I would say the flux of fresh water into oceans from polar regions is still one of the issues, and it has been demonstrated. reduced salinity in ocean circulations; fresh water is lighter- more salinity is more weight and does not "chimney" readily. So warm water fluxes from mid-latitudes mixes with cold fresh water fluxes, leading to less mass conservation and more or less, breakdown in thermohaline circulation as it was

I agree with all that but the interruption of thermohaline circulation normally results in regional climate disruptions with
no increase in temperature and in fact, the opposite.

Shutdown of circulation pattern could be disastrous, researchers say
Paleoclimate records constructed from Greenland ice cores have revealed that the thermohaline circulation has, indeed, shut down in the past and caused regional climate change. As the vast ice sheet that covered much of North America during the last ice age finally receded, the meltwater flowed out the St. Lawrence and into the North Atlantic.
“The additional fresh water made the ocean surface less dense and it stopped sinking, effectively shutting down the thermohaline circulation,” Schlesinger said. “As a result, Greenland cooled by about 7 degrees Celsius within several decades. When the meltwater stopped, the circulation pattern restarted, and Greenland warmed.”

Yeah, though that does not necessarily mean local or regional influence only.
