Global warming to melt all ice in Arctic Ocean every summer: study
LOS ANGELES, April 17 (Xinhua) — Global warming will melt all the ice in the Arctic Ocean every summer, raising earth temperatures even further, researchers at the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) warned.
The findings, available online Sunday in the April issue of Earth and Planetary Science Letters, a leading journal in geoscience, were based on analysis of the fossilized remains of four-million-year-old mollusks, they said.
The Death Spiral of Arctic and Gleenland Ice should begin any day. Shortly after that, snow will become somthing of the past.
Yes Andy, just look at what happened to all those molluscs. They’re all dead. They didn’t listen to the warnings. Its something we can all learn from. It is no accident that they are fossils, and we’re all gonna die because of fossil fuels.
Well, it is a well known fact that dead molluscs don’t lie, so if that’s what it told them I guess the debate is over.
But, according to the dead mollusc, what drove the climate to do that? Was it their fault? Were they hot little clams?
I wish they’d cut this melted arctic ice raises temperature stuff.
The drop in albedo means a little more energy is absorbed from a very oblique point source which has to travel through a lot of atmosphere.
It also means that the whole surface is re-radiating energy straight up.
Thus a drop in albedo will cause the arctic to be dumping a lot of heat back to space, and could only happen if the heat required arrived in ocean currents.
You should put the name of the researcher next to the headline so that it will be easy for reporters doing follow-up stories. (Of course, I am assuming they do follow-up stories!)
