Being a climate scientist at NASA seems to involve having your frontal lobes removed.
Suppose their theory were correct. If the temperatures dropped, then Arctic ice increases and the driver of this scenario reverses. The idea of negative feedbacks seems to be beyond their comprehension.

I saw that movie too !
It all happened in like an hour !
Ok, I know I am not supposed to do this .. but here goes .. I TOLD YOU SO! … I predicted this very thing some time back ago. Put on your seatbelts and grab some more popcorn because here we go. The next big alarm is going to be, CO2 is now going to cause an ice-age, so now we MUST quit driving cars, flying planes, breathing, etc… in order to save our planet (again).
I’m telling ya, in 5-10 more years, this WILL be the narrative, and the solution will be EXACTLY the same as if we were to burn up. This was soooo incredibly predictable. ROFLMFAO….

Is there anything co2 can’t do. 😉
CO2, phone home…
the three faces of Eve had nothing on CAGG
“Is there anything co2 can’t do” – NO, NOTHING – warming, cooling, warming and cooling at the SAME time, in the same place; rain, drought, rain and drought at the same time in the same place…. Anything a worshiper in the Church of The empty Gesture (aka, the Church of AGW) says it can do.

“OK everybody please submit your entries into the “Suggestion Box” for immediate publication”
CYA is right on Gator69.
“Being a climate scientist at NASA seems…The idea of negative feedbacks seems to be beyond their comprehension.”
And also the idea of climate timescale having nothing to do with human lifespan.
With an appreciation of both of these a better perspective on climate, it’s history, and it’s likely future comes into view.
Between this phenomenon and Chinese soot no wonder I’m freezing. Global warming will cause an epidemic of hypothermia.
Given the low levels of solar radiation in the Arctic and the low temperatures even during the summer isn’t the total amount of extra evaporation from ice free Arctic oceans in summer – if that occurs – likely to pale into insignificance compared to the permanent rate of evaporation occuring over the huge expanse of permanently open ocean that is the tropics and sub tropics where the sun’s radiation is several times more powerful and the temperatures always warm ??
Especially the southern tropical and sub tropical ocean where summer occurs at perihelion and the land mass is the minimum.
Rosco you hit the nail on the head. All the early climate models assumed that
1. CO2 warming would increase evaporation leading to
2. More water vapor which is the most potent greenhouse gas leading to
3. Even more warming — a positive feedback.
Instead, atmospheric water vapor has actually declined slightly even though the last decade was supposedly the hottest in the Holocene.

When the climate
astrologersscientists can explain this, we might see some climate models that resemble reality.The phrase “gaining credibility with climate scientists” is a paradox. How can people who have no credibility imbue the same to anything? One may as well say “gaining credibility with alchemists”, although ‘climate scientists’ have gone alchemy one better by turning the lead of non-conforming empirical data into real-world gold.
