Real Climate Science

That explains why GISS shows winter temperatures plummeting over the past decade.

Talk about an epic scandal.

After telling us for years that Arctic ice loss is a positive feedback, climate scientists now claim it to be a negative feedback.

Counter-intuitive but true, say scientists: a string of freezing European winters scattered over the last decade has been driven in large part by global warming.
The culprit, according to a new study, is the Arctic’s receding surface ice, which at current rates of decline could to disappear entirely during summer months by century’s end.

The mechanism uncovered triples the chances that future winters in Europe and north Asia will be similarly inclement, the study reports.

Bitingly cold weather wreaked havoc across Europe in the winter months of 2005-2006, dumping snow in southern Spain and plunging eastern Europe and Russia into an unusually — and deadly — deep freeze.

Another sustained cold streak in 2009-2010, gave Britain its coldest winter in 14 years, and wreaked transportation havoc across the continent. This year seems poised to deliver a repeat performance.

Would cutting off funding to charlatans be considered a negative feedback?

The claim of 2010 as a “hot” year is based on a region of above normal temperatures in nearly uninhabited Northeast Canada and Western Greenland. This was caused by the record low Arctic Oscillation, which made the inhabited areas of the Northern Hemisphere very cold.

Is minus 20C hot?
