UN : Earth Is Near Death

When I was riding my bike in to the office this morning, I was noticing that everything is just like it always is in late October. The leaves are falling off the trees, the weather is cool and wet, the feel of winter just around the corner. The mountains looked just like they always do, as did the prairies.

Needless to say, I was shocked to discover at lunch that the planet had fallen ill and was close to death. I haven’t been outside for a few hours.

Is the planet really dead? Are the Polar Bears and Walruses gone? Did the ice melt? Am I in for a nasty surprise later this afternoon? Say it isn’t so.

Why Has The Ice Been Melting?

We have lots of new readers. This is a quick rehash.

Satellites which monitor Arctic ice (and earth’s temperature) came on line right after the PDO shift of 1977. Their period of record is coincident with a period of time dominated by positive ENSO.

NASA Thermostat Paper – Part 3

I’ve already discussed the fact that the NASA press release was misleading, and that it has no empirical support. Here I discuss the problems with the modeling effort and their conclusions.

The first problem is that climate models are not designed to function properly in conditions far removed from current earth conditions. They use thousands of empirically derived parameters, and by reducing CO2 to zero they probably made the output of the model even more meaningless than the usual output.

Ice Free Arctic : 23 Percent Gain Since 2007

Areas of green indicate more ice than 2007. Areas of red mean less ice than 2007.

The ice free Arctic has gained 22,767 Manhattans of ice since the same date in 2007, and 38,156 Manhattans since the minimum one month ago. A new Manhattan of ice has been forming every 68 seconds since September 19. Daily ice extent has averaged 338,043 km² (5,729 Manhattans) higher in 2010 than 2007.

There are currently 119,743 Manhattans of ice in John Holdren’s ice free Arctic.
