Ghostsof1915 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 That's ok...when we're under 10 meters of water the frenzy of lack of losing so much land near water, the over stressed supply of our food supplies, and the depletion of food resources. That should wipe out 90% of our population through food riots, civil collapse, and the massive loss of our population should solve the problem quite nicely. Provided you're the survivors. We're on a path to self-destruction and no one seems to care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMonk Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 It's because of the differences between the sizes of the ozone holes in each location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Gee....I wonder what caused the melting back in 1889? Also, why is NASA calling it "global warming" again? Speaking of which, it was only 10 degrees riding in this morning out here in Calgary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucklehead Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Pretty crazy stuff, isn't going to make me drive a hybrid though, its just climate change and it'll go back to normal one day again, nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 The primary reason for the asymmetry between the poles is mainly due ice-albedo feedback. The idea is that in the Arctics it is generally warmer, and a large portion of the ice melts each year during the northern summer. During the melt, the dark ocean underneath is exposed to the sun and absorbs a lot more energy than ice would. As the earth gets warmer, more ocean stays ice free, and even more energy is absorbed, thus amplifying the warming. In contrast the Antarctic is covered by ice year round (due to the fact that it is much colder there to start with), so there is no such amplification due the increase in heat absorption during the southern summers.

Gurn Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 As the ice melts it will most likely dilute the amount of salinity in the world's oceans.This will mean oil tankers and frieghters will be unable to carry as much product due to reduced bouyancy. Get ready for higher prices for goods transported by water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronthecivil Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 It's probably especially warm in Greenland this year due to La Nina. If they are surprised clearly their models aren't working right or are not keeping track of all the variables. Either way this article makes it seem like the whole thing is melting away. The top layer is melting a bit but will freeze up again soon. The edges are melting a bit faster than normal. It's not the end of the world.

Heretic Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 There's so much that you still don't seem to 'get'. 1) No one is saying that natural cycles of melting and freezing don't occur. The problem and issue here, is that the man-made greenhouse effect, is unnaturally speeding those cycles up. It's not a problem for the earth, as much as it's a problem for the life that currently lives on it. 2) Global Warming is used because it's a part of 'Climate Change'. There are area of the globe that are experiencing rapid rates of warming. Other areas are seeing unexpected and unseasonable rates of cooling......both, being byproducts of overall Climate Change. 3) Many areas will see unseasonable or irregular weather(small areas over a short period of time), as a result of climate change.
