Warm Arctic Is Simply Part Of Natural Cycle

Warm Arctic Is Simply Part Of Natural Cycle

By Paul Homewood The most iconic symbol of the global warming scare is the “melting Arctic”. But is the Arctic any warmer than back in the 1930’s and 40’s? Certainly not in places like Akuryri, in Iceland, as GISS show. http://data.giss.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/gistemp/show_station.cgi?id=620040630003&dt=1&ds=1 To get a fuller picture, I have calculated 30 year average temperatures at four stations, using GISS temperature data starting in 1900 (except Jan Mayen, which begins in 1921): Akureyri – Iceland Godthab Nuuk – Greenland Jan Mayen – Norway Archangel – Russia All stations are affected by Atlantic influences. I have worked out anomalies for each station, using a baseline of 1981-2010. The results are shown below. In all cases there is a concerted rise in temperatures from the start of the record, peaking in the 1950’s. This is followed by a steep decline. Temperatures are now back to, or still below in Nuuk and Akureyri’s case, earlier levels. Atlantic influences, and in particular the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, not only affect areas fringing the ocean itself, but much further east to Siberia. For instance, Ostrov Dikson shows a similar cyclical pattern: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/gistemp/show_station.cgi?id=222206740006&dt=1&ds=1 The effect that the AMO, shown below, has on Arctic temperatures is unmistakeable. http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/cgi-bin/gcos_wgsp/tsanalysis.pl?tstype1=91&tstype2=0&year1=1895&year2=&itypea=0&axistype=0&anom=0&plotstyle=0&climo1=&climo2=&y1=&y2=&y21=&y22=&length=&lag=&iall=0&iseas=1&mon1=0&mon2=11&Submit=Calculate+Results Based on previous cycles, the AMO maybe has another ten years before it starts its probably rapid decline. When that happens, temperatures across the Eastern Arctic will plummet. Sources Temperature data is from the GISS unadjusted dataset http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/station_data_v2/

Surprising findings in Greenland’s melt dynamics – glaciers retreated rapidly between 1900 and 1930

From #AGU14 Surprising findings in Greenland’s melt dynamics – glaciers retreated rapidly between 1900 and 1930

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/12/16/from-agu14-surprising-findings-in-greenlands-melt-dynamics-glaciers-retreated-rapidly-between-1900-and-1930

I’m at AGU 2014, thanks to the generous assistance of readers. This is one of the presentations yesterday that caught my eye. One other thing I did notice was that in the poster sessions (which have doubled in size this year) have a lot to say about carbon soot in the Arctic and Southern Greenland […]

Only three days left to save The Earth – Aussie Scientist’s 2009 Climate Tipping Point Deadline Comes Due!

Via: http://joannenova.com.au/2014/12/only-three-days-left-to-save-the-earth/

Prof Penny Sackett, – Herald Sun December 04, 2009

We’ve got 5 years to save world says Australia’s chief scientist Professor Penny Sackett

THE planet has just five years to avoid disastrous global warming, says the Federal Government’s chief scientist. 
Prof Penny Sackett yesterday urged all Australians to reduce their carbon footprint.

The professor said even if all the world stopped producing carbon dioxide immediately, temperature increases of 1.3C were unavoidable.

Asked to explain data that showed the earth had been cooling in recent years, the trained astrophysicist acknowledged air temperatures had leveled during the La Nina weather pattern, now nearing an end.”

Disastrous Global Warming will be locked in by Thursday I would say. Start packing the bunker.

Penny Sackett was the director of the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics (a part of ANU) for five years. From  2008 – 2011 she was appointed Chief Scientist of Australia. She was there in June 2009 with Will Steffen and Minister Penny Wong, when Steve Fielding brought skeptics Evans, Carter, Franks and Kininmonth to Parliament.

Forty Years Ago, The Polar Vortex Was Caused By Global Cooling

Forty Years Ago, The Polar Vortex Was Caused By Global Cooling

http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/forty-years-ago-the-polar-vortex-was-caused-by-global-cooling

Experts say the polar vortex is caused by global warming and disappearing ice, but forty years ago they said it was caused by global cooling and expanding ice. Scientists have found other indications of global cooling. For one thing there has been a noticeable expansion of the great belt of dry, high-altitude polar winds —the so-called circumpolar […]
