  1. 2 years in a row with a brick wall ending. We might not go below 5 km2 on Jaxa. 50/50 on that one.
  2. Are we going to have a "Guess the minimum" thread/Poll? I doubt we go below 4.25 on JAXA.
  3. I haven't paid much attention to the ice this year, but I do follow a Bloomsky weather station in the Barrow area and was surprised how cold it was this deep into met summer. Now this makes sense.
  4. Seems that the moment you moved to Ohio, LES has been way down and warmth way up.
  5. Something happened to him in his life I believe. He checked in and said he didn't have time for this anymore.
  6. There was an article on this recently... How distorted maps are versus reality. The arctic is in a world of sh-t right now, but the global anomaly is still sitting around +0.5C above the 30 year moving average. That Russia cold is insane. We need that cold on top of the planet.
  7. I wonder how much warmth is being released from lower in the water column.
  8. The arctic had almost no issues until the mid to late 1990's.
  9. The jaxa sea ice data doesn't show ice there, what's the conspiracy?
  10. I thought sub 4.0 was a lock on jaxa. The arctic pulled a Tayshaun Prince block right at the end of the melt season.
  11. Possibly the worst possible winter pattern.... Didn't it stay pretty much crap right up until May?
  12. The least dangerous and most logical solution is to sequester while drawing down co2 output levels. Carbon based fuels have led to the modern world, don't expect a quick solution to energy needs. We need a combo of all 3. Reduce co2, sequester existing co2 and reverse warming in the short term with geoengineering.
  13. If we lose the icepack, I think the idea will be taken more serious. There are a number of negatives, one would be the ozone depletion and the second would be the possibility of acid rain. The fact that most industrialized nations (minus China) are reducing So2, this might be leading to more warming. Does stratosphere SO2 end up as acid rain or is that more related to surface release?
  14. It needs to be looked at seriously. Right now, we barely hear anyone talking about it. I think environmentalists think it's a get of of jail free card and deniers poo-poo it, because that would mean admitted there is an issue.
  15. Injecting aerosols into the stratosphere has already been tested, every time a volcano erupts. If we could knock current temps back to the 1980's levels, we could buy time and rebuild some of the icepack.
  16. Looks bad.... My 4+ prediction, should bust. Amazing how little we hear about geoengineering or sequestration. I have to wait years for anything interesting to come across the news. I bet it could all melt out tomorrow and not another nickel would go into either of these ventures.
  17. I love it... Gonna give me another shot at snowmobiling this week due to blocking.
  18. What made you choose Lakewood? I thought all snow weenies live on the NE side of town.
  19. You could heat the globe up 20F and humans aren't going anywhere. We have people living in every climate type on earth and we are really only meant for tropics. Go outside without clothes at 40 - 45F and you will be dead by morning. That's not adaption.
