Keep in mind the below normal shades are relative to 1880 values. I don't even...

WTF

It's already happening and we still have this. The albedo got wrecked so hard by soot and melt.

Hello Paul...

Don't shoot the messenger.

Tired of the trolls. You won't be missed. The bolded portion is total BS. Enjoy the 300k drop on JAXA, http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/overlay=temp/orthographic=-66.59,91.48,1216 Let me tell you about that ice retention.

I lold.

All that fuss over a few posts in the banter thread. I am leading edge, people should be citing my work not the other way around. When does AGW "progress" to the point of "significantly diminishing" cold outbreaks over every region? ...or.......More BS? Remember, the Arctic was covered by deciduous forests in the early Pliocene. It's really common sense guys, keep burning away and you will inevitably have to deal with ever more extreme scenarios. They seem outlandish now but they are really just lurking around the corner in a geological/paleo sense.

We are just at that weird juncture where tipping points happen. Usually in stable hothouse Earth states the diurnal minimum is very small. The fluctuations we see are more like tri-monthly variations in jet stream orientations rather than biweekly extremes. AGW has not yet progressed to the point where it can significantly diminish cold outbreaks over every region in a given year. I think AGW has recently became a major influence, especially since 2010. The contribution from AGW is at least 35% on current weather variability.

You don't need to give up capital to address climate change. What you do is kick out the lobbyists in Washington DC and send the carbon tax directly into people's income tax returns every year.

Take a look at the conus visible. It's full of smoke, the most i've ever seen. Extreme events won't stop after the strong el nino is gone.

My predictions will take decades to completely come to fruition. Not sure where you got the idea that it would happen overnight. The whole point of alarmism is not to wait until the last minute because then it is too late and sh** starts blending in towards the end game such that no normal can be established and people just brush aside extreme events. We're probably already there. http://art-sheep.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Edvard-Munch-927566.jpg 10 years is an eternity when we speak about the ongoing geological scale changes in CO2 concentrations almost overnight and related feedbacks. BTW. The records in Alaska were crushed by landslides. Some daily highs deep into the 100s, and those were broken by 6-9 degrees. AGW at work for sure. You can try to put a spin on it but it doesn't change facts. Saying that it's just a monster ridge that comes around every 30 years is just as bad as attributing 100% to AGW.

Ask Student of Climatology. He will tell you all about the expanding hadley cells. Things will change, it's only a question of when, which is where the debate resides. Anyone who disagrees with this sentiment is a climate denier.

I have lived through it. You still haven't responded to the real life events that are now occuring. Apparently Liverpool, NY is some magical place where AGW doesn't happen.

No chance at all? Why? When do people expect AGW to kick into high gear? To reach the IPCC scenarios, effects will have to ramp up this decade. By the way, they already have ramped up unless you are living in a cave. What about the Alaskan wildfires covering 50% of the state? and the newly forming west coast Sahara Desert? Why are the sub-tropcial deserts expanding globally? This is what happened during the Pliocene. We aren't living in 2004 anymore. SLR is starting to accelerate. You (as an individual) live to seek out the most pleasurable outcome regardless if it's backed by science. It's simple logic. Once you go into Pliocene mode, an ice free Arctic is not far away. Your ability to think holistically has been destroyed by socialization. You will be that guy who blames everything on ozone depletion.

Keep telling yourself that. The el nino heat engine coming online will push us ever closer to the Pliocene Earth. You don't understand system hysteresis and you should go back to school. The Eemian period already has colder tropics than now and this aspect will help push us ahead into new global regimes on longer timescales. One has to account for temporal lag in the system. The overall thermal budget is rapidly growing in the oceans worldwide.

You are a tool.

The models are perfectly aligned between the two camps right now. Getting concerned about Greenland.
