Even the Pope sides with Futurecurrents

temperature and co2 wise... we are likely to start going back up if we are going to follow natural events. Our co2 levels got so low we almost choked off most vegetation.

With our rising populations needing to be fed... rising co2 may be just in the nick of time.

Antarctica at Risk of Runaway Melting, Scientists Discover

"The world’s greatest reservoir of ice is verging on a breakdown that could push seas to heights not experienced since prehistoric times, drowning dense coastal neighborhoods during the decades ahead, new computer models have shown.

A pair of researchers developed the models to help them understand high sea levels during previous eras of warmer temperatures. Then they ran simulations using those models and found that rising levels of greenhouse gases could trigger runaway Antarctic melting that alone could push sea levels up by more than three feet by century’s end.

The same models showed that Antarctica’s ice sheet would remain largely intact if the most ambitious goals of last year’s Paris agreement on climate change are achieved.

The new findings were published Wednesday in the journal Nature, helping to fill yawning gaps in earlier projections of sea level rise.

The models were produced by a collaboration between two scientists that began in the 1990s. In those models, rising air temperatures in Antarctica caused meltwater to seep into cracks in floating shelves of ice, disintegrating them and exposing sheer cliffs that collapsed under their own weight into the Southern Ocean.

Similar effects of warming are already being observed in Greenland and in some parts of Antarctica, as greenhouse gas pollution from fossil fuels, farming and deforestation warms the air. Last year was the hottest on record, easily surpassing a record set one year earlier. The ice sheets are also being melted from beneath by warming ocean temperatures.

“Sea level has risen a lot — 10 to 20 meters — in warm periods in the past, and our ice sheet models couldn’t make the Antarctic ice sheet retreat enough to explain that,” said David Pollard, a Penn State climate scientist who produced Wednesday’s study with UMass professor Robert DeConto.

“We were looking for new mechanisms that could make the ice more vulnerable to climate warming to explain past sea level rise,” Pollard said...."

sunny and warm as I type... here in San Diego, that is why the left can tax the heck out of us. I left, but I had to come back.

I went to bootcamp there, awesome place. Too crowded tho.

its has gotten too crowded. I was in Del Mar and Carlsbad on business this morning. traffic in every direction. Not as bad as L.A. but not like San Diego 20 years ago.

The prediction of MORE hurricanes was never made.

Do you ever tire of being so wrong?
This statement is so dumb and so wrong.

In my naive-climate-hobbyist-scientist mind, due to HFGW I would either expect either:

• same numbers but stronger hurricanes/typhoons
• more of them, stronger or not

I believe that one is unequivocally true since we recorded history, but not sure two is true.

AGW --> Global Warming --> Climate Change --> Human Forced Global Warming

The terminology keeps changing to drive the political fantasy that has no backing in scientific facts.

Drought, floods, stronger more numerous hurricanes and tornadoes will become worse and more common.

The prediction of MORE hurricanes was never made.

Looks to me like an increase in hurricanes since the seventies when GW really started taking off.

In addition to bigger precip events there are also more high intensity hurricanes.

The strong hurricanes ARE becoming more numerous.

So hurricanes are getting stronger. But not more numerous.

Warmer sea surface temperatures will result in more and stronger tropical storms (hurricanes and typhoons). Coastlines already ravaged by these storms will expect to see more strong storms than before, increasing the loss of life and damage to infrastructure.

The prediction of MORE hurricanes was never made.

Blahahahahahahaha..........(trying to breathe)...........hahahahahahahhaha

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It is amazing how often Futurecurrents attempts to re-write history and is exposed as a fraud from his own posts.

Try reading comprehension. STRONG hurricanes are becoming more numerous, not ALL hurricanes. You see, STRONG hurricanes are a subset and not equivalent to ALL hurricanes.

AFAIK There was never a prediction for MORE hurricanes. But perhaps you can find something from a reputable climate scientist saying so. If I said otherwise I misspoke and meant more STRONG hurricanes.

In fact, some said there may be fewer tornadoes and hurricanes due to the fact that the Arctic is not as cold thus the temp delta is less between there and the tropics thus reducing their formation.


It is unclear whether global warming is increasing hurricane frequency but there is increasing evidence that warming increases hurricane
intensity.

However this guy says that there will be more.

A new study by Kerry Emanuel, a prominent hurricane researcher at MIT, found that contrary to previous findings, tropical cyclones are likely to become both stronger and more frequent in the years to come, especially in the western North Pacific, where storms can devastate the heavily populated coastlines of Asian nations. Emanuel's research showed the same holds true for the North Atlantic, where about 12 percent of the world's tropical cyclones spin each year.
