guys the amount of sea ice in the arctic this year was above 2012 levels global warming is disproved everyone go home

Well if the human race dont get killed by:
Wars
Asteroids
Sun exploding (supernova...)
Gamma ray bursts etc.

Then our death's will be because the stupid global warming :/ humans can reduce the amount of CO2 being added to our atmosphere. But we cant stop it. like volcanoes... Natural events etc.
One day humans will die, guaranteed.

By the time the sun explodes we'll have the tech to travel to other galaxies.

And humans can't reduce CO₂ levels with current technology. We can farm trees to do so, though.

We won't die if we do nothing and increase our fossil fuel emissions, but we'll cause a mass extinction nearly as bad as the Cretaceous-Tertiary one.

Nope... human caused global warming is real and the long term trend is that the sea ice is shrinking:

Yes kol I know it's very variable year to year.

See: 1980, 1982, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2013

i don't know about you, but for me this data is highly distressing (that is the five largest monthly anomalies)

foe or poe?
that's the real question here.

I believe that it's the greenhouse effect that is causing it.

ditto man, it's gotta be those greenhouses. i don't believe in blue house or red house gas. it's got to be those green ones. here's some evidence

it's not as bad as this shows though (now anyway, the trend would be for around 2020):

It uses the same data with one extra data point added. The trends aren't different because of the data point but because the fits are different. I don't know any arguments for which mathematical function the ice should generally follow though or see any details on the goodness of the fits on the graphs, so I'm not going to argue which fit is best or if it might be gone in 2018 or 2022, I don't know that, I think the interesting thing to note is how fast the ice is disappearing in general and how few years there are left until it might disappear entirely in the summer and the general overall trend, save the details.

Darvince · « **Reply #222 on:** May 02, 2016, 06:35:47 PM »

two extra points (2014, 2015)

but anyway the graph in your post showed a timeframe of 2015 to 2019 whereas mine with 2014 and 2015 added (which weren't new record lows) bumps it back a bit to 2017 to 2023. i'm not trying to start an argument, i still find it alarming how much sooner these predictions are than the main climatologist consensus, but it's not horrifyingly fast, only alarmingly fast

IMO this topic needs renamed because there is no debate, if anyone who thinks otherwise wants I'll definitely write up a 10k character post outlining its possible causes and debunking all of the ones that don't fit with the modern scientific consensus (studies have shown that between 97 and 100% of climate scientists which have published papers about global warming believe it to be real, and human-caused).

well, 'what's your point of view' doesn't nessessarily mean debating if it's happening or if it's not, it could mean debating how it could be dealt with, the main cause of it, what the common person should do to help stop it, if it can be stopped, etc.

oh yeah that bit of ice near wrangel island? the front since then has not even moved (the front should be out in the bering sea right now)

Darvince · « **Reply #236 on:** December 27, 2016, 05:21:24 AM »

Based on statistics provided in this post: http://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/index.php/topic,1120.msg43572.html#msg43572
And simple algebra done to the provided statistics: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=6741.75*x%3D1792659

At a linear rate of decline (extremely unlikely), the Greenland ice sheet would be no more in 2278.

seems legit

speaking of weather not being climate but being part of the climate, the march 2012 heatwave over eastern North America was so vastly unlikely without a global warming signal that it basically proved the existence of global warming

Whether we're actually causing climate change or not, is it possible that the ultimate result of it will actually be beneficial to us?

The obvious issue that people are concerned about are the poles melting and sea levels rising. However, unlike other fluids, water expands when frozen due to the way it forms the crystalline structures of ice. As it melts, it takes up less area than it did when frozen. Does this mean that the flooding wouldn't be as bad as people think?

More moisture in the air also means more severe weather, but it also means more water getting to land. Will arid areas become less arid as a result?

With higher levels of CO2, our atmosphere becomes thicker, which means the average temperature will rise. However, does it also mean the temperature will become more constant across the Earth? The Earth's average temperature is about 16 degrees Celsius, so if global temperatures rise but become more constant regardless of location on Earth, will the end result be that the global climate equalizes and ends up more habitable than before?

A thicker atmosphere also means more for the plants to turn into oxygen, and thus more for us to breathe. Will we be healthier as a result of the thicker atmosphere?
