GaWx Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 http://www.landschei...nfo/?q=node/205 From this article: "The blocking high pressure cells that bend the jet stream which allows the southern movement of arctic air. At present there is an unusual permanent high pressure cell over Greenland. I think this pattern should prevail over the next 20 to 30 years and replaces the positive pattern of the last 30 years. The global warming models have suggested that man-made CO2 will keep the AO and NAO in positive mode....how wrong have they been?" " It is very possible that a solar grand minimum that is in position at the right time could assist the natural orbital changes as outlined via the Milankovitch Cycles. A kick start forced on by 30 years of negative PDO, AO and NAO might be all that is needed to push us over the edge...we are well overdue."

salbers Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I think a Milankovitch induced ice age is fairly unlikely at this time. The Earth's orbit is currently more circular than usual, thus suppressing the normal effect of the cycles. CO2 forcing is also outweighing the gentle cooling effect of the suppressed Milankovitch cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I think a Milankovitch induced ice age is fairly unlikely at this time. The Earth's orbit is currnetly more circular than usual, thus suppressing the normal effect of the cycles. CO2 forcing is also outweighing the gentle cooling effect of the suppressed Milankovitch cycle. CO2 measured in WP by man kind is 0.28% of the GHE. CO2 warming is minimal. In the last 1 billion years, our CO2 ppm # of 390 is actually quite low....CO2 had been normally between 600-2000ppm several hundred million years ago, and that was not CO2 enhanced................ it was caused by natural forcings, rising temperatures support higher CO2 levels. Temperature is also a major driver in CO2 numbers. Due to the logorithmic forcing effect, eventually CO2 warming looses complete effectivity. So...what could have created the CO2 rise THAT high? Certainly it was not humans, nor could we ever achieve such a feat. Something had to create a more favorable environment for CO2 to exist in.........what did it? THE SUN. There is no other explanation aside from solar & earths orbit. I find it hilarous that people are crying over how CO2 is a DRIVER... 3% of our atmosphere.......Human activity only causes about 0.33% of CO2 warming...which is 3% of our atmosphere. AND.....that despite our Current levels below the global mean over its existance........ that Humans are somehow going to warm the planet by 6C? Bullsh*t. CO2 isn't a driver...Its DRIVEN. Only 3% of the world is urbanized! Not to mention.......if all the people that EVER existed (about 178 billion) in the planet were to stand, side by side, we'd cover maybe the size of whales. Now, there are about 6 billion people currently alive. We'd maybe cover the size of maine. And a trace gas that is the backbone to Life as we know it......is going to kill us all. Think about it. When CO2 levels were higher, it was because temperatures were higher...and Life thrives in warmer temps! Look at the Earh. Where is the most rich, diverse life, Located? At the EQUATOR. A warmer planet would not only be beneficial to life as we know it....our food supply, an open arctic to easy trade routes, freeing up New lands to move and expand our population....humans adapt. We can adapt to sea level rise. Sure, it'd take some $$$, but if you want to see the NYC/manhattan expansion example over the past 300 years, I'll go right ahead. This whole argument has turned into a crapload of propaganda, power grabbing, needless fear, anger, and in the end, a meltdown of the human race as a child...striving to get what it wants....but not what it NEEDS. What we want is not what we need most of the time,and we're showing just how ignorant and immature we are. We'll Kill Ourselves before we can even talk level headed.....at this rate.

Sure you can make a determination that it is impossible for any action undertaken by a human is a natural once since it is impossible to remove us from nature. That doesn't mean our decision making process is ultimately limited to survival as other lifeforms on this planet. Merely surviving is not the only qualification for humans. We very much factor in quality of life and morality into our decision making. Your argument is a complete straw man. No one is asking you to commit suicide for the better health of the planet. No need to feel guilty about living, but maybe more about in the manner in which you live. Somehow, the rest of the world gets by with much lower consumption than Americans. You play a nice martyr though. I mean can you believe the NEVER of some people? Asking you not to LIVE? (lol) Merry Christmas to you too. This holiday season maybe as a start you'll turn down your thermostat a bit and wear a sweater indoors. You needent use solar, wind, or oil.

When CO2 levels were higher, it was because temperatures were higher...and Life thrives in warmer temps! CO2 is likely at the highest level since hominids started walking the planet. It's hard to say if humans could actually live on the Earth the way it was 1 billion years ago. There weren't any plants or animals to eat then. 100 million years ago we of course didn't evolve yet, partly out of competition with dinosaurs. So it seems appropriate to compare CO2 levels with other times when hominids have been around. It's a big moral step to return the world to a dinosaur loving environment, after the havoc wrought by rapid climate change. The higher CO2 levels (due to volcanoes, etc) hundreds of millions of years ago probably caused the temperature rises. Where's the mechanism for the converse?

Actually any reasonable source will show CO2 is 0.04% of Earth's atmosphere. However the 40% increase of CO2 in the last century or two is caused by humans. There's no other reasonable mechanism. The radiative effect we know for a CO2 doubling is around 1.2C. WIth feedbacks including water vapor it rises to around 3C (depending on other feedbacks). These are the important numbers. The only debate I see as relevant is what are the other feedbacks, including aerosol changes. It's true the total greenhouse effect is tens of degrees caused largely by water vapor.

Well 125000 years ago there may have been help from the Milankovitch cycles (as explained above). Plus the warming now takes a while to take hold in the oceans - be patient it will get there. I thought you said H2O was such a strong GHG. So when the CO2 forcing starts the temperature rise, the H2O continues it as a "slave" gas. Constant relative humidity means higher absolute humidity as I'm sure you know. You may have seen this discussed a bit over at Eastern Wx. Ocean and solar cycles aren't well handled by models (predictively), and this is somewhat irrelevant. It's the CO2 that will win out in the end as it is persistantly upward and lasts a longer time. Retrospectively the models handle these other cycles OK though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what caused CO2 levels to rise during those warm periods, I did explain it, and it is explained in my source. You also continue the fallacy that because CO2 levels rose in the past naturally, they must be rising like that right now naturally. So, Chibi Maruko Chan, whose real name is Momoko Sakura, lives in a family of 6 in Shimizu City (which is today Shimizu Ward in Shizuoka City), her paternal grandparents, her parents, and her big sister. The show pretty much goes into her everyday life, and it's very heartwarming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
