4.4. I just am conservative and imagine am somewhat hopeful that it won't be really bad. I also will enjoy it when denier's slap their backs on another resounding recovery
Crowd-Source Prediction of Minimum Arctic Sea Ice
How does the collective wisdom of Arctic Sea Ice blog participants compare with expert scientific analysis in forecasting the September sea ice extent? This question seems worth exploring with a crowd-source experiment. You are all invited to submit, as comments to this post, your best guess for...
Yazzur,
A small but important correction. hansen has never predicted a 5 meter SLR by 2100. That comment was taekn completely out of context and has been unfairly used agaisnt him as are most of his utterances. What he said ( I am not quoting but I have read it a few times so I am confident fo the sentiment) was that the IPCC prediction of 1-2 feet was absolutely ridiculous, and that one might as easily say 5 meters. He quickly added that there was absolutely no science to back up that assertion, but 5 meters was as likely as 1 foot.
On the other hand hansen should be well aware of how demonized he has been portrayed and should know enough to not make comments like that.
Models are improving, but can they catch up?
All models are wrong, but some are useful, as the saying goes. However, when looking at how Arctic sea ice decline is modeled, one might be tempted to say that all sayings are useful, but some are wrong. To be fair, I should be the last person taking a piss at climate models. Hundreds of brill...
Steve Goddard is still taunting "warmists, saying they are all basically cowards because they won't bet him that there will be a record minimum extent. He just yesterday posted that he was offering to bet $1000, while his commenters all are bringing up bizarre explanations and flt out denial about what is happening.
Arctic storm part 3: detachment
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Arctic summer storm is still there. After approximately 48 hours (which is long for an Arctic summer storm) it has weakened some compared to yesterday or the day before, but as far as I can see sea level pressure in the centre of the storm is still around 970 mb, w...
So, what is the explanation for this? I read about the large amounts of snow in Alaska. Has it been very cold there this winter? Is this going to mean that it will take longer for the ice above the Bring Strait to melt?
NASA image of the day: Bering Sea
A little over a month I looked at the situation in the Bering Sea, with sea ice cover larger than it has been for the last decade. This hasn't changed as NASA's Earth Observatory shows with the following satellite image of the day and accompanying text I have reproduced below: Bering Sea Teemi...
