Just about anything written about Climate Change pre 2010 is hopelessly out of date.
Any CC article talking Centuries, or 2200 or even 2050 is way off the mark.
“It appears that we’re about to cross a threshold in summer . . . you might even call it a tipping point as we go into a net energy absorption” of the higher elevations, Box said. “Then we’ll see the melt area expanding abruptly and potentially covering the entire ice sheet in summer for the first time in observations.”
Box said the shift may take another decade or so, provided that current trends continue. “We’re right on the threshold.”
Colgan said it’s difficult to make predictions based on the reflectivity record, but it would be significant if 2012 becomes another record melt year.
"Box said the shift may take another decade or so...." like this guy, in Greenland now....
2012 Greenland ice melt greatest ever.
We've got months....
The UK’s Hadley Centre climate change model, best known forwarning of catastrophic losses of Amazon forest, predicts that undercurrent levels of greenhouse gas emissions, the chances of such adrought would rise from 5% now (one every 20 years) to 50% by 2030, andto 90% by 2100.
(We won't be here in 2050...;}
The collapse of the Amazon is part of the reversal of the carbon cycle projected to happen around 3°C, a view confirmed by a range ofresearchers using carbon-coupled climate models. 3 degrees C would likely see increasing and significantly large areas of the terrestrial environment being rendered essentially uninhabitable by drought andheat.
3C happens by 2020....
Rainfall in Mexico and Central America is projected to fall by50%. Southern Africa would be exposed to perennial drought, a hugeexpanse centred on Botswana could see a remobilisation of old sanddunes, much as is projected to happen earlier in the US west. TheRockies would be snowless and the Colorado river will fail half the time.
Hoover Dam stops producing electricity by 2017....;}
- The fact that would-be Elites are using Global Warming to justify an agenda of global fascism doesn't change the fact that it's a real thing... But "science" has become so politicized that you really have to take all their assertions with a grain of salt. CO2 is an easy target, but doesn't hold-up to logic. The biosphere is essentially a global engine that maintains a CO2/O2 balance. Puny naked apes might be able to make that pendulum swing a little farther than it would have without them, but it's really kind of hubris to think that we could 'break' the system by feeding it a little more fuel than it would have had otherwise.
This is wrong.
CO2 = HEAT
At 400 ppm you can accurately say that 2 C over the 1760 Baseline has been reached.
And burning 1.2 Trillion BBLs and putting that into the atmosphere will do the trick.
And the Climate you see now is from the 1990's inputs.... :twisted: :? 8-)
We've got months to collapse our emissions by 60% and that %age rises by the week now, until we can do 100% immediately and it will have no effect.
