Melting Arctic Sea Ice May Be To Blame For Endless Winter: Scientists It's an increas

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Ocean water freezes at 28.4 degrees F. Diluted ocean water from all that dml confirmed about arctic mainland, and off mainland ice sheet melt would lead one to believe that the freezing point of the ocean water would now be somewhat higher. With the North Atlantic conveyor belt also slowing, and mixing of fresh and salt water not sinking nearly as actively, I would think that the Arctic Ocean has gained some ice building capacity.

It is really quite amazing how nature's pendulum only swings so far before the very action itself sows the seeds of it's own destruction. Holds true for ice ages.

I think there should be a continental drift tax to save the North Atlantic current temperature conveyor belt.

I see you get that the planet should be more concerned about an ice age than global warming. Why can't you stick to that? We will need plenty of GHGs to stop the cooling.

Burnt you hit the nail on the head. Its all just a scam and it is stealing money from the every day Joes.

Perfect answer burnt!
Major collaboration of EVIL SOB's hell bent on wealth transfer.

[furrowtickler]

It’s all part of ,and admitted by head UN officials .... it’s a wealth distribution plan first and foremost - on record saying so .

Chuck I just want to say , *** you .
You a self proclaimed farmer , do you actually understand the implications of Agenda 2030 to your future farm ? Or are you selling out and gone ? How about cutting your current income in half or less , or you kids living on 1/3 of what you are currently ? Do you think that’s sustainable for them ? Under this current direction , that exactly where they will be . But also , then giving your or your kids land away to “others “ as part of the wealth distribution plan before your kids even have a chance. It’s 100% in that agenda 2030.
That is what this whole climate scare , discrimination and inclusion horseshit is about , and admitted .. openly by the UN.
This is the plan , they have said it, in public , this is what they will do if we are stupid enough to fall for this b/S .
The amount of paid off corrupt enviro scientists that sheeple believe is staggering now .

BTW , most of us on here are not “assholes” as you called us , we are not climate change “deniers”, we are simply climate change critics of the absolute b/S extremism from the likes of you and the paid off “science “ experts. It is insane the b/S that is coming from the drivel you post . Humans do have an impact , that we all agree , it’s the extreme climate events blamed and going to be paid for by us that is horseshit while the very people polluting the earth horribly get off scot free , that is the issue that most of us here see through. The Greenland ice sheet will not disappear in thousands of years or 100% of the arctic ice . Those believing so are have been hypnotized. The ocean levels will not raise 10 feet in our lifetime or any of your grandchildren’s lifetime . Simple fact , why do the central banks and long term investors still dump billions of 20-40 year mortgages into ocean front properties for condos , hotels and on and on ????? Because they know this whole global warming and ocean level rising 10 ft is absolutely horseshit . They would never put their money at risk if that was the case .... ever.
The UN agenda 2030 will crush any average Joe who owns land that is not a in the extreme wealthy club . The elite will maintain 100% of their wealth while jetsetting around the globe , burning massive amounts of carbon telling us and our children how to correct our evil lives .. are you fukin kidding me ! While maintaining 3-4 mansions and a few cheap foreign workers to scrub their toilets to live like kings and queens. No different than 200-300 years ago . We are falling into the same trap ... it’s all our fault and we must pay . How’d that go back then ? Oh ya , our ancestors, including yours got the hell out of Europe for that reason .
That’s from everyone one here that has any common sense whatsoever.

Again the “carbon tax “ is a complete scam the rob the “wealthy” middle class to pay for the guilt of the massive pollution of this earth that the very elite class has profited from for the last 100 years . It’s called passing the guilt to the “gullible “. And by any means possible they are trying to accomplish that.
It is simply sickening to witness.
The majority of farmers in Western Canada are already miles ahead of most countries in conservative environmental practices . How many other countries are using teir 4 B engines ???? Very fukin few ... that’s a fact . How many others are using zero or min tillage ?? Very fukin few .. that’s a fact . Yet we are set to be punished far worse that others .... that’s a fact .

throwing my hat in .
do not shoot.
I just watched a Nova PBS program .
Decoding the weather machine .

no matter your position, you should watch it. Sask. carbon capture even got a mention.
they certainly lay out a good case ,
the carbon levels rising are a result of humans .

the first part was proving that , the next was the effects.
then on to possible mitigations .
including what we do now , no till.

eg. that if all of NA agriculture did no till , it would soak up all the car emission's in north America .
if we can do something , to put the carbon back , we can still use the fuels. sort of.

probably most interesting is the oceans are soaking up 97 of the added heat
right now, which would make sense .
we are lucky we have that for now , , but in the long run , they would be a little tough to cool off.

I think it is well worth your time , no matter where you stand

[furrowtickler]

Just a little long term perspective..

[sawfly1]

there is a lot of really cool stuff in the program.
drilling 2 miles deep in Antarctic ice , and collecting air samples from 800,000
years ago , extracting air samples trapped in bubbles in the ice.

matching the samples to ocean temp variations , from cores from bottom of oceans .
from shells of clams , to determine temp.

net result CO2 levels match temp. thru history.
our recent spike in Co2 takes us right off the high end to levels not seen in 800,000
like 1/3 to 1/2 again
years. uncharted territory.
we all know black ground soaks up more heat than snow and ice .

they are talking a 3 ft. rise in sea level in 50 years.
no skin off our nose , we will all be dead anyway.

Greenland if completely melted , would rise ocean 26 ft.
Antarctica completely melted another 120 ft.

science could save our grandchildren's ass on this thing .

I agree with furrow we do not need a wealth transfer scheme .

but we should heed what science is telling us .

unless you think it is all a big conspiracy

[sawfly1]

furrow your chart cuts off, where mine begins ,800,000 years , you are really going back.

seemed like they were making sense, any way.

as far back as you went , the earths crust would not have cooled yet.
it still looked pretty cold

just thought I would put it out there . about the program .

and I am too lazy to correlate CO2 , levels to temp . 4 billion years ago
maybe tomorrow.

Thx Sawfly for an informative look at things .
PBS seems to be non bias good reporting.
My question is ... which hummans pay? And who pays ? At what cost ? And for what , who’s ultimate benefit, people like Al Gore ?
Why you / me / our kids who are extremely responsible to the environment already compared to 90 % of the worlds population?
No doubt the earth is being polluted horribly , but who is going to pay the ultimate price ? Us and our children, while the elite , major corporations will get a free pass?? ... that’s the unfortunate truth .
I can’t stand the hypocrisy of those telling us what we should do while they jet set all around the world burning up carbon like its fireworks on the 4 Th of July and will not for one minute change their lifestyles, while making the average Joe feel guilty and give up everything we and our forefathers worked for a basic life in comparison .
Sorry this is why most of us hate the real climate change agenda , it’s being extremely exaggerated by the very people causing the problem, and so many people are buying into this propaganda b/S that it’s our fault and we must pay its crazy.

The last real data I seen on long term temperature world wide was 0.8 C above normal over the last 200 years and it is declining due to weakness in sunspots.
We are still well below any real higher world temps recorded in ice cores from the past 2 million years . Also well below CO2 levels on average from ice core data from hundreds of thousands of years of ice core data .
Are any of you willing to sacrifice yours or your children’s ability to farm to pay for the third worlds , big corporations and elites pollution responsibility? After trying to be as best of stewards of the land as possible in your generation compared to 90% of the rest of the worlds population?? I am not .
I will do what I can , but I will not pay
Carbon tax’s for others misuse of the environment while already being miles ahead of that 90% . This responsibility does not land on the average joe . But that who is going to pay , and no amount of money we pay in tax’s still will not ever change our global climate ... ever.
30,000 farmers in western Canada will never be as responsible for “man made climate change” as 4 billion in Asia ... that’s a fact as well .

Good posts Sawfly. Especially about the part that agriculture could play in mitigating climate change.
Just yesterday the New York Times ran an entire magazine section on how agriculture could save the climate. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/18/magazine/dirt-save-earth-carbon-farming-climate-change.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/18/magazine/dirt-save-earth-carbon-farming-climate-change.html

This is the battle we should be fighting, not whether or not climate change is real. Shows like PBS and articles like the NYTs could change the way people look at agriculture and could help us sell our industry and production as climate and environmentally friendly. We could get governments and enviornmentals off our back if we sold are farms as preventing climate change. I guarantee the organic farmers are already all over this. Yet conventional farmers are still arguing that climate change is fake. It is no wonder we don't get paid for sequestering carbon like we should be.

Instead tymrefield tries to confuse us with math from Watts up. The author claims to be an engineer, but does not even mention thermal expansion of water which is the major driver of rising sea levels under global warming. Yes ice melt does increase water depth but not near the amount thermal expansion does.

And then he tries to impress (confuse) you with the math of the energy man would need to expend to melt all the ice and the years it would take. But he does not even mention that the sun puts out about 6000 times the energy in one day that humans use in a year. And it is the energy from the sun which melts the ice. We only contribute to it by building up green house gases which increase temps on earth. So if our addition of greenhouse gasses increase only by a fraction of a percentage, the effect is more radiant energy from the sun is held in the atmoshphere which does account for the energy needed for ice melt.

So much for honest data and information from deiners.

The last point I want to make is on the charts from furrowtickler. Why go back to millions of years when the earth was young, the crust was warmer, volcanos were rampant, and there was only one continent to talk about climate. The earth has been stable for the last 800,000 years, and we have seen regular cycles of warming and cooling as you point out. But the one thing we have not seen in this stable cycle were CO2 levels this high. And the increase has only come in the last few hundred years, when man truly harnessed fossil fuel energy. This is the chart we need to be concerned with.

[biglentil]

We know you guys are good at cherry picking the data, but why cherry pick the last 800000 years of C02 levels? The earth and life on this planet is far older than that. If possible think critically for a second. During the Jurasic period the earth had 4 times the current C02 level. The earth during that time was extremely abundant fostering the largest creatures that this planet has ever seen. Look at the badlands of Southern Alberta one of the richest sources of large fossils on the planet. If you have ever driven through you'll understand that it must of been a much more abundant than it currently is. Plants thrive with C02 levels approximately 4 times higher than current levels!!! Ask anyone that grows in a greenhouse and adds C02.

To say that that higher C02 levels will have a negative effect on life on this planet is just plain ass backwards. Give it a rest DML, us real farmers have real things to worry about.
