You know this is your fault, right?
In a Warming World, Why Is the Southern Ocean Getting Cooler?
Climate models predict that as the planet warms, so will the Southern Ocean. But for decades, the waters around Antarctica have grown mysteriously cooler. A new study shows why.h
We could really just stop there. Once the cult trots out “climate models predict” we know this is trash. And
Anyhow
With warming, the region is seeing more rainfall and more ice melt, which are introducing more freshwater into the Southern Ocean. Because freshwater is not as dense as saltwater, it stays on the surface of the ocean instead of sinking down below. Freshwater acts like a lid, keeping warmer waters from rising up, scientists say, and the effect is much greater than previously appreciated.
Until now, models have failed to fully account for the influence of rain and, in particular, melting. Study coauthor Earle Wilson, of Stanford University, said the impact of meltwater is “completely missing from most climate models.”
Missing freshwater, he and colleagues found, accounts for 60 percent of the mismatch between predicted and actual temperatures. The findings were published in Geophysical Research Letters.
Yup, just another handy dandy way to blame cooling on you horrible people driving fossil fueled vehicles.
Regardless of Big Donnie’s obstinate stupidity, the Earth continues to warm!
How have the liberal climate scientists persuaded ice to melt? Greenland, the Arctic, Antarctica and glaciers! Do you geniuses suppose the ice sheets have learned to read?
Trump won the 2020 election!! Global warming is a hoax!! Donald is a genius!! fElon Musk just wants to make the US better!! Tariffs are paid to us by foreign countries!!
Teach,
By what mechanism(s) do YOU believe the Earth is warming?
2nd Question: Do YOU know how tariffs work?
N.Y. Times 5/31/1958 “5 Degree rise over last half-century is recorded at Little America, an Antarctic outpost.”
1/13/1959 The Sydney Morning Herald “In Alaska glaciers have been retreating from 100 to 200 years. The Antarctic ice sheet has also shown signs of recent retreat”.
The Courier-Mail 5/6/1940 “By far the largest number of glaciers in north-east Greenland have receded greatly during recent decades”. Many other stories like this. Hmmm-what could have caused this melting?
Jl asks: what could have caused this melting?
Local warming?
Are your quotes from Real Climate Science from right-wing MAGAt science denier Steven Goddard (aka Tony Heller)?
Denying what science, J? Seems you have continuing trouble answering that simple question. “Fromm Tony Heller?”. Why yes, he jumped in his time machine and went back to write those stories before he was born.. good catch. But if it was Heller, what difference would that make? This should be good….
The water is getting colder because of warming, Stupid!
