UK BOM confirms Monk is a tard

[Jovial Monk]

I posed a hypothesis, you do know what they are don’t you? You are still confusing appeals to authority with how science works.

[IQS.RLOW]

Your hypothesis has been shot down because you don't know what you are talking about.
Get it through your thick fucking skull

[IQS.RLOW]

Oh and it was never YOUR hypothesis.

You are nothing but a googletard with an insane confirmation bias streak

[Jovial Monk]

Ah well, arguing with the uneducated is rarely productive.

Cold Jumps Arctic ‘Fence,’ Stoking Winter’s Fury

Judging by the weather, the world seems to have flipped upside down.

For two winters running, an Arctic chill has descended on Europe, burying that continent in snow and ice. Last year in the United States, historic blizzards afflicted the mid-Atlantic region. This winter the Deep South has endured unusual snowstorms and severe cold, and a frigid Northeast is bracing for what could shape into another major snowstorm this week.

Yet while people in Atlanta learn to shovel snow, the weather 2,000 miles to the north has been freakishly warm the past two winters. Throughout northeastern Canada and Greenland, temperatures in December ran as much as 15 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit above normal. Bays and lakes have been slow to freeze; ice fishing, hunting and trade routes have been disrupted.

Iqaluit, the capital of the remote Canadian territory of Nunavut, had to cancel its New Year’s snowmobile parade. David Ell, the deputy mayor, said that people in the region had been looking with envy at snowbound American and European cities. “People are saying, ‘That’s where all our snow is going!’ ” he said.

The immediate cause of the topsy-turvy weather is clear enough. A pattern of atmospheric circulation that tends to keep frigid air penned in the Arctic has weakened during the last two winters, allowing big tongues of cold air to descend far to the south, while masses of warmer air have moved north.

The deeper issue is whether this pattern is linked to the rapid changes that global warming is causing in the Arctic, particularly the drastic loss of sea ice. At least two prominent climate scientists have offered theories suggesting that it is. But others are doubtful, saying the recent events are unexceptional, or that more evidence over a longer period would be needed to establish a link.

Since satellites began tracking it in 1979, the ice on the Arctic Ocean’s surface in the bellwether month of September has declined by more than 30 percent. It is the most striking change in the terrain of the planet in recent decades, and a major question is whether it is starting to have an effect on broad weather patterns.[My emphasis]

I have been thinking about that myself and as I said was not convinced by the UK Met. Office’s answer to my email.

If this pattern occurs next N hemis winter than my theory will be confirmed pretty much.

[IQS.RLOW]

No it won't

Seems you don't know the difference between a theory and a hypothesis, googletard

Arctic Defrost Dumping Snow on U.S. and Europe
http://ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=54278

The warming Arctic and melting sea ice is a planetary-scale change since the Arctic Ocean covers 14 million sq km, an area almost as big as Russia. The Arctic and Antarctic polar regions are key drivers of Earth's weather and climate. The rapid defrosting of the Arctic has already altered the climate system, researchers now agree.

IPS previously broke the story revealing that the snow and cold in the eastern United States and Europe during the winter of 2009-10 was likely the result of the loss of Arctic sea ice. The same thing has happened this year.

As more and more sea ice melts, there is more open water to absorb the summer sun's heat. A day of 24-hour summer sun in the Arctic puts more heat on the surface of the ocean than a day in the tropics, James Overland of the NOAA/Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in the United States told IPS.

That extra heat in the ocean is gradually released into the lower atmosphere from October to January as the region slowly re-freezes months later than normal. This is a fundamental change - a large part of the Arctic Ocean is radiating heat instead of being cold and ice-covered. That has disrupted wind circulation patterns in the northern hemisphere, reported Overland and other researchers at the International Polar Year Oslo Science Conference in Norway last June.

The result: the Arctic stays warm and mid-latitude regions become colder and receive more snow for much of the winter. Last December was the coldest south Florida has experienced in more than a century of record-keeping.

Most of Britain suffered through its coldest December ever. Up in the Arctic, Coral Harbour on the northwest corner of Hudson Bay was above zero degrees C for two days in early January for the first time in history. Much of the eastern Arctic centred around Baffin Island averaged +21C above normal between Dec. 17 and Jan. 15 this year.

Another year, another confirmation Monk is a fucking moron

Professor Sir Brian Hoskins, Director of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change,

It is too soon to say that there is irrefutable evidence that this collection of extreme events is associated with climate change

All the events we’ve seen recently have happened before

[Rorschach]

LOL
Well if it is climate change are they trying to tell us it is cooling not warming?
I mean to say if the planet was truly getting warmer surely the winters would first be getting milder then hotter. That is what global warming is about isn't it?
