Study: warming of Antarctic peninsula due to ocean and atmospheric circulation patterns
From the University of Washington, something we covered earlier in WUWT from the BAS, but UW is now just getting around to press releases. The Antarctic peninsula is essentially a…
The beginning of the end: warmists in retreat on sea level rise, climate sensitivity
The forecast: It seems there’s less chance of gloom and doom these days. For sea level rise, now a maximum of about two feet by 2100. As for climate sensitivity,…
Recent climate, glacier changes in Antarctica at the 'upper bound' of normal
From the University of Washington some walkback? In the last few decades, glaciers at the edge of the icy continent of Antarctica have been thinning, and research has shown the…
Evidence for a Global Medieval Warm Period
From CO2Science: Medieval Warm Period (Antarctica) — Summary Was there a Medieval Warm Period somewhere in the world in addition to the area surrounding the North Atlantic Ocean, where its…
Uncertainty be damned, let's make ice and sea level projections anyway
‘A better path’ toward projecting, planning for rising seas on a warmer Earth From Princeton University, by Morgan Kelly, Office of Communications More useful projections of sea level are possible…
The Coldest Journey Gets Colder
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I was saddened to get the news that Sir Ranulf Fiennes, OBE, has gotten frostbitten. As a result, he has been forced to give up…
Impractical Proposal: Dry Ice Sequestration on Antarctic Ice Sheets
An updated proposal to store CO2 on Antarctica Story submitted by John Tillman Story body: In 1995 two Japanese scientists suggested storing carbon dioxide in Antarctic ice caves. Now three…
Ozone hole in Antarctica shrinks significantly, but not a record low as erroneously reported elsewhere
While this is good news any way you look at it, I note there are a number of news reports saying that the “Ozone Hole Shrinks to Record Low” which…
First complete ice core record of last interglacial period shows the climate of Greenland to be significantly warmer than today
Study: ‘ Greenland ice sheet is not as sensitive to temperature increases and to ice melting and running out to sea in warm climate periods ‘. From the University of…
Antarctic warming courtesy of Mr. Fix-it
Just a little something he threw together Guest Post by David Middleton First the breath-taking headlines… Scientists Report Faster Warming in Antarctica, New York Times (WUWT commentary) West Antarctic Ice…
Glacially modeled snow job
From the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) Alarmism, I think maybe they are a bit unclear on the concept of how glaciers work. As snowfall varies with the…
Why ice loss and sea level measurements via satellite and the new Shepherd et al paper are highly uncertain at the moment
There’s a paper (Shepherd et al) on ice loss and sea level rise that has been making the rounds in media (such as this article in Science Recorder, claiming it…
Alice in Wonderland science
Our energy and environment deserve better – in South Africa and Qatar Guest post by Dr. Kelvin Kemm A few weeks ago, perhaps as a prologue to the “global warming…
Bipolar disorder – as in the Arctic, the Antarctic sea ice extent is affected by wind, unless of course it's 'climate change'
From the “no matter what happens it is climate change” department. So, according to this, when the Arctic loses ice it is due to climate change ‘global warming’ when the…
NASA on Earth's bipolar sea ice behavior
Opposite Behaviors? Arctic Sea Ice Shrinks, Antarctic Grows September 2012 witnessed two opposite records concerning sea ice. Two weeks after the Arctic Ocean’s ice cap experienced an all-time summertime low…
Antarctic weight loss seems to be in the eye of the beholder
From Newcastle University New understanding of Antarctic’s weight-loss New data which more accurately measures the rate of ice-melt could help us better understand how Antarctica is changing in the light…
According to NOAA data, all time Antarctic sea ice extent record was set on Sept 22nd, 2012
At the blog “sunshine hours” it seems the Antarctic has set a new record. He writes: As you may know, I have been using Cryosphere’s Antarctic Sea Ice Area data to…
There 'could' be more Antarctic melt worries
While the Antarctic is making new records for more ice this week, we have another press release with “could” science in it. Image: National Snow & Ice Data Center (NSIDC)…
RC's Dr. Eric Steig boreholes himself on Antarctica
This is something that needs wider circulation, hence its appearance here. I’ve been mulling over how to best present this, and decided there’s nothing I could do in the way…
