Loss of sea ice leads to unprecedented Arctic warming

[westwall]

It’s not what people say that tells us what they believe. It’s what they do that tells us what they believe.

Yup, watch what they DO, not what they say.

Always!

Aside from the albedo effects in summer, the loss of sea ice over winter leads to atmospheric heating from the warmer sea water.

December serving up baked Alaska and warming most of Arctic

Much of the Arctic is in a burst of freak December warming. Temperatures in Alaska’s northernmost community hit 40 degrees Monday morning.

Not “unprecedented.”

DENIER!!!!

There have been over 1,000 similar threads in this forum in the past 12 years.

Nobody cares.........still.

The linked article does not use that word. From where are you quoting it?

I’m glad you agree it’s not unprecedented.

The previous interglacial had 26ft higher seas with 120 ppm less atmospheric CO2 than today. So much for your correlation.

You got me there. However, given a certain amout of literary license, the term is appllicable given the text of the linked article's first paragraph:
Much of the Arctic is in a burst of freak December warming.

In Utqiagvik, Alaska’s northernmost community formerly known as Barrow, it hit 40 degrees (4.4 degrees Celsius) Monday morning. That’s not only a record by six degrees (3.3 degrees Celsius) but it’s the warmest that region has seen on record from late October to late April, according to Rick Thoman, a climate specialist at the International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

It rained over the weekend in Nome, Alaska, which is unusual but not unheard of for December and the town also had record-breaking warmth Sunday. Savoonga Creek was flooding and didn’t have snow cover, nor did the town of Teller northwest of Nome, where snow this time of year is used for drinking water, Thoman said.

On Sunday, the Arctic as a whole averaged 11.5 degrees (6.4 degrees Celsius) warmer than the 1979-2000 average temperature and on Monday, computer models showed that average to likely be 10.5 degrees (5.9 degrees Celsius) warmer than normal, according to the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer.

In Nuuk, Greenland, on Friday it was shirt-sleeve weather in December, when the temperature peaked at 54 degrees (12.2 degrees Celsius), 26 degrees (14.4 degrees Celsius) above the normal high mark. In Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, on Friday it hit 48 degrees (8.9 degrees Celsius), which was 34 degrees (18.9 degrees Celsius) warmer than normal.

Using the term unprecedented for unprecedented in the hiistorical record is acceptable.

The Oxford Dictionary's definition of unprecedented is "never done or known before"

Besides, you are nit picking rather than addressing the actual content of the OP.

Do you have anything to say to, say, the University of Colorado Sea Level Lab? They'd be the folks who produced these data

And this, of course, doesn't include the breakdown of the Thwaites Glacier or perhaps the entire WAIS, either of which would dwarf these values.

look on your ruler and see what 80 mm looks like. no one can measure the world's sea level to that accuracy. you have been duped. 3.15 inches in case you cannot read a ruler.

Then you shouldn’t have taken exception in the first place.

Yes, I do. First I would congratulate them on showing that the current rate is effectively the same as it has been for the past 6,000 years. Then I’d point out that this is a far cry from the projected 10 mm/yr in 10 years. So why don’t you add that projection to the plot so we can all have a good laugh.

Then I would point out that if they had made similar projections after every color their projections for today would have been too high compared to the actual.

Lastly I would would be asking what the temperature change would need to be to match this thermal expansion of water.

2-million-year-old DNA reveals a lost Arctic world

The oldest DNA ever analyzed shows that reindeer and mastodons once wandered a nearly unrecognizable Greenland.

Those mastodons must have been burning a lot of fossil fuels. Or had terrible flatulence.
