Antarctica undergoing severe and long-lasting heat wave

[Crick]

As has been the case for many years now, the poles are undergoing the greatest warming on the planet. This, of course, contributes to increasing sea level rise and decreasing albedo. Increased polar meltwater tends to reduce the thermohaline drivers of the AMOC.

Antarctic cold spells shatter records amid global heat waves in late winter 2023

While 2023 is noted for breaking global temperature records (State of the Global Climate 2023), the year also brought an unexpected twist with extreme cold events in Antarctica. A new study published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences reveals the surprising and severe cold spells that struck...

You see, there's this big round ball of fusion in the sky and it makes all the rules....Not man.

Various "Sun Gods" were worshiped by man for a reason.

It's the worst in at least a million billion years.

Not with the leadership of one Kamlala Harris

Under her, she will tax us trillions of dollars to help pay for a cooler climate. But like affording electricity these days, paying to turn down the thermostat on the planet appears to be a tad bit pricey.

Now I know what you are thinking, they tax us trillions of dollars and for what? The climate keeps getting hotter anyway despite the climate taxes and our cars being taken away and the fact we won't be able to afford to live anymore. Blah, blah blah.

So, there is that.

Millions of Years Ago, Antarctica Was a Temperate Rainforest

Sediment analysis from a layer deep within the Earth revealed that the dirt had first formed on land, not the ocean.

You were expecting something different during an interglacial period?

It has always been pricey but, like any other problem, it's cheaper to deal with it's causes than its symptoms and its cheaper to deal with it now than later. And then there's the point that the president does not have the authority to change our taxes.

Now I know what you are thinking, they tax us trillions of dollars and for what?

To operate the government.

The climate keeps getting hotter anyway despite the climate taxes

What climate taxes do you think you're paying?

and our cars being taken away

Show us a single car being taken away from anyone

and the fact we won't be able to afford to live anymore. Blah, blah blah.

Why won't we be able to afford to live anymore?

So, there is that.

No, apparently there is NOT that. Everything you've just said is false.

So whether the planet was naturally warming up or warming up because of man, the thermohaline circulation would experience the same result?

Don't expect a conversation out of this, just a correction.

Wrong. The poles are warming faster than the rest of the planet for several reasons: polar amplification due to loss of albedo as ice melts and exposes dark water and land, changing air movements due to the widespread global warming bringing moist, warm tropical air to the normally cold and stable poles and soot from burning fossil fuels reducing the albedo of the ice that remains.

The poles always warm faster and cool faster during climate changes, dummy. So whether the planet is naturally warming up or warming up because of man, the thermohaline circulation would experience the same result.

Getting on time to invest in building resorts, condos, and private beach properties. It's our next big land rush.

I have been saying for years we need to burn all the old tires to block out the sun with beautiful black smoke and cool this place down.

Black smoke would increase the amount of solar radiation absorbed and so would increase temperatures.

Black smoke would increase the amount of solar radiation absorbed and so would increase temperatures.

Extensive northern hemisphere continental glaciation decreases the amount of solar radiation absorbed and causes the planet - ocean and atmosphere - to cool.

And I'm adding to the discussion by stating the reason the planet cools during glacial periods.
