"The warming of the atmosphere, happening especially at high latitudes, reduces the temperature difference between higher and lower latitudes. This tends to make storms move more slowly. This results in storms dumping more precipitation in localized areas, which causes more flooding in those areas and droughts outside of them. Higher temperatures also increase evaporation, exacerbating droughts and adding more moisture to the air for stronger storms."

"Common sense" would dictate that a single change would have a single, unidirectional effect, but common sense is often wrong. In such a complex system as the Earth, even such a simple change as "1 degree warmer" can have vast, wide-ranging effects.

I think you had better get a better understanding of our atmospheric structure. You're going to need it if you want to go into the aerospace industry.

What would cause this part of the atmosphere to warm up and why would it be confined to this part of the atmosphere?

The greenhouse effect, obviously. As for "especially at high latitudes,"

One of the earliest and consistent predictions of global warming theory is that the polar regions would increase in temperature to a far greater degree than the equatorial regions. This prediction is plausible for several reasons. First of all, the polar regions are subject to the ice-albedo feedback; i.e., as sea ice and snow fields melt the ground and open water absorb more of the Sun's radiation. Second, the air of the polar regions is dry, so dry that they are deserts as much as the Sahara is. Being dry the polar air has very little of the overwhelmingly most important greenhouse gas, water vapor. In moister regions carbon dioxide is a relatively small proportion of the greenhouse gases, but in the dry regions it is relatively more important. Thus if the concentration of carbon dioxide doubles there is relatively smaller effect in moister regions than in the dryer regions so the temperature effect of the increased carbon dioxide is greater in the dryer regions. But, if the atmosphere in the polar regions warms there will be more evaporation and thus a postive feedback from greenhouse effect of increased water vapor.

One degree warmer than it otherwise would have been. Keep in mind that the most recent Ice Age was only 4.5C colder than today. We're 15% of that, in the other direction, and in ~86 years, we'll be one Ice Age Unit warmer than pre-industrial times.

jwoodward48, help me understand the semantic weaseling going on here. What is meant by warming occurring "especially" at high latitudes? Why is it not especially happening at low latitudes? What is meant by "warming" anyway? Warmizombies specialize in using the vaguest of language so they cannot be pinned down on any semantic whatsoever. If you critique a warmizombie for violating physics then s/he simply says "that's not what was said." Ergo, I'm asking you to get as technical as necessary to explain what is being said.

I always love this part. Droughts are exacerbated by increased precipitation.

jwoodward48 wrote: that a single change would have a single, unidirectional effect,

Yes, that is what happens in physics.

However, if results in nature are based on the arbitrary decisons of unfalsifiable deities, e.g. "Climate," then any "cause" can have any "effect." It's miraculous.

Of course. It could bring catastrophic doom to the planet, ... presuming hypothetically for a moment that it is happening, ...and presuming it is a result of "Climate" just being so very pissed at humanity for its carbon sins, ... yes, of course one degree could easily equate to certain doom.

...but what a WACKY religion that would have to be.

I see you believe EVERYTHING that you read in the Internet. Must suck to believe that way.

Ask yourself an important question. What about the Arctic Sea is dry? You should also ask yourself why is the air so dry at the poles?

Then ask yourself the big one: Why the air warm only at the poles to make the ice melt in the first place? Do you have ANY idea of the amount of energy it would take to make a polar ice cap completely melt?

So...there is no difference in temperature between night and day?

How are you measuring global temperature? Do you have a magick global thermometer or something?

The average temperature of the troposphere will be called T_t. The difference between T_t now and T_t in 1900 will be called delT_t (for delta). delT_t is higher latitudes is greater than delT_t in lower latitudes, in general.

If the higher latitudes warm up more than the lower latitudes, then the higher latitudes are relatively warmer, reducing the difference in temperature between the two regions. You do understand how storms form and move, right?

Or for those who believe that weather can be described or predicted. You think it is this entirely random thing that is exempt from science. I'd call that religious, not climate science.

I always love this part. Droughts are exacerbated by increased precipitation.


Droughts in some areas, floods in others. Can't you understand this?

No, that's not what happens in physics, but that's doesn't matter. This isn't physics. In sociology, chemistry, and biology, single changes do not have single, unidirectional effects. Why should climate science be any different?

I'm not saying that we're about to get "punished for our sins." I'm saying that we are more than capable of ****ing up our own little habitable corner of the universe. Even other animals know not to shit where they sleep. Apparently, we don't.

No. I found a good explanation on the internet that lines up well with what I already know.

Hah! You idiot, I'm talking about humidity.

Then ask yourself the big one: Why the air warm only at the poles to make the ice melt in the first place? Do you have ANY idea of the amount of energy it would take to make a polar ice cap completely melt?


It wouldn't completely melt, obviously. And the air warming at the poles would have a positive feedback effect that makes the air even warmer - that's how the GHE is more effective at higher latitudes.

The difference between night and day is often more than one Ice Age Unit. Does that mean that Ice Ages are these puny things that have no effect on anything? No. This is obvious.
