I am new to the global warming debate. I have a question for the experts. Is the polar ice currently acting like a heat sink, sucking up much of the global warming, and turning ice into water? What will happen when all polar ice is melted, and stops acting like a heat sink and stops taking the sharp edge off of global warming? Will global warming then cause much more rapid impacts on the the rest of the globe? ajml617 |

ajml617 wrote: That's a very reasonable question, given the high latent heat of fusion of ice. However, although the Arctic sea ice covers a relatively large area (varying between about 6 million square kilometres in summer and about 15 square kilometres in winter), it is no more than a few metres thick. Hence the heat required to melt it all is relatively insignificant compared to, for example, the heat that goes into warming the oceans. Nevertheless, the Arctic sea ice does have a big effect on the Earth's radiation balance for another reason: its reflectivity. Ice reflects sunlight much more effectively than water, so the presence of the ice helps to cool the Earth in this way. As the ice melts, more solar radiation is absorbed by the open water, thus amplifying the warming effect. This is an example of a positive feedback effect: the more heat absorbed, the less ice; the less ice, the more heat absorbed. In summary, because of its reflectivity, the presence of Arctic ice does act as a brake on warming that is becoming steadily less effective as it melts. This is a continuous process, though, rather than a step change. |

Surface Detail, Thanks for your expert comments. Is it relevant to look at a wider picture than I first suggested? Since the last ice age 11,000 years ago, sea levels have risen more than 100m, about 1.2m per century on average. There is debate on whether sea levels will rise from 0.1m to 1.5m in the next century. Some experts who have long been studying this claim that because we have been running out of ice to melt lately, it is only possible for sea levels to rise between 0.1 and and 0.2m in the next century. That sounds plausible, although if sea temperatures start to markedly rise, and the sea thermally expands, it might add up to more sea level rise than 0.2m. If we think long term, the earth has been melting a large amount of ice per century, enough to raise sea levels by 1.2m per century. Could the ice age ice existing 11,000 years ago be considered to have been a "huge heat sink resource" which has lasted 11,000 years, but is now near exhausted? Has this heat sink resource been keeping temperatures from rising rapidly for 11,000 years, but as the resource expires, in terms of the past 11,000 years, the expected increase in global temperatures in the next century might be at a much faster rate, in part because of contribution from loss of heat sink resource? As you point out, the reflective effect of ice has to a degree dampened down heat gain, so with both the loss of an 11,000 year lasting heat sink resource, as well as progresive loss of reflecting value of ice, the expected heat gain in the environment in the next hundred years will surely significantly exceed what has occurred on average in the past 11,000 years. Likely this will impact Eco systems more than the average of the past 11,000 years, something we need to think about. I know that many project that much faster global warming will occur in the next century than typical over the past 11,000 years. I am just wondering if the projections have taken adequate allowance for the loss in perhaps the next century of the last of the 11,000 year lasting "ice age ice heat sink resource"? During the last ice age, ice was miles thick in extensive areas. It must have absorbed/ offset a lot of heat gain per century to melt off ice miles deep over the past 11,000 years. Perhaps the average heat sink benefit per century of ice over the past 11,000 years can be calculated? Would it be significant? ajml617 |

ajml617 wrote: The heat sink effect is not valid over thousands of years. Over decades and even a century or more the oceans will absorb heat energy with no big effect but over more than a thousand and you are into the inevitable effect that more heat energy will have. To increase temperature. The sea level rose very abruptly at the end of the ice age as all that ice melted quickly because it was all at the same altitude and as the climate warmed it caused the ice to retreat and thus stop being so reflective of heat from the sun thus warming the place up again. The thing with the ice that has survived this is that it is all (well almost all) in places that are not at low altitude and are extremely safe from melting. The easy to melt stuff has done so. Thermal expansion of the oceans was talked about as being the great threat but after the IPCC got some mechanical engineers to look at it the threat went away as it will cause 7cm of expansion per degree increase over 100 years. Assuming a constant rate of increase. The IPCC et al then went back to talking about ice melting. Well, OK, it wont but let's stick with their figures.... What impact do you think the worste case scenario of a 1m sea level rise will have? In places like FLorida the locals will, over the course of this century, be mainatining and building sea defences. The people who own sea front property and the local governments do this all the time. The additional work required will not be significant when compared to the amount spent on traffic lights. In Bangladesh the monsoon floods deposit at least 2cm of mud all over the place every year. There will be more Bangladesh in 2100 than now.

Perhaps the average heat sink benefit per century of ice over the past 11,000 years can be calculated? Would it be significant? Again, the ice that melted did so over a few centuries. There has been no vast melting for the last 7 thousand years at least. Edited on 14-12-2016 17:08 |

As Tim has mentioned, the ice age ended relatively abruptly in geological terms, with the global average temperature rising by about 5 degrees C over a period of 6,000 years or so. During this period, the vast ice sheets covering northern America, Europe and Asia melted to leave just the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, raising the sea level by about 120 metres. The rise in temperature was probably triggered by cyclical changes in the Earth's orbit and then driven primarily by positive feedback from the greenhouse effect as CO2 levels rose from about 180 ppm to 280 ppm. After reaching a maximum about 8,000 years ago, the Earth's temperature (also CO2 concentration, ice cover and sea levels) had remained almost stable, cooling by less than one degree over this time. Within the last 200 years, though, as human emissions have driven CO2 levels above 400 ppm, the Earth has warmed by about a degree, the ice is melting again, and the sea level is rising again. What does the future hold? Well, complete melting of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets would raise the sea level by about 70 metres. While this almost certainly will happen if we continue to increase CO2 levels, it will take a long time - probably well over a millennium. Even if the Earth were to remain at its current temperature, paleoclimate evidence suggests that the sea level would eventually stabilise at about 8 metres higher than today. In the more immediate future, current estimates are that the sea level will be about 0.8 metres higher by the end of the century, with about half of that coming from thermal expansion of sea water and the other half from melting ice. The latter contribution is, however, quite uncertain since it is difficult to predict just how rapidly the ice sheets will melt. It may be less, or it could well be more. It depends a lot on the precise behaviour of the glaciers. Edited on 14-12-2016 19:34 |

http://www.noaa.gov/media-release/unprecedented-arctic-warmth-in-2016-triggers-massive-decline-in-sea-ice-snow Findings from the report: Warmer air temperature: Average annual air temperature over land areas was the highest in the observational record, representing a 6.3 degree Fahrenheit (3.5 degree Celsius) increase since 1900. Record low snow cover: Spring snow cover set a record low in the North American Arctic, where the May snow cover extent fell below 1.5 million square miles (4 million square kilometers) for the first time since satellite observations began in 1967. Smaller Greenland ice sheet: The Greenland ice sheet continued to lose mass in 2016, as it has since 2002 when satellite-based measurement began. The start of melting on the Greenland ice sheet was the second earliest in the 37-year record of observations, close to the record set in 2012. Record low sea ice: The Arctic sea ice minimum extent from mid-October 2016 to late November 2016 was the lowest since the satellite record began in 1979 and 28 percent less than the average for 1981-2010 in October. Arctic ice is thinning, with multi-year ice now comprising 22 percent of the ice cover as compared to 78 percent for the more fragile first-year ice. By comparison, multi-year ice made up 45 percent of ice cover in 1985. Above-average Arctic Ocean temperature: Sea surface temperature in August 2016 was 9 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) above the average for 1982-2010 in the Barents and Chukchi seas and off the east and west coasts of Greenland. |

Here is a comparison showing the great power of the Present High Arctic Berserker: From early August to late September, 2016 showed itself in a very poor second place(& that only for a few days) for Arctic sea ice loss extent, compared to the year 2012, partially due to no favorable winds that flushed Arctic sea ice to the south out of the Arctic Ocean.... which occurred strongly for the year 2012. Anyhow, as late as September 27, 2016, the year had 1.4 million extra square kilometers of ice, compared to 2012, despite the earlier beginnings of the High Arctic Berserker. But then the High Arctic Berserker began extended very high temperature escalations, even higher than decades long "normal" partings from "average" High Arctic temperatures. Well inside 3 weeks, 2012 lost its 1.4 million KM2 pad. In 1 month plus a few days, 2012 had 2/3rds of million extra KM2 of ice than 2016. In another 3 weeks, 2016 did its now famous power melt of Arctic sea ice, extending its sea ice loss over 2012 to 1.1+ MILLION KM2. Presently, with the 2016 High Arctic Berserker between ice melting battles, 2016 still leads 2012 in sea ice loss by 1/3 million KM2. |

If NOT for one questionable day, the High Arctic Berserker would be ~ 115(+?) straight days over the average. Presently, at 8+degC over average, the High Arctic Berserker sets sail for 150(+?) straight days over the average in a strong steady blow toward the higher numbers. Edited on 19-12-2016 00:33 |

Tho the High Arctic Berserker is "idling" now, the HAB has helped 2016 HA temperature to presently be between 9 & 10 degC over "average" & 2016 Arctic sea ice is dramatically low, 1.9 million KM2 LESS than the average sea ice extent of the 1980's. Because of the present 2016 Arctic sea ice low, the maximum 2017 sea ice extent has a fair chance to remain below 14 million KM2, which has ONLY occurred in the years 2015 & 2016 of previous satellite Arctic data. |
