Climate Letter #1004

About the climate change story—

Read the fine print and you’ll discover that most of them do not even have anything to do with the phallic shape of the knees. viagra on line In the event that some recorded side effects occur during the duration of therapy, discontinue the use of getting viagra in canada and it contains the active ingredient Tadalafil. levitra not only treats ED by increasing blood circulation in pelvis and genitals.

Erectile dysfunction cannot levitra prescription http://djpaulkom.tv/crakd-get-your-finger-out-of-my-va-jayjay/ be cured by the acupuncture or not.

Again, I am amazed at how the relevant information has recently exploded.  Happily, for those interested, the number and quality of sources available on the web has kept up with it, ready to be put to good use.  In CL #1001 I gave you ten outstanding sources, each of them having a little difference in emphasis.  Today I will add another ten that I open each day and find useful.  Just to keep up with what’s new you might as well plan on spending up to an hour a day checking out as many of these as you can, or learn to like.  I will try to supplement that in some way, starting with the Weather Map findings, and maybe finding a few reasons for encouraging even more time and study.  That suggestion would be ridiculous if I did not believe, like many others, that the situation we have arrived at is not just unusual, or extreme, but deadly so.

Weather Map findings:  Go to http://cci-reanalyzer.org/wx/DailySummary/#PMSL  (Mean Sea Level Pressure.)  Scroll down to the full globe view.  What is most fascinating is the extremely low air pressure in a wide band that completely surrounds Antarctica.  The readings go even lower than what we see in major hurricanes, with a grip on the entire Southern Ocean!  Switch over to the Surface Wind chart and you can see the main result.  Those powerful winds churn up the water, thus cooling it at the surface, and that leads to a number of global weather effects.  One of those can be found in the sea surface temperature charts, where the La Nina signature in the equatorial Pacific has been growing lately.

New global temperature update, from James Hansen.  The bottom chart is the most revealing.  Is the “Best Linear Fit” going to remain in place much longer?

How much is known about the makeup of the permafrost region?  I have found what I believe to be the best available answer, contained in a scientific report issued in 2009.  It is one of those classics that has had many hundreds of citations.  The amount of detail that is provided is jaw-dropping.  You can either browse or read the full report in the link below, and view all the supporting information.  There is even a section discussing the vulnerability of the carbon within the permafrost, although that is not the main objective.  You will quickly get ideas about the size of the problem, the immediacy, the areas of remaining uncertainty and so on.  Final sentence—“This study more than doubles the size of the carbon pools in the northern circumpolar region, the area that can ultimately be exposed to new environmental conditions more amenable to decomposition of organic matter and, therefore, to its associated release of carbon dioxide or methane.”
