The Potential for a Sudden New Ice-Age
Some glaciologists' thoughts on how and why all or part of the 7 million cubic miles of Antarctic ice might slip into the ocean---and why that would cause a sudden ice age.

"In 1962, John Hollin opened up speculation about how relatively small climate changes might also affect ice in Antarctica. He argued that great volumes of ice there, piled up kilometers high and pushing slowly toward the ocean, were held in place by their fringes. These edge sheets were pinned at the marginal "grounding line" where they rested on the ocean floor. A rise of sea level could float an ice sheet up off the floor, releasing the entire stupendous mass behind it to flow more rapidly into the sea.(3*)

The idea was picked up by Alex Wilson, who pointed to the spectacle of a "surge." Glaciologists had long been fascinated by the way a mountain glacier might suddenly give up its usual slow creeping, to race forward at a rate of hundreds of meters a day. They figured this happened when the pressure at the bottom melted ice so that water lubricated the flow. As the ice began to move, friction melted more water and the flow accelerated. Could the ice in Antarctica become unstable in this fashion? If so, the consequences sketched by Wilson would be appalling. As the ice surged into the sea, the world's sea-coasts would flood. And that would not be the worst of humanity's problems. Immense sheets of ice would float across the southern oceans, cooling the world by reflecting sunlight. It could bring a new ice age.(4*)"

Re: The Potential for a Sudden New Ice-Age
The documented warming of the oceans and the increase in volcanic activity could mean the crust is also warming--leading to increased melting at the bottom of most glaciers/ice sheets--and an increased risk of catastrophic "slippage" of huge portions of the ice sheets into the oceans. Recurrent massive tsunamis, tremendous flooding from suddenly rising sea-levels, and sudden dramatic cooling of the atmosphere would likely result.

If water doesn't run uphill I doubt turning into ice will change that. 100 tons going into the oceans mean 100,000,000 tons of snow was blown into the middle, where it will stay.

Study confirming steady warming of oceans:
[link to phys.org (secure)]

"The 2015 analysis showed that the modern buoys now used to measure ocean temperatures tend to report slightly cooler temperatures than older ship-based systems, even when measuring the same part of the ocean at the same time. As buoy measurements have replaced ship measurements, this had hidden some of the real-world warming.

After correcting for this "cold bias," researchers with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration concluded in the journal Science that the oceans have actually warmed 0.12 degrees Celsius (0.22 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade since 2000, nearly twice as fast as earlier estimates of 0.07 degrees Celsius per decade. This brought the rate of ocean temperature rise in line with estimates for the previous 30 years, between 1970 and 1999."

Mass gains in Antarctic ice sheet:

"A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.

The research challenges the conclusions of other studies, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) 2013 report, which says that Antarctica is overall losing land ice.

According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001. That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008."

That burning and warming could easily be the trigger for the ice sheet collapse and subsequent ice age, too. And the end of this Age--a new Heaven and a new Earth.

Re: The Potential for a Sudden New Ice-Age
It sounds like more global warming bull-shit to me. The keep rewriting the scenario every time their models are proven false. Now they want us to believe that global warming is going to cause an ice age. The ice age is coming, but nothing man is doing has anything to do with it. It's just nature continuing the natural processes that have controlled our climate since millions of years before life was on this planet.

Re: The Potential for a Sudden New Ice-Age
So, we can add this hypothesis to a long list of causes of major climate changes leading the the Ice Age cycle:

1. Milankovich cycles, i.e., orbital precession and changes in the elliptical orbital parameters

2. Ocean current changes

3. Changes in salinity leading to evaporation changes

4. Changes in the deep ocean conveyor belt for absorbed CO2.

5. Changes in the magnetic field leading to more cosmic ray formation of high altitude clouds

6. Changes in galactic dust clouds we pass through

7. Micro novas caused by galactic waves of energy and particles.

8. CO2 greenhouse effects. Ditto methane. Changes in cloud formation and precipitation.

9. Incidence of volcanoes spewing sulfuric acid, particulates, etc. leading to global cooling.

What did I miss? There are several more hypotheses, all unproven.

MY HYPOTHESIS: World weather and climate is an incredibly complex process driven by MANY of the above factors and no none has the answer.

Is the Nobel Prize paid out in a lump sum or in monthly payments?

Please explain this “correcting for cold bias.”
