Where does Greenpeace stop and the IPCC begin? Sometimes it's difficult to tell.

Donna Laframboise 2010-01-28 en Greenpeace and the Nobel-Winning Climate Report Considered the climate Bible by governments around the world, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report is meant to be a scientific analysis of the most authoritative research. Instead, it references literature generated by Greenpeace - an organization known more for headline-grabbing publicity stunts than sober-minded analysis. The idea that 2,500 "scientific expert reviewers" provided feedback about the report during its pre-publication phase sounds awesome. But many of those people aren't scientists at all. They're professional activists in the employ of environmental organizations.

Climate Model Deficiencies in IPCC AR4 PSB
Chapter	Section	Page	Quotation
6	6.5.1.3	462	“Current spatial coverage, temporal resolution and age control of available Holocene proxy data limit the ability to determine if there were multi-decadal periods of global warmth comparable to the last half of the 20th century.”
6	6.7	483	“Knowledge of climate variability over the last 1 to 2 kyr in the SH and tropics is severely limited by the lack of paleoclimatic records. In the NH, the situation is better, but there are important limitations due to a lack of tropical records and ocean records. Differing amplitudes and variability observed in available millennial-length NH temperature reconstructions, and the extent to which these differences relate to choice of proxy data and statistical calibration methods, need to be reconciled. Similarly, the understanding of how climatic extremes (i.e., in temperature and hydro-climatic variables) varied in the past is incomplete. Lastly, this assessment would be improved with extensive networks of proxy data that run up to the present day. This would help measure how the proxies responded to the rapid global warming observed in the last 20 years, and it would also improve the ability to investigate the extent to which other, non-temperature, environmental changes may have biased the climate response of proxies in recent decades.”
8	Executive Summary	591	“The possibility that metrics based on observations might be used to constrain model projections of climate change has been explored for the first time, through the analysis of ensembles of model simulations. Nevertheless, a proven set of model metrics that might be used to narrow the range of plausible climate projections has yet to be developed.”
8	Executive Summary	593	“Recent studies reaffirm that the spread of climate sensitivity estimates among models arises primarily from inter-model differences in cloud feedbacks. The shortwave impact of changes in boundary-layer clouds, and to a lesser extent mid-level clouds, constitutes the largest contributor to inter-model differences in global cloud feedbacks. The relatively poor simulation of these clouds in the present climate is a reason for some concern. The response to global warming of deep convective clouds is also a substantial source of uncertainty in projections since current models predict different responses of these clouds. Observationally based evaluation of cloud feedbacks indicates that climate models exhibit different strengths and weaknesses, and it is not yet possible to determine which estimates of the climate change cloud feedbacks are the most reliable.”
8	8.1.2.2	594	“What does the accuracy of a climate model’s simulation of past or contemporary climate say about the accuracy of its projections of climate change” This question is just beginning to be addressed, exploiting the newly available ensembles of models.”
8	8.1.2.2	595	“The above studies show promise that quantitative metrics for the likelihood of model projections may be developed, but because the development of robust metrics is still at an early stage, the model evaluations presented in this chapter are based primarily on experience and physical reasoning, as has been the norm in the past.”
8	8.3	608	“Consequently, for models to predict future climatic conditions reliably, they must simulate the current climatic state with some as yet unknown degree of fidelity.”
8	8.6.3.2.3	638	“Although the errors in the simulation of the different cloud types may eventually compensate and lead to a prediction of the mean CRF in agreement with observations (see Section 8.3), they cast doubts on the reliability of the model cloud feedbacks.”
8	8.6.3.2.3	638	“Modelling assumptions controlling the cloud water phase (liquid, ice or mixed) are known to be critical for the prediction of climate sensitivity. However, the evaluation of these assumptions is just beginning (Doutraix-Boucher and Quaas, 2004; Naud et al., 2006).
8	8.6.4	640	“A number of diagnostic tests have been proposed since the TAR (see Section 8.6.3), but few of them have been applied to a majority of the models currently in use. Moreover, it is not yet clear which tests are critical for constraining future projections. Consequently, a set of model metrics that might be used to narrow the range of plausible climate change feedbacks and climate sensitivity has yet to be developed.”
9	Executive Summary	665	“Difficulties remain in attributing temperature changes on smaller than continental scales and over time scales of less than 50 years. Attribution at these scales, with limited exceptions, has not yet been established.”
10	10.1	754	“Since the ensemble is strictly an ‘ensemble of opportunity’, without sampling protocol, the spread of models does not necessarily span the full possible range of uncertainty, and a statistical interpretation of the model spread is therefore problematic.”
10	10.5.4.2	805	“The AOGCMs featured in Section 10.5.2 are built by selecting components from a pool of alternative parameterizations, each based on a given set of physical assumptions and including a number of uncertain parameters.”

• EIKE Europäisches Institut für Klima und Energie
  2010-02-08 de Was ist dran am globalen Anstieg des Meeresspiegels?

  Das IPCC - häufig hochtrabend "Weltklimarat" genannt - scheut sich nicht auch noch die krudesten Zeitungsenten, sofern sie von Umweltgruppen wie dem WWF kommen und ins Panikkonzert passen, als "wissenschaftlichen" Beleg für seine Phantasien zu bezeichnen.

  So wieder geschehen mit der Tartarenmeldung über die Niederlande im IPCC-Bericht 2007.

  Dort steht: "Die Niederlande sind das Beispiel dafür, dass das Land sowohl von der Steigung des Meeresspiegels als auch durch Überschwemmungen der Flüsse gefährdet ist, denn 55 Prozent des Landes liegen unter dem Meeresspiegel."

  Wie so häufig beim IPCC stimmt auch das nicht, denn nur 26 Prozent der Fläche der Niederlande, (die 41 525 Quadratkilometer beträgt), liegen unter dem Meeresspiegel.

  Und bedroht sieht sich dort niemand. Selbst die niederländische Umweltministerin Jaqueline Kramer glaubt diesen Humbug nicht und fordert eine Untersuchung.

  Man fragt sich allerdings wofür?

  Was es wirklich mit dem Meeresspiegel auf sich hat, erklärt uns einer der weltweit besten Meeresspiegel Experten N.A. Mörner im Glashouse Interview.

• EIKE Europäisches Institut für Klima und Energie
  2010-06-07 de Anstieg des Meeresspiegels - welcher Anstieg?

  Eine der vielen Präsentationen auf der 4. Internationalen Klimakonferenz des Heartland Instituts (Heartland Institute's fourth International Conference on Climate Change) stammte vom Meeresspiegelexperten Nils Axel Mörner, dem inzwischen emeritierten Leiter des Fachbereichs Paläogeophysik und Geodynamik an der Universität von Stockholm.

  Sein Vortrag konzentrierte sich auf den vermuteten Anstieg des Meeresspiegels und den Unterschied zwischen dem tatsächlichen Anstieg und dem vom IPCC stammenden diesbezüglichen Modellergebnissen.

  Von den Alarmisten wurden Mörners Arbeiten immer wieder in Zweifel gezogen, z.T. versucht lächerlich zu machen.

  Die jüngsten Medien-Berichte zur Ausweitung der Fläche von Bangladesh und des Anstiiegs der Südseeinseln von Tuvalu und den Malediven (s.u) geben ihm jedoch mal wieder eindrucksvoll Recht.

• Welt Online/Michael Miersch
  2010-06-05 de Die Drohkulisse der Untergangspropheten ist weg

  Angeblich versinkende Südseeinseln sind ein starkes Kapitel in der großen Erzählung von einer herannahenden Klimakatastrophe.

  Wie schwindende Eisbären und die schmelzende Gletscher weckt die Botschaft von den untergehenden Tropenparadiesen heftigere Gefühle als dürre Temperaturkurven.

  Dass die Bestände der Eisbären sich erfreulich vermehren, haben Zoologen schon vor Jahren dokumentiert (obwohl Al Gore und seine Freunde weiterhin das Gegenteil behaupten).

  Dass die Gletscher im Himalaja längst nicht so schnell schmelzen wie der Weltklimarat behauptet, bewiesen indische Wissenschaftler vergangenen Herbst.

  Und jetzt versinkt auch noch das Insel-Szenario.

  Forscher von den Fidschi-Inseln und aus Neuseeland veröffentlichten diese Woche einen Vergleich historischer und aktueller Luftaufnahmen von 27 Pazifik-Inseln.

  Ergebnis: 23 davon sind seit den 50er-Jaren gleich groß geblieben oder gewachsen.

  Sogar der Inselstaat Tuvalu, der immer wieder als dem Untergang geweiht dargestellt worden war, besitzt heute mehr Landfläche als damals.

  Sieben seiner neun Atolle wurden größer.

  Ähnlich gut sieht es für Malediven im indischen Ozean aus, deren Ministerpräsident vor dem Kopenhagener Klimagipfel medienwirksam unter Wasser posiert hatte.

  Und auch die Küstenlinie von Bangladesch weitet sich aus, statt zu schrumpfen.

  After years of decline, glaciers in Norway are again growing, reports the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE).

  The flow rate of many glaciers has also declined. Glacier flow ultimately acts to reduce accumulation, as the ice moves to lower, warmer elevations.

  The original trend had been fairly rapid decline since the year 2000.

  Despite the recent growth, most glaciers in the nation are still smaller than they were in 1982. However, Elvehøy says that the glaciers were even smaller during the 'Medieval Warm Period' of the Viking Era, prior to around the year 1350.

  Not all Norwegian glaciers appear to be affected, most notably those in the Jotenheimen region of Southern Norway.

5. North to Alaska and more growing glaciers

Glacier Bay National Park

Alaska's glaciers have been in retreat for nearly 200 years. But now they're advancing again.

• MichNews.com
  2008-10-28 en Alaska's Glaciers Are Growing

  Alaska's glaciers grew this year, after shrinking for most of the last 200 years.
  The reason? Global temperatures dropped over the past 18 months.

  The global mean annual temperature has been declining recently because the solar wind thrown out by the sun has retreated to its smallest extent in at least 50 years. This temperature downturn was not predicted by the global computer models, but had been predicted by the sunspot index since 2000.

  The solar wind normally protects the earth from 90 percent of the high-energy cosmic rays that flash constantly through the universe.

  Henrik Svensmark at the Danish Space Research Institute has demonstrated that when more cosmic rays hit the earth, they create more of the low, wet clouds that deflect heat back into outer space. Thus the earth's recent cooling.

  Unusually large amounts of Alaskan snow last winter were followed by unusually chilly temperatures there this summer.

  "In general, the weather this summer was the worst I have seen in at least 20 years," says Bruce Molnia of the U.S. Geological Survey, and author of The Glaciers of Alaska.

  "It's been a long time on most glaciers where they've actually had positive mass balance (added thickness)."

  Overall, Molnia figures Alaska had lost 10-12,000 square kilometers of ice since 1800, the depths of the Little Ice Age.

  That's enough ice to cover the state of Connecticut.

  Climate alarmists claim all the glaciers might disappear soon, but they haven't looked at the long-term evidence of the 1,500-year Dansgaard-Oeschger climate cycles. During the Little Ice Age-1400 to 1850-Muir Glacier filled the whole of Glacier Bay.

  Since then, the glacier has retreated 57 miles.

  But the Little Ice Age was preceded by the Medieval Warming, the cold Dark Ages, a Roman Warming, and a whole series of moderate warmings and coolings that extend back at least 1 million years based on the evidence of the microfossils in the world's seabed sediments.

  The sunspots are now predicting a 30-year cooling of the earth. That would thicken the Alaskan glaciers somewhat, but probably wouldn't refill Glacier Bay with ice. That'll have to wait for the next icy age.

  The sunspot index has a 59 percent correlation with our temperatures (with a roughly ten-year lag). CO2 has only an "accidental" 22 percent correlation with our temperatures, which should be grounds for dismissing CO2 as a major climate player.

  All this is radically different from the 5-degree C warming predicted by the computer models.

  However, the scientific rule says: if actual observations tell you something that's the opposite of your theory, change your theory.

• DailyTech
  2008-10-16 en Alaskan Glaciers Grow for First Time in 250 years

  A bitterly cold Alaskan summer has had surprising results. For the first time in the area's recorded history, area glaciers have begun to expand, rather than shrink.

  Summer temperatures, which were some 3 degrees below average, allowed record levels of winter snow to remain much longer, leading to the increase in glacial mass.

  "In mid-June, I was surprised to see snow still at sea level in Prince William Sound", said glaciologist Bruce Molnia. "In general, the weather this summer was the worst I have seen in at least 20 years".

  "On the Juneau Icefield, there was still 20 feet of new snow on the surface [in] late July. At Bering Glacier, a landslide I am studying [did] not become snow free until early August."

  Molnia, who works for the US Geological Survey, said it's been a "long time" since area glaciers have seen a positive mass balance - an increase in the total amount of ice they contain.

  Since 1946, the USGS has maintained a research project measuring the state of Alaskan glaciers. This year saw records broken for most snow buildup. It was also the first time since any records began being that the glaciers did not shrink during the summer months.

  Those records date from the mid 1700s, when the region was first visited by Russian explorers. Molnia estimates that Alaskan glaciers have lost about 15% of their total area since that time -- an area the size of Connecticut.

  One of the largest areas of shrinkage has been at the national park of Glacier Bay. When Alexei Ilich Chirikof first arrived in 1741, the bay didn't exist at all - only a solid wall of ice. From that time until the early 1900s, the ice retreated some 50 miles, to form the bay and surrounding area.

  Accordingly to Molnia, a difference of just 3 or 4 degrees is enough to shift the mass balance of glaciers from rapid shrinkage to rapid growth. From the 1600s to the 1900s, that's just the amount of warming that was seen, as the planet exited the Little Ice Age.

  Molnia says one cold summer doesn't mean the start of a new climatic trend. At least years like this, however, might mark the beginning of another Little Ice Age.

• World Climate Report
  2007-06-26 en Mont Blanc Glaciers Refuse to Shrink?

• If you have an interest in global warming and its effect on mountain glaciers, you will be thrilled to know that there are over one million websites on the subject.

  Even before you get to the first site, you already know what you will find.

  Burning fossil fuels increases atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, the Earth is warming, mountain glaciers are in full retreat all over the planet, delicate ecosystems are in peril, and humans who rely on the freshwater from mountain glaciers better get creative fast.

  Recall that in the Gore film, a great deal of attention was paid to the diminishing "snows of Kilimanjaro" - Gore has made hay in Glacier National Park as well pointing to shrinking glaciers.

  Retreating mountain glaciers have become a poster-child of the global warming alarmists - no presentation on the subject is complete without one.

• The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says in their recent 2007 Summary for Policymakers "Mountain glaciers and snow cover have declined on average in both hemispheres.

  Widespread decreases in glaciers and ice caps have contributed to sea level rise."

  Someone in Europe missed the memo on this subject as a recent article has appeared in the Journal of Geophysical Research entitled "Very high-elevation Mont Blanc glaciated areas not affected by the 20th century climate change."

  To say the least, we at World Climate Report were interested in what the authors had to say.

• The research was conducted by six scientists from leading agencies and departments in France and Switzerland that deal with hydrology and glaciology.

  Before you see the title of the article and immediately suspect some conspiracy funded by European coal companies, be aware that the research was funded by Observatoire des Sciences de l'Univers de Grenoble (OSUG), the European Programs ALPCLIM and CARBOSOL, and by the city of Chamonix Mont-Blanc.

  Given the title of the article, we wonder if the six scientists will ever be funded again by any European agencies.

  Mont Blanc is located on the border of Switzerland and France, and the summit of Mont Blanc is clearly visible from the United Nations complex in Geneva - the home of countless meetings of the IPCC and other international agencies addressing the climate change issue.

  How ironic - based on the title of the article, we doubt the research will be prominently featured in any upcoming IPCC meeting in Geneva?

  For both areas, thickness variations do not exceed ±15 m. The average changes are +2.6 m at Dôme du Goûter (please note that this glacier is growing) and -0.3 m (-12 inches) at Mont Blanc.

• Considering the uncertainty interval, i.e., ±5 m, it can be concluded that no significant thickness change is detectable over most of these areas.

  They used this in the movie twice all the while misrepresenting its growth and in fact stating it is shrinking showing a huge chunk falling off as it does every 30 minutes or so.

12. Iceland's Breidamerkurjokull glacier. Yup, it's growing, too.

The Daily Mail UK ran a story on July 31, 2009 about the horrors of global warming. It was accompanied, for some inexplicable reason, by contradictory photos that showed the remarkable growth of Iceland's Breidamerkurjokull glacier.

Their headline screamed, "How global warming is changing the face of the northern hemisphere."

The photos and caption told a story that was, you'll pardon the expression, the polar opposite of what the article described.

Breidamerkurjokull glacier in 2002	Breidamerkurjokull glacier in 2009
Breidamerkurjokull glacier Chilling reminder	Chilling reminder: An aerial view shows huge ice towers and crevasses on the glacier. "The drastic alterations have been blamed on greenhouses gases."

• Mail Online
  2009-07-31 en In pictures: How global warming is changing the face of the northern hemisphere

  Slowly but surely the Breidamerkurjokull glacier is melting away.

  This 60 mile long expanse of ice has edged from the mountains into a lagoon and over the past 30 years has shown no sign of moving back.

  Over this time professional photographer Ragnar Sigurdsson has been documenting the alarming phenomenon that has been taking place.

  In the past, the beautiful lagoon remained unfrozen even in winter except for the occasional drifting iceberg. But now, as these aerial images show, it appears like a solid mass even in the summer.

  'It is perfectly natural for a glacier to move. They tend to recede or advance in cycles but this time the tongue of the Breidamerkurjokull has come all the way down into the lagoon.'

  The disturbing changes pose little threat to structures or human life, with the nearest town over 60 miles away. But the rapid influx of ice is seen as a chilling reminder that greenhouses gases are altering the planet.

  Ragnar, 51, from Reykjavik, said: 'There is no threat of a disaster. The rate that the water rises, it would take more than 50 years for it to take the bridge but people in the area still feel it's global warming that's doing it.

  'The end result is this extra freshwater is pouring into the sea at an alarming rate.'

  Despite the beautiful appearance of the contrast in water types, the pictures will worry environmentalists across the world.

  0,4 Prozent Eisverlust - pro Jahrhundert

  Aus «Climate of Extremes» stammen auch die folgenden Informationen.

  In der Fernsehsendung «Larry King Live» mit Al Gore als Gast im Jahr 2007 wollte eine Frau wissen, wie sich der Klimawandel auf die Sicherheit der USA in den kommenden zehn Jahren auswirken würde.

  Die Horrorgeschichte, die Gore der armen Frau auftischte, klang so: «Wenn Grönland auseinanderbräche oder die Westantarktis oder die Hälfte von einem der beiden oder von beiden, hätten wir einen Anstieg des Meeresspiegels von über sechs Metern, und das würde zu mehr als 450 Millionen Klimaflüchtlingen führen.»

  Was sagt die Klimaforschung zum «Auseinanderbrechen von Grönland»?

  Der Vierte Sachstandsbericht des IPCC enthält eine Schätzung aus einem Computermodell, das eine im Vergleich zu heute fast dreimal höhere CO2-Pt-Konzentration annimmt.

  Die Schätzung ergibt, dass es unter den genannten extremen Bedingungen für einen Eisverlust von fünfzig Prozent fast tausend Jahre brauchte.

  Was sagen Satellitenbeobachtungen, die effektive Veränderungen messen?

  Im Wissenschaftsjournal Science lieferten der Nasa-Forscher Scott Luthcke und seine Co-Autoren im Jahr 2006 Zahlen.

  Satelliten massen für Grönland einen Eisverlust von 100 km3 pro Jahr.

  Die gesamte Eismasse Grönlands beträgt 2,85 Millionen km3.

  Das ergibt eine Verlustrate von 0,4 Prozent - nicht pro Jahr, sondern pro Jahrhundert.

  Auch Grönland eignet sich nicht als Ikone des Klimawandels.

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution 2010-02-16 en News Release : Team finds subtropical waters flushing through Greenland fjord Waters from warmer latitudes - or subtropical waters - are reaching Greenland's glaciers, driving melting and likely triggering an acceleration of ice loss, reports a team of researchers led by Fiamma Straneo, a physical oceanographer from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). "This is the first time we've seen waters this warm in any of the fjords in Greenland," says Straneo. "The subtropical waters are flowing through the fjord very quickly, so they can transport heat and drive melting at the end of the glacier." Greenland's ice sheet, which is two-miles thick and covers an area about the size of Mexico, has lost mass at an accelerated rate over the last decade. The ice sheet's contribution to sea level rise during that time frame doubled due to increased melting and, to a greater extent, the widespread acceleration of outlet glaciers around Greenland.

  Then, conditions worsened and the Norse colonies declined.

  After the Little Ice Age of 1650 to 1840 the ice began to vanish near Iceland and had almost disappeared when the trend reversed, disastrously crippling Icelandic fisheries last year.

  The thick ice that has for ages covered the Arctic Ocean at the pole has turned to water, recent visitors there reported yesterday. At least for the time being, an ice-free patch of ocean about a mile wide has opened at the very top of the world, something that has presumably never before been seen by humans and is more evidence that global warming may be real and already affecting climate.

  The last time scientists can be certain the pole was awash in water was more than 50 million years ago.

  'It was totally unexpected,' said Dr. James J. McCarthy, an oceanographer, director of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University and the co-leader of a group working for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is sponsored by the United Nations.

  The panel is studying the potential environmental and economic consequences of marked climate change.

  2011-03-03 en Widespread Persistent Thickening of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet by Freezing from the Base

  Abstract

  An International Polar Year aerogeophysical investigation of the high interior of East Antarctica reveals widespread freeze-on that drives significant mass redistribution at the bottom of the ice sheet.

  While surface accumulation of snow remains the primary mechanism for ice sheet growth, beneath Dome A 24% of the base by area is frozen-on ice.

  In some places, up to half the ice thickness has been added from below.

  These ice packages result from conductive cooling of water ponded near the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountain ridges and supercooling of water forced up steep valley walls.

  Persistent freeze-on thickens the ice column, alters basal ice rheology and fabric and upwarps the overlying ice sheet, including the oldest atmospheric climate archive, and drives flow behavior not captured in present models.
