Does the SPIEGEL got it?
Posted 26 September 2010
 Alex
Bojanowski at Germany’s online concludes in a Der
Spiegel reports here that “new study shows one thing: The
influence of the oceans is greater than previously thought.” Does
the SPIEGEL now understands that the climate change debate needs to
focus on the ocean? That remains to be seen. Actually the PIEGEL
report is about a new
paper in NATURE,
(23. Apet.2010) about a cooling in the North Atlantic from 1968-1972
that shall have significantly effected the Northern Hemisphere air
temperatures, more
details and comments HERE.
The
SPIEGEL report was reviewed by P
Gosselin on 24. September 2010, at: notrickzone.com,
by drawing attention the following SPIEGEL texts:
___Now it turns out that the theory is incomplete.
___A sudden cooling of the oceans in the northern hemisphere played the
decisive role in the drop of air temperatures.
___A huge amount of energy was taken out of the oceans. The scientists
said that it was surprising that the cooling was so fast.
___This shows, again, that the climate simulation models used for
predicting the future are inadequate. It’s not sure what caused the
oceans to cool.
___But scientists are sure that aerosols were not the cause.
___Der Spiegel describes a possible scenario how the oceans may have
cooled:
·
Huge
amounts of melt water from Greenland’s glaciers poured into the Atlantic
at the end of the 1960s, and formed a cover over the ocean.
·
The melt
water cooled the ocean for one thing, and acted to brake the Golf Stream,
which transports warm water from the tropics and delivers it to the north.
·
The
result: the air also cools down
___But,
as Spiegel reports, that hardly explains why there was also cooling n the
north Pacific.
___Der Spiegel: The scientists will have to refine their
climate simulations. The new study shows one thing: The influence of the
oceans is greater than previously thought.
The
most the SPIEGEL seem to grasps is rudimentary, as it is widely
acknowledged that there had been a lasting global cooling over three
decades from 1940 to the mid 1970s, and ocean cooling can happen
quickly at any time and everywhere, a the mean ocean temperature is
less than 4°C. What needs no to be acknowledged, that the start of
the global cooling coincided with World War II, and the naval war
during this period of time may have significantly shifted the air
temperature trend in the North Atlantic and North Pacific as discussed
in ppt (~ 3,5 MB each): HERE-Atlantic
and HERE-Pacific,
or see: http://climate-ocean.com/
However
the SPIEGEL did a small step in the right direction, which will
improve, hopefully.

The
two countries close to the North Atlantic show both a small
cooling throughout the years from 1940 to 1970, surprisingly not
during the winter months January & February, while all other
periods indicate a warming trend |
