british weather and Arctic sea ice melt

If you thought the last few years have been tough times to be designing or building gardens due to unpredictable weather patterns, this doesn't make very cheerful reading. http://www.monbiot.com/2012/08/27/the-heat-of-the-moment/. George Monbiot describes the effect of melting of the Arctic sea ice on our weather patterns, and how this could underlie the greater extremes we have been experiencing in recent years.

    Here's an informative seqway from the BBC Weather on this subject.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/19362809

    What is not mentioned is this is part of a 'normal' 60-70 year cycle, however detailed records / satellite pictures have only been kept since 1979.

    The key debate is what is affecting this cycle - how much is the natural cycle vs how much is "man made".

    Estimates range from worst case : 30% natural/normal vs 70% 'man made' causes, to a 100% natural/normal cycle.

    The argument sits between these extremes and thus ultimately who is right and what needs to happen.

  • The only model of climate change that I ever liked was the one that had Northern Ireland as the new Riviera  within 10 years, still 5 years to go before it expires.
