New Research Shows The Oceans Can ‘Spontaneously’ Warm 8°C In Under 100 Years ‘Without External Trigger’
By Kenneth Richard on 17. December 2020
Scientists are increasingly finding that abrupt, decadal-scale temperature changes of multiple degrees Celsius can arise unforced and spontaneously.
The surface temperatures for the Greenland ice sheet have been known to warm 8 to 16°C “within decades or less†– yes, fewer than 10 years – due to “unforced oscillations.†In other words, no external forcing mechanism is required for these abrupt warming events (Li and Born, 2019).
Scientists (Gomes et al., 2020) examined the sea surface temperatures (SSTs) off the coasts of Lisbon in a newly published study. In addition to finding the SSTs were 5°C warmer (19.7°C vs. 14.6°C) about 11,000 years ago compared to the last millennium, they record a “sudden warming episode (in <100 years), of ~8 °C†for this region. That’s a warming of nearly 1°C per decade.
