How Bogus Arctic Warming Attribution Enabled the Climate Crisis Scam
Jim Steele
Abnormal warming over the Arctic Ocean and Arctic sea ice loss have been falsely blamed on rising CO2. Such alarmist graphic propaganda is common similar to Yale 360’s climate alarmists pushed, emphasizing Arctic Ocean’s warming of several degrees in November 2022, while ignoring the cooling over North America and Eurasia. But any critical thinking person can see warm Arctic temperatures are due to inflows of warm Atlantic water not a CO2 climate crisis.
Earth’s surface temperatures are determined by the balance between incoming solar radiation and the earth’s net outgoing infrared radiation. Net outgoing infrared radiation is determined by the difference between outgoing infrared and the recycled infrared from the greenhouse effect.
Comparing summer July 2023 to winter January 2024, Arctic summers (illustration B) receive enough solar heating to counter net outgoing infrared and slightly raise temperatures above freezing. At the North Pole, summer temperatures reach +0.5C. Without solar radiation during the North Pole winter (illustration A), net outgoing infrared dominates the energy balance, and North Pole temperatures plummet by 33 C degrees cooling the earth. Similarly, just inside the Arctic Circle at 70 degrees north latitude over the Gulf of Boothia, summer temperatures of 1.4 C plummet by 30.8 degrees to -29.4 C.
However, that seasonal temperature dynamic is grossly different where warm salty Atlantic waters enter the Arctic. Where Atlantic waters enter the Arctic at 70 degrees north latitude, summer temperatures reach +8.1 C, and despite winter cooling, temperatures don’t drop below freezing averaging +2.5 C. The inflow of warm Atlantic waters normally transports so much stored tropical heat into that region that it raises temperatures by around 30 C higher than what would be expected from the Arctics normal greenhouse effect over insulating sea ice.
