Not clear they considered the warming ocean as separate from warming climate. “The rate at which our weather has been warming in recent years could be temporarily slowed down,” they told me. “We don’t know the exact rate at which the sea is now rising. We need long-term world-wide evidence which the International Geophysical Year may give us to assess accurately the changes that seem to be taking place in the ocean and the ice.” For snow to stop forming at higher latitudes the climate would have to heat up quite a bit.
