Do you have any reference for an IPCC claim that global warming will cause deeper cooling??? I've not seen it, though I've read all the IPCC summaries. Reference, please.
- jakethedog 12y agoIt is not deeper cooling in the global average temperature but periods of intense cold during the winter. There is debate in the scientific community with some arguing that melting sea ice causes an increase in frequency of polar vortex events while others think these events are controlled by pacific ssts.
- astrodust 12y agoMelting polar ice is really screwing with the jetstream and that's altering winter weather patterns pretty severely.
- josho 12y agoIn the last few years many in north america we were introduced to a new phrase 'polar vortex' which has been unstable and resulted in colder winter storms, yet as I understand a milder winter overall. Read more here on it's relation to climate change http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science_and_impacts/science/cold-snow-climate-change.html http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science_and_impacts/sci... Regardless you are getting hung up on 'colder', the key is more extreme weather. To that point the IPCC does mention more extreme storms, if you want a reference googling that yourself will bring up plenty. I'll assume you live in sunny California and extreme weather to you means rainstorms not crazy ass cold polar vortex dumps of snow and ice.
