Let’s Talk Global Warming

Within the weather community, discussions on global warming are about as heated as it gets.

(Did I just type that?)

Let’s be honest: for 99% of us, global warming (global climate change, if you prefer) isn’t something that weighs heavily on our minds on a daily basis. If it’s happening, just turn the air conditioner up a little and all is well, right?

I’m okay with that train of thought, but if you’re one of the millions who live along the ocean (billions, perhaps?) global warming is a little more pressing of an issue.

That’s the topic of this article.

Here’s the gist of the piece:

Assuming it’s happening…one result of global warming would be increased sea levels as areas of ice melt. (If you leave a glass of ice water outside on a warm day, the water level rises once the ice cubes melt. Same idea with the Earth.)

Another result of global warming would be more water evaporated into the atmosphere. Increased moisture would translate to increased rain/snow…but curiously enough, that may actually offset the rising sea levels.

Here’s a look at everyone’s 7th favorite continent:

The map on the right shows ice growth. All the shades of orange/red in eastern Antarctica depict thickening ice sheets, while the blue shades in western Antarctica show thinning ice.

Scientists have long hypothesized that because there’s more moisture in the atmosphere more snow will fall across parts of Antarctica…now they’ve got the measurements to help support that claim. According to the article, thickening ice sheets in eastern Antarctica are slowing the effects of rising sea levels.

Interesting how Mother Nature balances herself out, isn’t it?
