Claim: Melting Sea Ice Increases Arctic Precipitation, Complicates Climate Predictions
23rd December 2015
The melting of sea ice will significantly increase Arctic precipitation, creating a climate feedback comparable to doubling global carbon dioxide, a Dartmouth College-led study finds.
“The increases of precipitation and changes in the energy balance may create significant uncertainty in climate predictions,” says lead author Ben Kopec, a PhD candidate in Dartmouth’s Department of Earth Sciences.
The findings appear in the journalProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. A PDF is available on request.
In other words, ‘climate models’ that predict disaster aren’t as good as the enviro-Nazis claim they are.
