Sea Level Rise Projection Planning Based on Statistical Certainty and Robustness (Never Mentioning Risk)

By Bruce Melton PEice sheets, Planning, Sea Level Rise, West Antarctic Ice Sheet

Lipscomb 2025 – Sea level rise projection planning based on statistical certainty and robust science (never mentioning risk)… Recent Antarctic-based sea level rise findings have consistently lowered future SLR amounts based on refined modeling of ice discharge mechanisms of the Antarctic Ice Sheet and Shelves. This evaluation of recent Antarctic ice loss SLR science seeks…

Risky Feedbacks – Not In Models; Understated Solutions

Risky Feedbacks – Not In Models; Understated Solutions Feedbacks are best understood by example. Austin’s 2023 ice storm that caused massive tree damage and excessive power outages was caused by a feedback. The ice storm stalled in a classic climate change-caused effect, creating a longer ice accumulation time than in our old climate. This additional…

Remember, average global warming over land is double the global average because of the cooling influence of our oceans and ice sheets, or 3.56 degrees C in December (6.4 F). and the average over the arctic is four times the global average or 7.12 C (12.8 F). Importantly, the increase in extreme temperature is far greater than the average, and extreme weather increases nonlinearly because of the basics of heat and energy physics, where a little warming does not create a little more extremeness in the weather, it creates a lot more.
