So much attention has been given to the atmospheric carbon levels, that very few scientists have given considered the fact that there is another substantial human contribution that might actually have just as much, if not more, to do with global warming and climate change. It's humanities massive direct aquatic thermal contribution, being contributed into a water environment that has a predominant in wards direction of conduction. Temperature increases being seen around the globe down to depths of 300 meters, with some unusual thermal indicators being seen down to 1,200 meters. A condition that could not have been created by the increased atmospheric carbon levels.
The problem with the presence of the thermal accumulation, isn't temperature, as much as it has to do with the neutralization of the normal downward conduction values within the planets colder region, where the surface water temperatures are closest to that of the oceans DOW. Which is naturally due to the reduced level of sun light.
When scientists openly admitted that the planetary ice was melting over ten times faster than their CO2 related predictions, and acted unsure as to why that was happening. I decided to do an experiment surrounding my suspicions regarding mankind's aquatic thermal contribution, which I'd suspected could have been altering the fragile conduction values within the planets colder regions, where its the weakest and most vulnerable.
I decided to do an experiment to simulate the neutralization of the normal down wards direction of conduction, like that found in the oceans colder regions. To simulate the conduction value, I took a five gallon bucket, filled it with 34 degree water, and then set it into a shorter and wider container that I'd put a couple inches of ice and water in, and had also sprinkled with salt to increase the rate of ice melt to drive the temperature in that shorter container down further. This created a downward direction of conduction within the large container. I then placed a measured ice cube on the surface of the water and timed how long it took for that ice cube to melt. It took 90 minutes. I then removed the bucket from the smaller container to neutralize the downward direction of conduction, waited 15 minutes and then set a another measured ice cube on the surface and timed how long it took for it to completely melt away. This time it only took the ice cube 7.5 minutes to melt away. Twelve times faster. The same rapid rate witnessed by the scientists who were confused by this phenomena in the arctic.
In my opinion, it is a huge mistake to ignore this massive thermal contribution, since it has also resulted in an accumulation. And warmer ocean waters mean larger storms.
The recent indication of the antarctic potentially cooling and the arctic still warming, is simply a short term phenomena, created by the massive volumes of deep water ice that has melted away, thus creating a tempory cooling within the oceans. But once that cooling has been neutralized or absorbed, there will be substancial spiking up in the ocean temperatures once again. This time there will not be any deep water ice left to help offset the suns solar contribution. Think about it. The increased levels of thin surface ice could never compare to the cooling potential created by the massive volumes of deep water ice that has been lost.
