With the reflective ice on the Arctic Ocean melting, the sun is now cooking our oceans, and we have already gone past the tipping point. Burning sulphur in the stratosphere (equally in both hemispheres, of course) is just a band-aid response. What we need to do is shut down the gulf steam ocean currents. The disruption to European agriculture would be enormous. It isn't clear that with our higher atmospheric CO₂, that even this would cause the Arctic Ocean winter ice to return to its original extent.
A 14°C warm up is where we're headed in the 22nd century. We should put as many species of tropical coral, fish, and associated microbes in cool water sanctuaries before they are lost forever.
Do you think global warming is a fraud?
