And in many of the 'global warming' reserch groups are those that are
looking at 'anoxic' ocean regons in the ocean as bad side effects of
global warming. In a geologic perspective it is exactly the
environment
that sequestered so much carbon as coal. These regions and processes
may be critical in keeping the lid on CO2 in the atmosphere.
As for the north polar cap it would be interesting to model the
warm water
flow of the Japan Current as it encounters the Bering Strait. Only
53 Miles
wide the warm water flow change into the artic with less than a
meter rise
in the sea level would be large (%age) and have a butterfly effect
on the artic.
On the converse, a probject to place a meter+ thick gravel flow
barrier would
be an engineering project akin to a railroad ballast 53 miles long
(easy).
With GPS locators dredge/ fill/ rock could be placed with precision
to this end and PERHAPS
reverse the shrinking of the artic ice sheet and increase the
albedo of
the earth and perhaps restoring the status quo in this regard.
Of course as usual such a barrier has some political implications.
Putin's building 5 new aircraft carriers not even days after oil was
found underneath the northpole
with a russian flag on the bottom already.
If there is ice once again over there how is he gonna get out the oil
out of there?
OK grosly simplified but there are not many environmental pinch points
with as much global leverage.

Others are thinking about this. But are they able to modeling it?
What we need is accurate calculations.
All the accuracy goes to military currently not to climate modelling
it seems. Why is that?
Politicians just 4 years to power each one of 'em?

Found me a new hat, now what?
PS: the critical point that the Bering Strait might play here was
first expressed to me by Ed McCullough then dean of Geology at the
University
of Arizona c. 1969.
