Has the Age of Chaos Begun?
By Mike Davis, Tomdispatch.com. Posted October 8, 2005.
While we wait for the oft-predicted tipping point in the war on
Iraq, an actual tipping point has been creeping up on another front --
climate change.
The genesis of two category-five hurricanes (Katrina and Rita) in a row
over the Gulf of Mexico is an unprecedented and troubling occurrence. But
for most tropical meteorologists the truly astonishing "storm of the
decade" took place in March 2004. Hurricane Catarina -- so named because
it made landfall in the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina -- was
the first recorded south Atlantic hurricane in history.
Textbook orthodoxy had long excluded the possibility of such an event; sea
temperatures, experts claimed, were too low and wind shear too powerful to
allow tropical depressions to evolve into cyclones south of the Atlantic
Equator. Indeed, forecasters rubbed their eyes in disbelief as weather
satellites down-linked the first images of a classical whirling disc with
a well-formed eye in these forbidden latitudes.
In a series of recent meetings and publications, researchers have debated
the origin and significance of Catarina. A crucial question is this: Was
Catarina simply a rare event at the outlying edge of the normal bell curve
of South Atlantic weather -- just as, for example, Joe DiMaggio's
incredible 56-game hitting streak in 1941 represented an extreme
probability in baseball (an analogy made famous by Stephen Jay Gould) --
or was Catarina a "threshold" event, signaling some fundamental and abrupt
change of state in the planet's climate system?
Scientific discussions of environmental change and global warming have
long been haunted by the specter of nonlinearity. Climate models, like
econometric models, are easiest to build and understand when they are
simple linear extrapolations of well-quantified past behavior; when causes
maintain a consistent proportionality to their effects.
But all the major components of global climate -- air, water, ice, and
vegetation -- are actually nonlinear: At certain thresholds they can
switch from one state of organization to another, with catastrophic
consequences for species too finely-tuned to the old norms. Until the
early 1990s, however, it was generally believed that these major climate
transitions took centuries, if not millennia, to accomplish. Now, thanks
to the decoding of subtle signatures in ice cores and sea-bottom
sediments, we know that global temperatures and ocean circulation can,
under the right circumstances, change abruptly -- in a decade or even
less.
The paradigmatic example is the so-called "Younger Dryas" event, 12,800
years ago, when an ice dam collapsed, releasing an immense volume of
meltwater from the shrinking Laurentian ice-sheet into the Atlantic Ocean
via the instantly-created St. Lawrence River. This "freshening" of the
North Atlantic suppressed the northward conveyance of warm water by the
Gulf Stream and plunged Europe back into a thousand-year ice age.
Abrupt switching mechanisms in the climate system - such as relatively
small changes in ocean salinity -- are augmented by causal loops that act
as amplifiers. Perhaps the most famous example is sea-ice albedo: The vast
expanses of white, frozen Arctic Ocean ice reflect heat back into space,
thus providing positive feedback for cooling trends; alternatively,
shrinking sea-ice increases heat absorption, accelerating both its own
further melting and planetary warming.
Thresholds, switches, amplifiers, chaos -- contemporary geophysics assumes
that earth history is inherently revolutionary. This is why many prominent
researchers -- especially those who study topics like ice-sheet stability
and North Atlantic circulation -- have always had qualms about the
consensus projections of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC), the world authority on global warming.
In contrast to Bushite flat-Earthers and shills for the oil industry,
their skepticism has been founded on fears that the IPCC models fail to
adequately allow for catastrophic nonlinearities like the Younger Dryas.
Where other researchers model the late 21st-century climate that our
children will live with upon the precedents of the Altithermal (the
hottest phase of the current Holocene period, 8000 years ago) or the
Eemian (the previous, even warmer interglacial episode, 120,000 years
ago), growing numbers of geophysicists toy with the possibilities of
runaway warming returning the earth to the torrid chaos of the
Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM: 55 million years ago) when the
extreme and rapid heating of the oceans led to massive extinctions.
Dramatic new evidence has emerged recently that we may be headed, if not
back to the dread, almost inconceivable PETM, then to a much harder
landing than envisioned by the IPCC.
As I flew toward Louisiana and the carnage of Katrina three weeks ago, I
found myself reading the August 23rd issue of EOS, the newsletter of the
American Geophysical Union. I was pole-axed by an article entitled "Arctic
System on Trajectory to New, Seasonally Ice-Free State," co-authored by 21
scientists from almost as many universities and research institutes. Even
two days later, walking among the ruins of the Lower Ninth Ward, I found
myself worrying more about the EOS article than the disaster surrounding
me.
The article begins with a recounting of trends familiar to any reader of
the Tuesday science section of the New York Times: For almost 30 years,
Arctic sea ice has been thinning and shrinking so dramatically that "a
summer ice-free Arctic Ocean within a century is a real possibility." The
scientists, however, add a new observation -- that this process is
probably irreversible. "Surprisingly, it is difficult to identify a single
feedback mechanism within the Arctic that has the potency or speed to
alter the system's present course." An ice-free Arctic Ocean has not
existed for at least one million years and the authors warn that the Earth
is inexorably headed toward a "super-interglacial" state "outside the
envelope of glacial-interglacial fluctuations that prevailed during recent
Earth history." They emphasize that within a century global warming will
probably exceed the Eemian temperature maximum and thus obviate all the
models that have made this their essential scenario. They also suggest
that the total or partial collapse of the Greenland Ice Sheet is a real
possibility -- an event that would definitely throw a Younger Dryas wrench
into the Gulf Stream.
If they are right, then we are living on the climate equivalent of a
runaway train that is picking up speed as it passes the stations marked
"Altithermal" and "Eemian." "Outside the envelope," moreover, means that
we are not only leaving behind the serendipitous climatic parameters of
the Holocene -- the last 10,000 years of mild, warm weather that have
favored the explosive growth of agriculture and urban civilization -- but
also those of the late Pleistocene that fostered the evolution of Homo
sapiens in eastern Africa. Other researchers undoubtedly will contest the
extraordinary conclusions of the EOS article and -- we must hope --
suggest the existence of countervailing forces to this scenario of an
Arctic albedo catastrophe. But for the time being, at least, research on
global change is pointing toward worst-case scenarios.
All of this, of course, is a perverse tribute to industrial capitalism and
extractive imperialism as geological forces so formidable that they have
succeeded in scarcely more than two centuries -- indeed, mainly in the
last fifty years -- in knocking the earth off its climatic pedestal and
propelling it toward the nonlinear unknown.
The demon in me wants to say: Party and make merry. No need now to worry
about Kyoto, recycling your aluminum cans, or using too much toilet paper,
when, soon enough, we'll be debating how many hunter-gathers can survive
in the scorching deserts of New England or the tropical forests of the
Yukon.
The good parent in me, however, screams: How is it possible that we can
now contemplate with scientific seriousness whether our children's
children will themselves have children? Let Exxon answer that in one of
their sanctimonious ads.

First ever South Atlantic hurricane recorded
Media Release, Friday 23 September 2005
A new hurricane ‘Catarina’, the first ever to occur in the South Atlantic,
has been reported by Melbourne researchers.
From the University of Melbourne’s School of Earth Sciences, Dr Alexandre
Pezza and Professor Ian Simmonds warn that this unusual event could be
linked to climate change and that South Atlantic hurricanes could become
an increasing phenomenon under global warming conditions.
Distinct from hurricane Katrina that recently devastated the Gulf Coast of
the United States, Catarina was first recorded in March 2004 in the South
Atlantic close to the Brazilian coastline.
Using a state-of-the-art cyclone tracking algorithm developed at the
University of Melbourne, the researchers have documented how Catarina
matured into a Category One hurricane before battering the Brazilian
coast.
Their findings have just been reported in the international journal
Geophysical Research Letters.
Professor Simmonds says tropical cyclones, or hurricanes, are found in the
tropics of all oceans with the exception of the South Atlantic. Before
Catarina, not a single South Atlantic hurricane had ever been documented.
It had previously been thought that cool sea temperatures and great
differences in the wind in the upper and lower levels of the atmosphere
made it impossible for hurricanes to form in that region.
Catarina is forcing scientists to rethink this idea.
“Catarina was a very unusual system for the Brazilian region,” Dr Pezza
says.
“One of the unusual aspects of this tropical cyclone was that it developed
in a region where the ocean temperatures, on average, are thought too low,
and they indeed were low during the formation and evolution of the system.
“Catarina is forcing us to think more broadly on the formation of tropical
cyclones in times of change, and how they interact with our weather
systems.
“Our analysis shows that the difference in wind between the upper and
lower atmospheres off the Brazilian coast has become progressively smaller
over the last 25 years and hence more conducive to tropical cyclone
formation.”
Catarina was named after Saint Catarina State in Brazil where it hit in
March 2004. It was a very intense system with many hundreds of homes
destroyed. Although there were no reliable measurements of wind speed
along the coast, a measuring station well inland recorded about 140km per
hour.
The researchers say that their findings suggest that the probability of
more hurricanes in the South Atlantic could increase due to global
warming, but stress that at this stage, this analysis is speculative.
Dr Pezza and Professor Simmonds are collaborating with Brazilian
colleagues on Catarina and exploring the extent to which more of these
South Atlantic features may be expected in coming decades.
**A satellite image of hurricane Catarina approaching the southern
Brazilian coast at 16:39UTC on 26 March 2004 is available.
**Publication details: The first South Atlantic hurricane: Unprecedented
blocking, low shear and climate change, Alexandre Pezza and Ian Simmonds.

And what about Vince and Portugal? The paper said today that was
another record-breaker. I believe it - never have I heard a tropical
cyclone coming close to hitting Europe. We're two storms away from the
most active hurricane season in recorded time. And forecasters predict
another major hurricane in October, just as Gordon Michael Scallion
predicts a 7.0+ magnitude earthquake near Palm Springs, CA, this month
or next by the latest in his "4 Quake Scenario." If both come to pass,
I'd say it's obvious that another "coincidence" falls into place, just
like another domino, in the endless collapse of the rhythm of order.
