How Debunking ‘Atlantification’ Helps Us See Geothermal Climate Forcing

Written by John O'Sullivan on July 16, 2018. Posted in Current News

Geologist Edward Kamis, in ‘Geological Activity Not ‘Atlantification’ Altering Arctic’ does an excellent job debunking Arctic man-made global warming fears. But evidence shows there is more to this story – human exploitation of geothermal heat is a clue (see image above).

American geology expert Edward Kamis rightly shows that geological forces, not ‘Atlantification’ are more credible climate impacts. His analysis fits with the ideas of another American geologist (see below) who  recognizes geothermal forcing as a much-overlooked climate player.

Arthur Viterito, a professor of Geography of the College of Southern Maryland, is a leading figure in identifying how certain hitherto overlooked geothermal effects appear to be an important influence on climate change. Like Kamis, he sees past the ham-fisted claims of government climate experts.

The latest junk science buzzword ‘Atlantification’ is rightly exposed as hand-waving pseudo-science that touts an unspecified atmospheric process that somehow gathers, focuses, and increases the temperature of a limited portion of the Arctic atmosphere; all without data or rigorous application of physics and chemistry.

In his latest article posted on climatechangedispatch.com Kamis scientifically trashes that pile of garbage. Yet Kamis has missed a trick in not reconciling how the observed data is a better fit for the theory of another veteran US geologist, Arthur Viterito.

Viterito and fellow researchers at Principia Scientific International (PSI) have identified that Earth has a natural geothermal reactor beneath the surface where 800,000 cubic miles of Uranium and 1.2 million cubic miles deep,  Thorium are in play.

As Joseph A Olson notes,

“This is subject to extreme heat, pressure and variable particle bombardment, resulting in variable fission rates from the rote indoctrination, surface half-life ‘constants’. In addition, all metallic series elements are subject to fission by Bridgeman Effect, under 50,000 Atmospheres of pressure, in the presence of Hydrogen.”

PSI co-founder Olson endorses Viterito’s analysis, which is explained in ‘The Correlation Of Seismic Activity And Recent Global Warming.’

Speaking about how Kamis has adroitly debunked ‘Atlantification’ Viterito offers the additional commentary:

“Interestingly, Kamis got the right mechanism…..geothermal heat…..but he missed the relevant thermodynamics. The real dynamic is that geothermal heat from below will ONLY convect to the surface through a process known as thermobaric convection. That occurs on or near shelf areas in the Arctic and Antarctic when the thermocline is absent (winter/spring). It’s driven by the cooling of surface water pulling the COLDER surface water downward. Hydrostatics dictates that the warmer waters from below are drawn upward to replace the descending colder water. Only then does geothermal heat directly warm the surface. I do cite this in my papers. That said, the MAIN driver is the intensification of AMOC, a process confirmed by both modeling and observational studies.“

Professor Viterito, like many independent scientists, acknowledges that Earth’s climate is a remarkably “noisy” system, driven by scores of oscillators, feedback mechanisms, and radiative forcings.

He writes:

“Amidst all this noise, identifying a solitary input to the system (i.e., HGFA MAG4/6 seismic activity as a proxy for geothermal heat flux) that explains 62{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} of the variation in the earth’s surface temperature is a significant finding.”

Hopefully Edward Kamis and other leaders in the field of geological impacts on climate will welcome Professor Viterito’s discovery that the 1997/1998 SIENA was a strong signal for subsequent global warming, and this type of seismic jump may provide valuable predictive information.

Viterito adds:

“Conversely, if seismic activity gaps downward, this may indicate the onset of a cooling period. Future research clearly needs to incorporate seismic and geothermal inputs into global climate models. The climate community should also begin to explore the impacts of geothermal flux on poorly understood feedbacks, such as Antarctic glacial retreat [40], water vapor, clouds, and the release of methyl hydrates.”
