Europe’s mild winters, due to offshore wind-farms, shipping and fishery?
Europe’s mild winters, due to offshore wind-farms, shipping and fishery?
Abstract:
The winter 2014/15 was no winter in Northern Europa. In Europe the mean average temperature during the last century has risen by 0.9°C. In the last 30 years the tendency of warming per decade with about 0.41°C was significantly higher than the global mean of +0.17°C. Warming in central and northern Europe was very strong and winter temperatures rose faster than summer temperatures, and water temperatures in the North Sea and Baltic increased more than in other oceans. Can anthropogene activities between the English Channel and the Gulf of Finland be made partly responsible? Presumably yes! Stirring hot coffee will cool it down. At the end of August the sea areas have gained their maximum potential of warmth. Many ship propellers are plowing through the sea stirring the surface layer to a depth of 15 meters and more. In the North Sea and Baltic, ten thousand and more motor ships are simultaneously at sea. Several thousand offshore facilities on the bottom of the sea or anchored offshore rigs divert currents at sea and influence tides and currents as a permanent resistance against the normal flow of huge amounts of ocean water. The result is like stirring hot liquids. Warm water will come to the surface and the heat will supply the atmosphere with warmth. The air will become warmer and the winters will be milder. The correlation is not to be overseen. It is not relevant to climate research and agencies allowing offshore structures and they are neglecting such evaluations.
Summary: The facts are conclusive. “Global Climate Change” cannot cause a special rise in temperatures in Northern Europe, neither in the North Sea nor the Baltic or beyond. Any use of the oceans by mankind has an influence on thermo-haline structures within the water column from a few cm to 10m and more. Noticeable warmer winters in Europe are the logical consequence.
