Canuk,
Isn't it the large temperature differential between the poles and lower latitudes which keeps several cycles (incl. NAO) going?

My point being that what we're seeing may be the beginning of (one of many of) those positive feedback loops where change in one factor causes the other to change...(I think we all know the scenarios).

Yes, or may NOT be the beginning....

Regardless of cause or course (into the future), wouldn't it be nice to have a thermostat control over the earth? For whatever reason, climate changes. God has kept the planet very stable for our species infancy and adolescence. I think it's time to go out and start making our own way now.

I think we need some satellites? to either increase or decrease solar insolation in the polar regions by some small percentage of up to 1 or maybe even two percent.

Am I being too presumptious God?
Are we going to sit around waiting for the rapture, or are we going to do something?

Bring it on, I can take it!
