Cooling for four decades
1940-1980
Thesis
The sudden halt of a strong global warming trend at
the end of 1939 was primarily caused by the war at sea in the North and
Baltic Sea for the first two years until the end of 1941. From then on
the global cooling trend, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere, was
generated by the war at sea in the mid latitudes of the North Pacific
and Atlantic.
Facts
The increased global warming, most pronounced in
Europe, that started when World War One ended, lasted only until the
Second World War started. At that time 1,000 naval vessels were ready
for combat missions. That turned Europe’s coastal waters about and
changed the global warming trend in a steady or decreasing direction.
Things got a new direction and dimension when the
United States entered the war after Pearl Harbour in December 1941. A
huge battle of material took place on all fronts and all corners of the
seas as well. Naval battles in the Pacific and submarine attacks on
convoys in the Atlantic stirred and turned huge water masses down into
great depths.
Surprisingly, the air temperature conditions in the
Norwegian and Greenland Sea remained relative stable, although the area
was not left on its own. The cooling was generated in the mid
latitudes, there where the biggest fighting and ships losses took place
and huge current systems circle the entire ocean basin. Any
modification in the seawater structure is stored over time periods of
days or generations. The immediate and medium effect for many years is
the forcing of colder water from lover sea levels to upper sea level.
The seawater temperatures in both oceans showed after
WWII similarities, which indicates, that they experienced the ‘same
stress’.
Evidence
The cooling from 1940 respectively 1942 of the global
temperature coincides perfectly with the massive naval activities
churning huge water masses about. Pending on the annual season, the
principle and overall result of turning ocean waters about is the
forcing of warm water down and colder water to the upper or surface
layer.
Conclusion
The war at sea thesis for the climatic shift in winter
1939 and cooling of the atmosphere during the subsequent four decades
is the most plausible and fact supported explanation. Oceans at war
1942-45 (4_11), and The Northern
Hemisphere Ocean Systems affected by war at sea? (4_12).
