Some warming is certain, but the degree will be determined by cycles involving melting ice, the oceans, water vapour, clouds and changes to vegetation and plants.

一定程度的气候变暖是确定无疑的，但其程度将由冰的融化、海洋、水蒸气、云和植物的变化等循环过程所决定。

Dr Marsden reckons the technique might even improve understanding of how water from melting ice caps will affect ocean currents, including the Gulf Stream.

ECONOMIST: Lagrangian coherent structures

That is both because ice is melting and because the water is warming, causing it to expand.
