Study finds sinking tundra surface unlikely to trigger runaway permafrost thaw
“Improved drainage results in a drier landscape over a decadal timescale, and the process then becomes self-limiting,” said Scott Painter, who leads the Watershed Systems Modeling group at ORNL.
Allow Children to Learn About the Arctic Without Terrifying Them with Fantasies of Climate Catastrophe
Children need to be allowed to learn without being used as pawns in an adult political battle.
Arctic Ice at Decade-High Level: Can Doomsayers Explain?
With ice coverage for July and August remaining above the 10-year average of 2010-20, the extent of summer sea ice in the Arctic has surprised experts who once predicted that…
Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute Sees No Extreme Situation with Arctic Sea Ice
The ice cover in September will be with a great probability in the range of the last years, i.e. between 4 and 5 million square kilometers.
Since 2000 The Arctic’s Hudson Bay Has Cooled -0.35°C With 10 Of 15 Sites Gaining Sea Ice
From the NoTricksZone By Kenneth Richard on 7. July 2022 A new study (Gupta et al., 2022) indicates that from 2000-2019 73% of the 15 sites considered have been cooling and 67% have…
MSM Scares Themselves, Confuse ‘Unprecedented’ Weather Model Temperature Spikes with Actual Temperatures
Scientists (and journalists) that use those terms might be better off keeping a lid on their opinions until they have real data to confirm their “unprecedented” claims. Carl Sagan rightly…
Claim: Permafrost peatlands approaching tipping point
Researchers warn that permafrost peatlands in Europe and Western Siberia are much closer to a climatic tipping point than previous believed.
Thawing Permafrost Could Leach Microbes, Chemicals Into Environment
The hope is that using measurements from a combination of platforms will help scientists create a fuller picture of changes at the poles, where permafrost is thawing the fastest.
Monitoring Arctic Permafrost with Satellites, Supercomputers, and Deep Learning
“The ice wedges form from the freezing and melting of soil in the tundra,” said Liljedahl. “Some of them are tens of thousands of years old.”
Attenborough fibbed about hundreds of dead walrus because he wanted what the WEF wants
As I point out in my new book, Fallen Icon, David Attenborough devised a three year campaign on the falsehood that hundreds of Russian walrus died falling off a cliff due…
Arctic Ocean Warming Began Already In Early 20th Century, Meaning Natural Factors Strongly At Play, Not CO2
But all of a sudden at the start of the 20th century, you get this marked change in temperature and salinity—it really sticks out
Mediterranean Weather In The Arctic
And apart from the exceptional temperature last year and in 1988, there is no evidence that Siberian summers are getting hotter in overall terms.
University of Manitoba Publishes an End of Snow Prediction
As Russian Arctic towns struggle with an unexpected early hard freeze, and Northern Europe struggles with harsh temperatures, climate scientists have announced that rain will dominate Arctic snow events by…
Early Arctic Freeze Threatens to Strand Ships.
Some 20 ships are either stuck or struggling to sail, as waters in the East Siberia Sea froze earlier than in recent years
Black carbon aerosols heating Arctic: Large contribution from mid-latitude biomass burning
he year-to-year spring variation in Arctic black carbon (BC) aerosol abundance is strongly correlated with biomass burning in the mid-latitudes. Moreover, current models underestimate the contribution of BC from biomass…
How the Sun Controls Arctic Ice and Temperatures part 3
Part 3 on controls on Arctic sea ice. Although sunspot cycles do not add enough energy to explain the Arctic’s warming, the sun and sunspot cycles do explain redistribution of…
Researchers find the dynamics behind the remarkable August 2018 Greenland polynya formation
“We found that the thinnest sea ice cover in August since 1978 and the modest southerly wind were responsible for the formation and maintenance of this polynya.” said leading author…
Celebrate: We’ve Finally Hit an “Irreversible” Climate Tipping Point
According to Professor Markus Rex, we have finally crossed the line – though years of well funded research are required to confirm that we have messed up the planet.
Claim: Permafrost carbon feedbacks threaten global climate goals
From the PNAS Abstract Rapid Arctic warming has intensified northern wildfires and is thawing carbon-rich permafrost. Carbon emissions from permafrost thaw and Arctic wildfires, which are not fully accounted for…
Russia Urges the World to Consider the Arctic as an Alternative to the Suez Canal
Russia wants nations to take up its offer to smash channels through the Arctic with its nuclear icebreaker fleet, to reduce global shipping dependency on the Suez Canal.
Study suggests great earthquakes as cause of Arctic warming
MOSCOW INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS AND TECHNOLOGY Research News A researcher from MIPT has proposed a new explanation for the Arctic’s rapid warming. In his recent paper in Geosciences, he suggests that…
Claim: Arctic Ocean–climate change is flooding the remote north with light – and new species
At that time, scientists assumed the polar night was utterly uninteresting. A dead period in which life lies dormant and the ecosystem sinks into a dark and frigid standby mode.…
Rivers melt Arctic ice, warming air and ocean
A new study shows that increased heat from Arctic rivers is melting sea ice in the Arctic Ocean and warming the atmosphere.
