Global Warming Leads to More Carbon Sinks
Guest “For peat’s sake!” by David Middleton Are new carbon sinks appearing in the Arctic? 5.5.2022 Helsingin yliopisto Global warming can result in the spread of peatland vegetation in the…
Sea ice average for March is the metric used to compare to previous winters
Overall, nothing spectacular in terms of change compared to last few years: still lots of ice for polar bears to hunt upon for newborn seals, which they will be doing…
Solar energy explains fast yearly retreat of Antarctica’s sea ice
Unlike other aspects of its behavior, Antarctic sea ice is just following simple rules of physics.
Claim: Arctic Winter Warming Causes Cold Damage in the Subtropics of East Asia
Arctic warming causes temperature anomalies and cold damage thousands of kilometers away in East Asia.
Deep freeze in Arctic Europe sends power prices soaring
It’s so cold, even Norwegians refuse to ski!
Satellites Reveal Arctic Rivers are Changing Faster than We Thought
New analysis integrating data from satellites, river gauges and hydrologic models reveals Arctic rivers are discharging much more water than previously thought. Peer-Reviewed Publication UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST AMHERST, Mass.…
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 do higher waves cause more ice clouds? Researchers claim expedition into arctic sea explains
Scientists explain the peculiar interplay that exists between sea-ice decline, wave height, and ice cloud formation over the Arctic
CLAIM: Global Warming is Causing More Severe Winters
They predicted colder winters, right? And warmer winters. Climate scientists are dashing for “The Day after Tomorrow” insurance policy, after a “cold blob” broke off the Arctic.
3. 2.. 1… Claim: Severe Winter Storms Caused by Global Warming
Hold the wind turbines; According to climate scientist Judah Cohen, the uptick in winter storms over the last decade was caused by the global warming in the Arctic.
Nares Strait Ice Arches
Both 2007 and 2019 were identical in having no arches formed. Whilst 2017 and 2018 were comparable to 2008. It is not statistically possible to draw significance from such a…
Perhaps the dumbest article title ever: “The Arctic hasn’t been this warm for 3 million years”… AEUHHH???
Guest “you can’t fix stupid” by David Middleton The sad thing is that this was apparently written by two geoscience professors. The Arctic hasn’t been this warm for 3 million…
The Arctic “Death Spiral”: Lamenting the Collapse of a 4000 Year Old Ice Shelf
The Guardian wants you to weep for an ice shelf which even they admit didn’t exist back when the Egyptian Pyramids were being constructed. They demand we do everything in…
The Ozone Hole Returns to Both Poles
Some years ago, relating to a project I was carrying out, I asked the Max Planck Institute and Cambridge University –both experts in this field-if it were possible that Antarctic…
Global change ecologist leads NASA satellite study of rapid greening across Arctic tundra
As Arctic summers warm, Earth’s northern landscapes are changing. Using satellite images to track global tundra ecosystems over decades, a team of researchers finds the region has become greener as…
A snapshot of melting Arctic sea ice during the summer of 2018
A study appearing July 29 in the journal Heliyon details the changes that occurred in the Arctic in September of 2018, a year when nearly 10 million kilometers of sea…
Arctic Ocean changes driven by sub-Arctic seas
New research explores how lower-latitude oceans drive complex changes in the Arctic Ocean, pushing the region into a new reality distinct from the 20th-century norm.
Arctic plants may not provide predicted carbon sequestration potential
The environmental benefits of taller, shrubbier tundra plants in the Arctic may be overstated, according to new research involving the University of Stirling.
CLAIM: 100 degrees in Siberia? 5 ways the extreme Arctic heat wave follows a disturbing pattern
The Arctic heat wave that sent Siberian temperatures soaring to around 100 degrees Fahrenheit on the first day of summer put an exclamation point on an astonishing transformation of the…
Arctic Ocean acidification worse than previously expected
University of Bern The Arctic Ocean will take up more CO2 over the 21st century than predicted by most climate models. This additional CO2 causes a distinctly stronger ocean acidification.…
NASA’s ICESat-2 Measures Arctic Ocean’s Sea Ice Thickness, Snow Cover
From NASA May 14, 2020 Arctic sea ice helps keep Earth cool, as its bright surface reflects the Sun’s energy back into space. Each year scientists use multiple satellites and…
New research first to relate Antarctic sea ice melt to weather change in tropics
Diminishing sea ice translates to warmer ocean, more rain, and stronger trade winds University of California – San Diego Arctic and Antarctic ice loss will account for about one-fifth of…
NASA Flights Detect Millions of Arctic Methane Hotspots
