you tube channel Alluring Arctic has a video sailing through northwest passage last summer shows heavy smoke from the Canadian forest fires last sunner. So sad.
Many Thanks Paul great report on the Arctic..lots of changes happening very quickly i might add..I really appreciate you covering this report and sharing the links online where we can download them and make copies..Ive really been noticing the past couple of years the higher temps and also the Precipitation levels changing from mostly snow to mostly rain..As we all know Caribou and animals have a tougher time finding food when after a rain the temps drop and it turns to ice..Sure explains the Caribou herds becoming smaller as well as other animal populations..Thank you Paul and I sincerely hope Copernicus from the EU continues if the USA guts portions of NOAA climate reporting.
Nah. Humans have lived through huge climate changed before. The last 10k years of stability are the anomaly. Our current civilization is fooked. If that makes you cry, cry on.
On "Sea Ice Today" you can see the Arctic sea ice beginning to thaw already, even though it should be growing at this time of the year. Gonna be interesting to see where this is heading in the near future. Keeping in mind that the remaining ice probably is thinner and younger than ever 😅
We're waiting for the next cool southerly chill. Without them, here on the east coast, Australia it'd remain over 100° F and 13+ UV index. Thanks to Antarctic ice retreat we haven't had an extended heat wave this summer. Hooray!!. Well you take your comforts wherever you can these daze.
What's the link between antarctic ice retreat and and Australian heatwaves? Can you plz explain. I'm also in the Aussie east coast so hey mate! How are ya?
Well a water distillation unit is the only way to get relatively clean drinking water. It's not just heavy metals but PFOAS, PFAS, microplastics and more.
@@CeoraSaxophoneshonestly, i m not that worried about polluants. With how fast climate change is going, cancer in my hypothetical 50s is the least of my worries...😅 If we make it that far, it will already be an incredible victory, so wtv happens then is fine.
Yes, I now remember something similar I discussed in a different forum about sea currents back in 2008/2009, when I thought cold water would curl around warmer current that would be feeded by hot spots along. Analog to a sledge hammer thrower beeing transported forward while keeping the sledge hammer in a circle around him/her getting some energy (food) along the way, but the combined movement would describe a spiral, letting the whole thing move with less drag. A bit like tornados getting dry hot air along their paths, marking the important note of keeping the environment with highest possible relative humidity (with repaired nature and soil to feed water deep into the ground and soon back above when plants transpire), so tornados won't be so large and strong, or perhaps not appearing.
The average yearly sea ice volume and greenland ice loss being relatively stable is only due to more rain and snow, thanks to higher capacity of air to hold water due to temp increase (since cold air is often too dry). Although I don't know what they're talking about really since fig 1a greenland ice sheet report clearly shows continued mass loss of the greenland ice sheet, to pretty much the same extent.
Nothing new in the status reporting. The way the arctic air is flailing about is pretty darn impressive pushing the cold far south but otherwise just more warming. On the prairies we have enough snow cover for spring seeding but random storms and droughts don't do much for crop yields. We shall see whether we get a reprieve this year or if the temp just keeps grinding up.
It has absolutely a lot lower in the last 40 million years. And that’s not even talking about before the dinosaurs asteroid 65 million years ago or the last 770 millions years of climate history.
greenland ice loss slow down when the global warming is accelerating to me. is more evidence of amoc slow down, or/and the thepolar vortex shifting to over greenland as the arctic heats so much
Its such a shame people are not more interested in things happening around the world which isn't in their immediate vicinity. I am planning for the worst personally. Plus Tasmania is a beautiful place to live.
What does your planning consist of? How can you plan to survive the collapse of global civilisation? That's a serious question, I'm not taking the piss. I live in Melbourne, Victoria.
I think the Goldilocks zone for now is 34° South on the East Coast of Australia myself. I've been here a while waiting for the tropics to come down. That's a reality now. And soon we'll have the entire Pacific's nations arrive as climate refugees. Which is great, they're so musically talented and proud of our first nation's people. So the culture is looking up, on the bright side. And new people will get to experience the water front. And forced retreat will create artificial man made reefs. It's always easy to be negative but the joy of disruption will be both catastrophic and profoundly humanising.
I don't think it's that. The velocity of the social economy is speeding up. Imagine you are strapped into a hamster wheel. And as it speeds up, so does your pace. The hamster wheel is capitalism (the hunger for surplus), and thus is our pace (appetite). Now that Trump is using the economic weapon...we all will. Government to government, person to person.
When you think of it, giving the Arctic a "report card" is actually bloody stupid. Why that terminology for what is normally a simple situation report?

Topics that are examined for change over time from global warming include:
1) Surface Air Temperature
2) Precipitation
3) Terrestrial Snow Cover (which is very important for albedo)
4) Greenland Ice Melt
5) Sea ice (extent, area, and volume)
6) Sea Surface Temperature (SST)
7) Arctic Ocean Primary Productivity (the response of marine algae to climate warming and sea ice decline)
8) Tundra Greening with warming
9) Migratory Tundra Caribou in a warming climate
10) Arctic Terrestrial Carbon Cycling (the Arctic moving from a carbon sink to a carbon source)
11) Ice Seals of Alaska
12) The Original Researchers. Hunters are Scientists deserving Sustained Support

I look at weather.gov and looks like it is wet everywhere. Precipitation is high. Winter is moving south.
I'm sadly reminded of the movie "Don't Look Up," except in this case , "Don't Look Down."
Or all around.
@@justmenotyou3151 right on. Don’t look at ourselves or each other either
Everyone on this Planet has a labrador and white cane. How are they gunna look anywhere?
@ceeemm1901 if they removed the blindfold and ear plugs, they could get rid of the cane, but they should keep the dog.
Hello Paul. Thank you for keeping me informed.❤️

Thanks Paul. We're fooked

8 of us lived through the Flood. More will live past the 7 year trib.

In summary, we had a one year reprieve, from the ice continuing its march to Blue Ocean Event (named and defined by Paul).
@ troll
Just subscribed and it is absolutely astounding to me that for a species that is on track to self annihilatethis man has only 38k subscibers
Humans will survive climate change. 20k year ago Northern Europe was covered in an ice cap. Humans are a lot older than that
Keep in mind, if a pixel is 85% water and 15% ice, it's considered "ice covered".
Does this mean we're fucked ?
Bless the days you have warm food and some clean drink because the days it won't be so are sure coming
Yes, it does
Yep!

"Refreeze the Arctic!" Sure, coming right up.

Great work Paul
Save the Arctic! Listen to Paul! 🎉
Too late.
That was the right message.
for the 90s...
Earths albedo record low!!
It has absolutely a lot lower in the last 40 million years. And that’s not even talking about before the dinosaurs asteroid 65 million years ago or the last 770 millions years of climate history.
@ well no crap.
@@hiitsnate It was also lower 4.55 billion years ago, when it was a scorched ball of ashes and magma /s
Thanks
Thank you, Paul
Well at least that's one cute puppy
Wtv floats our boats is all that matters now. Alea jacta est.
Is that a new puppy in the thumbnail or is that just adorable Newton from time past ?!!
It is Newton from time past:)
GAME OVER
The puppy was just clickbait? Not in the video?
Yo esperaba ver al perrito 😂❤
