One study after another is coming to the same conclusion: the Arctic is heating up much faster than earlier research suggested

CLIMATEWIRE | One study after another is coming to the same conclusion about the rapidly warming Arctic: It’s heating up a lot faster than earlier research suggested.

In all, the study concludes, the Arctic has warmed at about four times the global average rate over the last 43 years. “Arctic amplification was not constant — it really changed in individual decades after 1970,” said Petr Chylek, a researcher at Los Alamos National Laboratory and lead author of the study.

Mark Serreze, director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center, says he’s often reluctant to “pin a number” on Arctic warming at all. The exact figure is a mutable thing, shifting with different time periods and geographic areas. Various physical processes are helping rapidly raise temperatures at the top of the world. Melting ice is among the most important.

It’s a complicated web of physical mechanisms that all relate to one another, according to Serreze of the National Snow and Ice Data Center.It’s also not likely to last forever. If Arctic amplification does slow down in the future, it’s not exactly a cause for celebration. The Arctic region will have fundamentally changed and temperatures will have already risen dramatically. The region will also likely continue on warming — just, perhaps, not at four times the global average.Models versus observations Scientists use model simulations to make projections about the future of Arctic climate change.

We’ll be fine.

Why?

How do you get “much” out of less than 1/2 a degree in 43 years?

Maybe we should learn about biomass power generation and how it is consuming the Amazon.

Professional liars like Barak Obama convinced people that sea levels are rising due to global warming then bought seafront property that would have been flooded a long time ago if what they claim was true. It's not.

Lmao I’ve seen articles from all over the globe saying the place each article came from was warming faster than anywhere else on earth. Propaganda

Just goes to show that the cause of arctic warming is much more sophisticated than the simplistic models or algorithms used by scientist today.

can't name them,eh, scientific american. more junk science. rico/nuremburg2.0

What’s happening with the Antarctic?

The Bible does say that in the End Times, Islands of the Sea will Disappear! Maybe if Man would stop Geoengineering the Weather?!

Polar ice has been expanding

Good it's really cold there.

try and be a little more scientific in your articles. How about reporting on solar minimum and sun spots as an influencer on our climate?

That is so much nonsense.

Lol I remember this scam from the 80s 🤣

Show your proof the earth has been melting and freezing for billions of years. So you tell me if have something a billion years ago.

Tell the Midwest and East Coast about how warm the Arctic is. They will probably move north!

What happens after the arctic rises in temp? What happens?

Richest people have mansions on tiny islands in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure we will be fine.

Thats American science for ya. You forgot the truth.

And nobody in the government run scientific community will admit that it has nothing to do with humans.

Good !! I am glad we walking towards human extinction

But when Jesus returns this whole world will be burned up in a fire so will the unrepentant

volcanic activity is ramping up - under ice - but blame it on Air temps..okey dokey

Be-Cause, the largest portion of the UEF i/o of the SSWs that 'instantaneously' comprise Earth flows ('gyroscopically') to exit Earth 'at' its Poles. kpc

Fake news

Science compels us to connect the dots

Yeah India and China have too many people, you think?

Yawn... Yes instead of 64 below zero it's only 63 below zero.

Surprise, surprise. Studies have found that every part of the planet is warming faster than every where else.

Then it is meant to happen. Focus on preparing rather than preventing or it'll be the death of us all.

Earth will do whatever it wants . It might even flood and we all die . I love how humans think they can control nature 🤣 They invented a great new telescope , now they think they understand the universe and can see god. You guys waste your lives on BS

Amazingly the weight of the ice deformed the Earth's mantle and it has been rebounding 1cm per year in certain areas. The oceans were 360ft lower.

Earth is 4 billion years old. Earth's climate alternates between ice ages and greenhouse periods, during which there are no glaciers on the planet. Our human emission likely is delaying the next ice age expected in 1500 years. I don't think we can survive ice 2mi thick in PA.

Lies!

GREAT news. As you know if all the sea ice melts it will raise sea levels EXACTLY 0.0mm and our biodiversity will explode with warmer temps. Great shout out!

BS

Is it true the Antarctic getting colder ?

The world needs to transition from the neoliberal derived growth based economy (more is less) to the Marxian derived ecological economy (less is more)…

Meanwhile all the rich people telling us that the oceans are rising are laughing in their ocean-front homes that they know will be just fine.

That’s worrying 🤥

'ice shelves in Antarctica have thickened by an average of 1.3 m between 2010 and 2017 as ice losses from West Antarctica are compensated by ice gains in East Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula, reversing the negative trend of the previous two decades'

Science says after LittleIceAge ended 150 years ago.... GlobalWarming is the natural result. Not ManMade Not caused by CarbonDioxide (Plant Oxygen) fridaymorning

No it is not

Totally bogus.

Make up human minds to change .

And yet the Elites keep buying multimillion dollar beachfront houses. 🤔

Unfortunately,'trusting the science' left us 'not trusting the science'

I call BS on all this global warming

The solution could be:- The released water should be consumed in other parts of the earth. Need to know quantity of released water. Based on data each country start making rain water store 1. Well Quantity per country 2. Pond in city, Jungle, Mountain 3. Society store units

EndGameWW3

Let’s create another tax for this issue.

won't this mean that some more of the land up there will be arable?

The methane release will be larger than previously predicted as well.

Who's going to tell China and India that they need to stop burning coal? China now produces much more CO2 than any country in the world. Note: Plants love CO2. The more the better. The earth is now greener than it has been in quite awhile & plants are more resistant to drought.

Oh no!!!

Everywhere is warming faster than the planet if you believe the news. Each country across the world gets news articles that their country is warming faster than average. It's quite funny when you put them all side by side.

Considering the south pole use to be covered by tropical rain forests. Not that worried. 👎 .

And we’re in deep crap! Apple sides with manufacturers in China locks out airdrop! Just more of the same old crap, no brains!

Best get to high ground!?!?

Which study is that 🤔

Strong polar vortex and warming springs, summers & autumns. What is the empirical data for the last decade I wonder. Like to see that but in layman terms so I could understand.

Bullshit!

Like it was 20 years ago?

😱😡🥺

be afraid!

Rubbish. We are in a mini ice age, to peak in 2035 ref Zharkova et al. The evidence is all in. Polar vortex mass gains, sinking seas, earth spin increasing, more snows in glaciers and more calving. You can talk carbon all you want, physics does not care. It WILL get colder.

First the glacier warms up from -10°C to 0°, the ice melts superficially, now the glacier of Greenland karstifies, then the glacier will become crumbly and brittle by 2045, by 2050, the destroyed glacial ice of Greenland will go off as an icemur, and the sealevel rise +14 m!

So?

Not true

Yeah ok. Tell that to the politicians and billionaires with beach front properties.

And will have absolutely no affect on sea levels. But it will make oil exploration easier. Good shout out!

This has been the case since the end of the last ice age.

Yeah we've known since 1910, but Pole shifts don't sell carbon credits.

Millenarianism is alive.

Effective change begins with awareness. The world is now well aware of the climate deregulation. Great that world leaders and civil societies are coming together to fix the current ecological crisis. We keep producing cost-effective tools and business models that will help.

Good I’m pro global warming. It means more plant food. We can farm where the permafrost used to be. Bring back giant plants and megafauna.

Maybe we should stop geo weather engineering programs and just let nature do her thing…

Of course it is!

This coming just after COP27 where the UN halved the warming prediction for the end of the century...

Is the Arctic ice melting from below caused by geothermal or above caused be fossil fuel. Is there warm air from China or India causing the ice to melt? Every summer I hear of Arctic ice melting in the Arctic doesn't the warm summer air and water cause melting of the Arctic

Only if you read 'studies' by zombies, and financially compromised 'researchers'. If you actually look at data, then its all one huge scam. 'scientific' 'american' is just a stupid propaganda outlet. They couldn't science their way out of a paper bag.

Earlier research suggested no summertime Arctic ice by 2012. That never happened so what gives!?

First the glacier warms up from -10°C to 0°, the ice melts superficially, now the glacier of Greenland karstifies, then the glacier will become crumbly and brittle by 2045, by 2050, the destroyed glacial ice of Greenland will go off as an icemur, like a whiskey on the rocks.

Can you show absolute proof of that? The current temperatures at the Arctic or below freezing. Much of the midwestern US and Canada is freezing right now. Try reporting real news rather than propaganda.

That's odd, the data I saw suggested that the arctic is getting cooler. So, how in the heck does 0.004% CO2 in the atmosphere raise temperatures anyway?

Early research must have got it wrong. Maybe the latest research too is incorrect ?

Notice it's warming in the areas where there is major volcanic activity! Of course it's heating up. Can't subscribe to volcanism than dismiss it's results.

Better start controling the clouds…

carly4330 But GOP says climate change is fake news.

Actually almost all studies became just like a pile of feces, and whoever conducts real research will be fought in every corner.

all of us who care about survival must take notice of climate change...Darwin noticed it as important as evolution..climate change kills on a huge scale..so if you want to help..then educate yourself how to stop it...

7 continents. 6 Live, 1 emerging, 1 gonna get ghosted and 'Who you gonna call?'. Asia Europe or North America. Science says the north pole is leading this flight, the south pole is trailing during our ever continuous rotation around the sun as it spirals around the galaxy.

what did they expect? that the Earth rotates on a perfect 90º axis?🤣🤣😂

👀

Somebody tell the Repugnicûnts.

We must run to stop this disaster

On January 14: The Tonga's underwater volcano eruption sent 50 million tons of water vapor into the atmosphere. 50 million tons of water vapor from Tonga's could warm Earth for years. Slave to volcanic activity: under water=heating underground=cooling

Literally, every biologist to geologists… yeah, that’s how it works. (E.g., cell signaling cascades!)

8 billion and rising. overpopulation

Oops

With the early research proven to be wrong by the latest research. Why would anyone believe the latest research? Maybe the people doing this research don't know what they are doing. Maybe this whole thing about the Artic warming is just nonsense. 🤣🤣🤣

Following the science shows everywhere is warming faster than everywhere else. Amazing discovery.

But why is the planet cooling?

🎶it’s the end of the world as we know it🎶😕

We are literally toast. It is too late.

On January 14: The Tonga's underwater volcano eruption sent 50 million tons of water vapor into the atmosphere. Will warm Earth for many years to come. If it was ash pushed, instead if water, we would have a cooling. Slave to volcanic activity.

Friction from 'dropping plates' momentum?

Nice! We are on the right track …

I can’t even heart this because it’s heartbreaking.

Here are a few studies. It’s hard to take anyone seriously. I was capped at 4 pictures but you can find news articles from ‘reputable sources’ on nearly any country or region that make similar claims.

I believe it's not always the surface temperature but the seismic heat generated below surface water that is the concern

Jamie_Woodward_ How is that compared to the Cambrian explosion?

Quick easy experiment..Fill a glass with ice, top up with vodka and mixer and then watch the ice melt and flood the room..... Don't worry about sea levels, drink the vodka and chill out 👍

and the powers to be are only concerned about protecting their income . . for the love of a dollar 😔

So naturally, it could return to the tropical state it was in prior to the ice caps being formed from all the gasoline and coal we were burning before they happened? Oh wait, those happened before we even knew what that stuff was .... My fault.

I would love to see that Equation. This is the equation I'm working on.

Pretty sure Peter Wadhams has mentioned this a while ago

You can really see the seasonal differences if you’ve been following sejsejlija (Cecilia Blomdahl)’s life in Svalbard over the years--especially the weather this summer. It’s deeply concerning.

This is exactly what worries me about climate science - everybody comes to the same conclusion. I like science better when everybody *doesn't* come to the same conclusion.

ice takes up more space than liquid water.

Someone is lying. You can decide who.

Been nice knowing y’all 🤝

Two similar Mobile murders one day apart – one is a capital case, the other is notTwo murders. Two child victims. Two different sets of charges. The approach by the Mobile County District Attorney’s Office to killings that occurred a day apart in May have drawn attention to the discretion prosecutors exercise in determining whether or not to bring capital murder charges. Prosecutors use different charges to intimidate people into pleading guilty, so they don't have to do too much work. They also overcharge people they really don't want to convict. People have to know the victim's rights and exercise them with the system.

The Arctic is heating up nearly 4 times faster than the whole planet, study findsScientists previously estimated that the Arctic is heating up about twice as fast as the globe overall, but a new study finds that's a significant underestimate. Loss of sea ice is one of the clearest drivers behind the rapid warming.

‘Can I Stay Sober Without Counting the Days Since My Last Drink?’SoberQuestioning: 'How did counting the days work for you, especially early on? Do you think it helped?' anamariecox responds anamariecox I wouldn't worry about the counting of days unless you're looking for something to do. For me, I'm just glad I'm sober today and plan to be tomorrow but counting days seems like added pressure. I'm not a 12 steps guy either. Just takin' it day-by-day... anamariecox Absolutely! anamariecox This whole abstinence thing seems completely counter productive, it just disincentivises responsible drinking. A single sensible drink destroys the 'achievement', so you may as well make the most of it and go on a bender because it all counts the same.
