Arctic climate crisis

The UN has named the month of June as ‘World Ocean's Month’ and so this video is titled Our Polar Oceans in Peril. The polar oceans are the Arctic and Southern/Antarctic oceans. This video was recorded on June 18th, 2021 and published on June 30th, 2021. Dr. Peter Carter, Paul Beckwith and Regina Valdez will discuss why the polar oceans play such a critical role in the climate system of our planet. They focus mainly on the Arctic ocean and various feedback mechanisms leading to further warming, sea level rise, and harm to the ecosystem. Further highlights include: - The reason we’ve enjoyed a relatively stable climate over the last 10,000 years allowing us to produce an abundance of food to support and build our civilization - Quantification of the Earth’s ice imbalance leading to a loss of 7.6 trillion tonnes of Arctic sea ice along with 0.9 trillion tonnes of Antarctic sea ice - The stunning fact that the heat being retained by the climate system has doubled over the last 14 ye...

Dr. Steve Zornetzer former NASA discusses the current state of arctic sea ice and the impacts on global warming. The sea level is rising simply by the fact that water expands the hotter it becomes. When the ocean's waters heat up this phenomenon adds to the overall height of the increase. "...if we could do that..." Translated means we can't and we won't. Tiny, floating glass beads harmless? Sure. What could go wrong? The expression "Grasping at straws." comes to mind.... Imagine being so naive as to believing Biden will do anything that might hamper the profit margins of his big oil donors. Just over ten minutes in and here we go with geo-engineering. Ever read about the butterfly effect? Just over eleven minutes in and here we go with the temporary fix so we can develop alternatives.... Nope, just kick that can down the road. No solid sea-ice is the problem. If it becomes a mixture of water and ice the Arctic is locked in the latent heat phase. I can s...

We are losing our Cryosphere on this Earth. The Earth is becoming a much warmer place and the consequences will be profound in how it will affect humanity. Join Dr. Peter Carter, Paul Beckwith and Regina Valdez as they discuss the critical state of our cryosphere and its impact on our climate systems. What is the cryosphere comprised of and what are the effects of its changes on our climate? Highlights include Arctic and glacier ice melt, albedo reflectivity, sea-level rise, photosynthesis and food security. Our panel discussion also highlights the thawing of permafrost and the impact of the release of methane, which is an abundant greenhouse gas. This video was recorded on March 19, 2021 and is a republished version of a video originally published on March 27, 2021. We're not going to get through to enough of the doubters and deceivers to save enough for future generations of humans and nonhumans. Humanity has proven itself to be the equivalent of the biblical "horde of l...

Scientists are warning that we might reach an irreversible tipping point for global warming in the arctic. The stark message came from the leader of a yearlong expedition to the polar region. International climate scientist Durwood Zaelke weighs in. Maybe, if, hopefully. What other words are there to inspire confidence in our response to all this?
