Arctic climate crisis

 The earth has enough for every man's need, but not for every mans greed. - Gandhi https://greta-thunberg-hero.blogspot.com Humans have behaved so arrogantly antagonistic to the rest of the entire biome, we deserve everything that we are gonna get. Hopefully there will be life forms that will eventually survive and proclaim in a loud voice that Man was NOT "the measure of all things". https://climate-crisis-data.blogspot.com Sea level rise might take a while, but we already feel the effect of changing weather patterns resulting in forest fires etc. The domino effect is in full motion.  https://arctic-climate-crisis.blogspot.com "When the forests are no more and the rivers, lakes and ocean are polluted, that's the time we will realize we cannot drink oil and eat money."  https://destroying-earth.blogspot.com Never confuse politicians with leaders. Politics is why we are where we're at. Keeping the corporate profit machine going is all that matters to poli...

UN patron of the oceans Lewis Pugh has completed what's been described as the 'coldest swim on earth' in Greenland to highlight the speed at which polar ice is melting. He completed the first multi-day polar swim ever at Ilulissat Icefjord, which is fed by the world’s fastest-moving glacier. His stark message, ahead of next month's COP26, is that without polar ice, there is no life on earth. He is right, but some people just ignore facts. Too bad, because we all will suffer even the rich.

New satellite data show the Pine Island Glacier, one of Antarctica's largest glaciers, "ripping itself apart". The unexpected loss of the ice shelf comes on top of a series of huge calving events in the last 12 months that have seen massive icebergs split away from the southern continent. Western Antarctica is particularly vulnerable because of one fatal flaw and right next door to the Pine Island Glacier is the Thwaites Glacier – or what scientists call the Doomsday Glacier. If Thwaites falls apart it could unleash the collapse of the entire ice sheet on the western half of the continent. A stat we are missing is a map showing the location of the grounding line year by year. I understood that this is detectable by looking at the surface contours of the ice. It should include the depth of the sea bottom for each contour line.

GREENLAND — In recent years, scientists have used advanced technologies like airborne radar to see how Greenland looks under its three-kilometer deep ice sheet. They found that the world’s largest island is hiding quite a few fascinating surprises. Here are the details: Live Science reports that recent scientific studies have found a number of fascinating phenomena hidden under the three-kilometer deep ice sheet that covers Greenland. One of these hidden phenomena is a huge canyon that’s almost as big as the Grand Canyon. Stretching for 740 kilometers, this hidden canyon is up to 10 kilometers wide and up to 800 meters deep in places. Another study found a massive plain in the middle of Greenland that lies below sea level. This strange depression is probably caused by the weight of the ice sheet, and it’s surrounded by a ring of hidden mountain ranges.
