Greening Rates in both Antarctica and the Arctic are Accelerating as Global Warming Spikes Upwards
Plants are now growing closer and closer to both the North Pole and the South Pole.
A new peer-reviewed paper shows how much plant growth has occurred in the past few years on the Antarctica Peninsula.

Title: Sustained greening of the Antarctic Peninsula observed from satellites
Abstract:
The Antarctic Peninsula has experienced considerable anthropogenic warming in recent decades. While cryospheric responses are well defined, the responses of moss-dominated terrestrial ecosystems have not been quantified. Analysis of Landsat archives (1986-2021) using a Google Earth Engine cloud-processing workflow suggest widespread greening across the Antarctic Peninsula. The area of likely vegetation cover increased from 0.863 km2 in 1986 to 11.947 km2 in 2021, with an accelerated rate of change in recent years (2016-2021: 0.424 km2 yr−1) relative to the study period (1986-2021: 0.317 km2 yr−1). This trend echoes a wider pattern of greening in cold-climate ecosystems in response to recent warming, suggesting future widespread changes in the Antarctic Peninsula’s terrestrial ecosystems and
their long-term functioning.

You know it's bad when Paul uploads so frequently. Thank you, Paul. Hi, Newton!
Thanks Paul
It's going much faster than anticipated. One day we will see food shortages in the developed nations.
And water
The supermarket shelves in the UK are getting smaller and they keep rearranging stuff. So many things we are used to are unavailable. It's already happening. They just hope we don't notice.
@@juliebarks3195 I haven't noticed that. I'm South-East.
I can't imagine a stable world after 2030

Derby way. Other people have mentioned it to me. The cheese selection is well down and meat in Sainsbury's.
I remember 8-10 years ago that there was a wingless fly that lived in the moss in Antartica and they became extinct, because the place was heating up so the moss died.
New mosses now, hopefully new 🪰 friends too
I don't think that plant and animal species adapting to climate change by migration should be called invasive.
It's a repeating pattern. _"When it is from outside - it is hostile and has to be removed"_
Nationalized, Borders in Brain -> Stable Winners for 200 year not able to think "Change" ...and so on :))
I totally agree. The concept of invasive species is almost meaningless now.
depends if we can make economic value out of them.
@@PaulHBeckwith Agree with both of you. If you can, sure, avoid invasives, and hopefully they can survive the changes - but if we can outpace things by using bamboo, willow, even Creeping Charlie and kudzoo to sequester carbon? It's something, and I'm not going to dismiss that. Heck, kudzoo is even edible. And we've been making everything from bamboo and wiillow for centuries.
In the desert west an entire unique species of mule deer and desert bighorns have gone totally extinct because of the invasion of Cheat Grass into their range. The native flora they survived on was crowded out by the invasion of the completely nutritionless foreign grass and they all starved to death. The invasion of exotic species is not without consequence.
I bet the billionaires are re-thinking their bunker locations now... lol
Gross !!! Geo
engineering out of fear and believing we can live underground’s !
The ignorance
It's fascinating/disturbing that the algae growing is helping to establish a food chain.
We like food webs 🕸 😋
Oh! So glad to see Newton!
There is also a major effort to bring forests back to Greenland.
Like when the Vikings moved there in the 11th century?
@@MarlinWilliams-ts5uleven higher latitude test plots are being tested
This "greening of Greenland" positive thang.......Don't you think it's gunna be a tad crowded with 8 billion+ people crammed onto Greenland......
Current temp Arctic: -27°F
Current temp Antarctic: -68°F
We are toast. 😢
Yay, Newton!
Its been interesting to follow Jason Box's reports on Greenland's ... greening
Nice job
Hi Newton! ❤. Thanks Paul! ✌🏻
The boreal forest has to burn down, permafrost thaw followed by a rain forest
Rainforest is highest biodiversity 😇
4:10 BURYING THE LEDE, the scientist *’warn that invasive species could arrive!’* Burying the melting, destabilizing 😢 Antarctic crisis
Oh baby you know the truth
Look at fast it’s going down dude
Yo
Go have some Phun
Before we are all gone
10-06-24 It's a 115° today in Palm Springs, California. Our 60 days long spring heat wave was absolutely brutal, peaked at 124°
I'd be more alarmed if Douglas Fir Springs was 115 🌴
Don't let a cat upstage you! Hallo Newton. Be good.
They should put every ""invasive"" species like bamboo in europe down there and create a unique foodchain/ecosystem
I'm not gonna say which group of people but you know they already have real estate in antarctica to sell to people
Really?
@@christinearmingtonhow much of an investment are you trying to make here?
Reduced sea ice makes the islands more habitable 🏝
Wind coming in off southern ocean is balmy 31F
Cheering for the hardy mosses 📣
Awe Mr. Newton!
Newton!
He's a video star
That an Aran Island cardigan your wearing Paul?
I've just completed some research. I've found that if a myth is repeated enough, 50% of Americans and 95% of Canadians will begin to believe it.
sad russian troll
I love newtons collar hes such an icon
Is this good news?
Nope.
Yep
No.
❤Newton. When are the dinosaurs arriving? 😊
♪♪ Greening of the poles, greening of the poles

In this house we celebrate all mosses
Yeah, we got it before the 3rd line....
The greening of the polar regions is good.
Fantastic news. More plant life worldwide means more potential carbon sinks.
LOL! I think you'll understand it all a bit better when you get to high school, haha.
@@ceeemm1901 I've already graduated. Probably long before you.
A green polar heath is better than an icy cold wasteland Anytime.
That's not genius thinking Just Common Sense.
youre clearly a russian troll who is avoiding their jobs.
saying what you said is a sheer expression of stupidity... or your daily russian behavior
@@DanielWatson-vv7cd So your happy with the swap ?....I mean just as a start ALL the tropical coral is gone from the florida keyes...20-30 years of trying to keep it alive...all dead now. And the GBR will be gone within the next few years.
Some algae and some moss..doesn't really make up for the collapse of large sections of the ocean food web.
But you do whatever it takes to make you believe everything is fine, rather than accept the reality.
No, it's not a good thing. What's happening is a disaster for the planet, because such rapid changes will cause a lot of extinctions.
First. Algo boost!

OK so Paul I've noticed during this post OK that you've caught the OK disease, OK. Now don't be alarmed OK but it might take over your speech patterns OK, dinner table conversations OK, and other incoherent rambling OK, which thankfully you aren't a massive victim of OK. But keep an eye on this one OK
not bad ..part of cycle...we know cycle..release of gasses going be huge..then it rapidly cools..might be dead..but cycles go on
When knowledge becomes meaningless, at best.

Speak louder please, we don't hear you well
Climate crisis. Hahahaha!! I like a green Earth. Lots of extra oxygen to breathe. Hide under your beds, everybody!
You must know it's not that simple right? Most oxygen is produced in the oceans anyway, and anything affecting that ecosystem has the potential to really mess things up.
@@irreverend_
Give you a dollar if you can tell me where our oxygen comes from. I'll throw in another dollar if you tell me where the carbonate comes from that coral uses for its exoskeleton and molluscs use for their shells.
@@JimmyD806 That's a vague question. I get my oxygen from the air. As for what produces it that's a lot of different things, algae being a large contributor as I recall. Not sure why you're asking me about calcium carbonate (I assume that's the carbonate you were referring to at least).
Lucky for you, natural selection stopped functioning. Hahahaha!
@@irreverend_
It's not vague at all. Plants, phytoplankton, and a couple of types of bacteria produce oxygen. But where does the oxygen come from? They don't just synthesize it out of quarks or free protons and electrons. What was it before it was oxygen?
It will be wonderful for a green Greenland!!! To see carbo and wild life return to Greenland is absolutely worth the sea level rise!!!!!!
Sea level rise, what a hoax! Our family has had our place in South County RI on the coast since the 1940s: our little beach looks like it always has.
@MarlinWilliams-ts5ul Thanks, it's so nice to know that scientists measuring instruments are faulty. Maybe you should let them know?
