    Wonderful presentation on I'd say the most concerning effects of climate change - increased extreme weather events, given the threat it poses to global agriculture. A few notes and references...
    Newer CMIP6 studies suggest the Arctic will be ice-free in summer as soon as 2030 and almost certainly before 2050 even under best case emission reduction scenarios, which we are not following.
    The only time emissions have fallen was in the Great Recession and Pandemic lock downs, both temporary. Physicist Tim Garrett studies the correlation between emissions and economic activity, the effect efficiency gains have on increasing energy use (Jevon's Paradox), and that renewable energy has been additive and not displaced fossil energy.
    Any reduction in fossil fuel consumption by a few, lowers the cost for others to consume more. Thus lifestyle and local community changes are ineffective at reducing global emissions if global compliance is not adopted, which to date has not happened despite 26 IPCC CoPs.

    For those scientists and policy makers who mistakenly believe that the Arctic ice can be restored to 1970 levels and thickness using ships spraying saltwater into the atmosphere to form clouds which might reflect solar radiation during the summer months... According to this lecturer, this may have more harm than good. Cloud formations may cause more warming than cooling, as was stated here. Interesting.

    • @Deebz270
      @Deebz270 2 года назад

      Not forgetting that energy will need to be expended [generators, pumps etc....] in Arctic surface albedo modification, depending upon which method is adopted. Spraying water into the Arctic atmosphere is probably not a good idea, given that it would likely inject yet more H2O - a major greenhouse gas - into the atmosphere as a whole. Using hollow spherical microglass beads, though inert (more or less like sand...) will require some form of mechanical distribution system = energy + [geo]engineering + logistics + economics - human anthropocentrism.
      .
      It is all futile of course. The Arctic will be ice-free within a few years

Tierney, Jiang Zhu, Robert Tardif, Gregory J. Hakim, Jonathan King & Christopher J. Poulsen published November 10, 2021 Nature volume 599, pages 239-244 (2021) -----------
      Analysis of global mean surface temperature (GMST) the last 24,000 years by combining several hundred previous published paleo analysis from all over Earth, took 7 scientists 7 years to do the work of combining hundreds of previous published paleo analysis and filling in the areas of Earth between the analyses using advanced statistical methods, and calculating the uncertainty in those statistical methods for the infill. "Climate changes across the last 24,000 years provide key insights into Earth system responses to external forcing. Climate model simulations and proxy data have independently allowed for study of this crucial interval; however, they have at times yielded disparate conclusions. Here, we leverage both types of information using paleoclimate data assimilation to produce the first observationally constrained, full-field reanalysis of surface temperature change spanning the Last Glacial Maximum to present. We demonstrate that temperature variability across the last 24 kyr was linked to two modes: radiative forcing from ice sheets and greenhouse gases; and a superposition of changes in thermohaline circulation and seasonal insolation. In contrast with previous proxy-based reconstructions our reanalysis results show that global mean temperatures warmed between the early and middle Holocene and were stable thereafter. When compared with recent temperature changes, our reanalysis indicates that both the rate and magnitude of modern observed warming are unprecedented relative to the changes of the last 24 kyr".
      Time to grow up people - industrial CO2 induced abrupt global warming was first analyzed in detail in 1890 by Svante Arrhenius! Current CO2 levels are already well above anything in the past 3 million years! There's already over 400 Zettajoules of EXTRA heat in the oceans accumulated since 1995. The Arctic will soon be ice-free with 1200 gigatons of pressurized methane hydrates being released as an "abrupt eruption" - just a 5 gigaton release will double global warming temperatures on Earth.

      Remember that water vapor/CO2/CH4 and any other gases are not distributed uniformly across the globe. We are going to see continued increases in the severity of events and not just the numbers. I also don't think that the arctic sea ice cover models are really accurately capturing the collapse of sea ice. Look at the graph she shows of modeled and actual sea ice coverage. You will see that it is already responding outside of 2 standard deviations of modeled responses. We ran (are running) an experiment on the planet we lived on. SMH.

      What I have been somewhat confused about, is the difference between greater water vapor in the atmosphere due to warming causing mega-rain events over land, vs. recent reports of concern about fewer ‘clouds’ (a.k.a. water vapor?) over the oceans, thereby causing greater heating of the oceans. Why wouldn’t warmer air temperatures draw more vapor from the oceans, creating more, rather than fewer clouds?

  • @OldScientist

    As regards the melting of Arctic Ice, the records nearly always seem to start in 1979. Strange that, considering it was a year of record extent for Arctic Ice. Even so, data from NOAA (2022 Arctic Report Card) show winter (March) ice coverage has hardly changed since '79, and that the summer (September) coverage trend had stopped declining since 2007. In September 2022, sea ice reached a minimum extent of 4.87 million square kilometers in the Arctic. This is higher than the extent in 2007, which means the Arctic summer sea ice trend is zero for the past 16 years. It was almost as high as 1995. Summer 2023 is one of the coldest in several decades in the Arctic, and May 2023 was the coldest on record there. The Greenland surface mass balance (SMB) for the past 11 months is a massive but very normal 450 billion tonnes of ice accumulated. 5 out of the last 7 years have seen huge accumulations above the average (1981-2010). How inconvenient! Didn't someone predict in 2007 Arctic ice free by 2010, or 2015, or 2013, or in 5 years? Or was it in 2008 the Arctic ice sheet would melt away. Also predicted in 2008 North Pole ice free in ... 2008 ... or in 10 years. 2009 prediction: Arctic ice free in 2014. 2012 prediction: snow will be gone by 2020. And 2013 star prediction: Methane catastrophe in 2 years because of ice free Arctic. 2018 prediction: zero chance of permanent ice in Arctic by 2022. The Arctic Ice is still there, and it's stopped shrinking.
    If you consider global sea ice cover, it was basically flat from 1981 to 2008, rose until 2010, stayed level until 2015, dropped until 2018, and then rebounded almost all the way back to the 1990-2000 average. Nobody predicted theses changes, nor can they explain them. The changes have no relationship to the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.
    The climate crisis/emergency/apocalypse is make-believe.
    Multiyear ice is an unproductive habitat as far as marine organisms are concerned: first year (seasonal) ice over continental shelves is the most productive and this is where the vast majority of polar bears, seals, fish, whales, and sea birds are found. Therefore the decline of extremely thick multiyear ice (>4 years old) could be seen as an unconcerning development with regards to the wildlife in the region, especially since 2-3 year old ice - that can be used as a resting/hunting platform for seals and polar bears - hasn't declined in summer since 2007. In fact, biologically, the Arctic is in good shape with all its regions showing a positive trend in primary productivity over an extended period (2003-2022). This has resulted in more food for seals, walruses, bowhead whales and polar bears, which are hence maintaining or expanding their populations.
    "Greenland ice sheet mass balance from 1840 through next week." (Mankoff et al., 2021). If you examine Fig.2 on page 5, you will see there would be no correlation with the exponential increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide (280ppm to 420ppm) and the change in the annual Mass Balance Sum shown in the paper. Indeed there have been periods of increasing mass of the Greenland ice cap in the 1940's, 70's, 80's and 90's. (Remember CO2 was rising all the time.)
    The Greenland ice sheet is thought to contribute 0.7mm/yr to sea-level rise, so 54mm by 2100 (just over 2 inches). That sounds small because it is small. Also an accounting error.
    More recently Greenland Total Ice Mass Balance rate of loss reached its maximum in 2012 but the trend rate of loss has been diminishing ever since. That's while we've added 500 million tonnes of CO2 to the atmosphere (14% of total human emissions). The average annual loss is 0.005% of the total mass (around 3 million gigatonnes). That's neglible. Come back in 20,000 years.
    There's no "death spiral" in the region as some people have reported. In fact, there is, I think, no evidence of any crisis/emergency. That is silly nonsense designed to scare people.

At this rate, we will see 2 degC above preindustrial by 2027, and 3 degC by 2032. And all of this heat is in spite of the 1.2 trillion tons of melting global ice, 3.3 billion tons per day, the 321 million cubic miles of oceans heating to 70 degF, 90 degF along the East Coast of the US, and the 1 trillion tons of water vapor evaporating daily.

    No one is talking about water pressure in ocean increasing with more volume of water, this puts extreme pressure on ocean floor, deepest areas, which are adjacent to lava ridges..this is going to effect plate tectonics, and probably could create more volcanic activity

    The few arctic temperature sensors are located in warm areas of the Arctic and represent huge areas of unmonitored locations. If you could see the Arctic ice extent in the early 20th century you would see similar ice levels. Where did the sea ice data prior to 1980 come from? There is no evidence of increasing rate of sea level rise. Where are you getting that information?

    The World Ocean or Global Ocean is the interconnected system of the oceanic waters of the sea, and comprises the bulk of the hydrosphere, covering 361,132,000 square kilometers or 139,434,000 square miles of Earth's surface, with a total volume of roughly 1,332,000,000 cubic kilometers.
    The distribution of water on the Earth's surface is extremely uneven. Only 3% of water on the surface is fresh; the remaining 97% resides in the ocean. Of the freshwater, 69% resides in glaciers and ice, 30% underground, and less than 1% is located in lakes, rivers, and swamps.
    these extract have been copied and pasted from educational sites and are true,
    the estimates for sea level rise is up to 60 meters for Antarctica and a further 7.2 meters for Greenland being a total of 67.2 meters,
    so my question is , with the total ocean area ( 139,434,000 square miles ), and the vey small % of water locked in ice , ( which is 69% of the remaining 3% ) how do you contribute a 67,2 meter sea level rise, ?
    love to see your answer and the calculations how you come by this exorbitant number,
    regards owen,
    PS I've asked this question to a large amount of scientist, will you be the first to answer the question

Same with open tundra or just putting solar on house roofs. There are lots of ways to do it.

      Deserts are incredibly diverse ecosystems with a wide variety of unique life forms, many endangered species exist in these environments.
      There isn't a scientist with an ounce of credibility claiming humans are going extinct, and the greatest threat to nature and wildlife has always been caused directly by humans. From deforestation, to poaching and plant and animal habitat destruction resulting from human encroachment. This has sent numerous life forms to extinction and threaten even more. Warming hasn't killed anything.

    Most atmospheric geoengineering proposals do nothing re CH4 pollution, which is getting worse as melting hydrates + an increasingly leaky natgas system from wells to gas appliances increase the short-run concentration of CH4, which then breaks down to increase atmospheric CO2. I would guess the Russian war has substantially increased the rate of CH4 buildup, would suspect that the Keeling curve might be accelerating measurably as a result (like the 2015 Calif. gas storage blow-out did). Not good for acidifying oceans & reduced O2 in the warming oceans, esp on the continental shelves…

    I'm not saying not to do any of this...but 12 minutes seems more performative than informative.
