The latest from Guy McPherson
Guy McPherson
Another formative person in the last 10 years was Guy McPherson. Unfortunately,he has contributed little to our undrerstanding since discontinuing the updates to this essay while living in Belize. It was his recording positive feedbacks and his talk of the destruction of habitat for humans that had my attention. Climate-Change Summary Updated most recently, likely for the final time, 2 August 2016. The Great Dying wiped out at least 90% of the species on Earth due to an abrupt rise…
Media ADMITS to methane deposits starting to release
Until today this has been roundly denied with Yale University putting out a series of videos a year or so ago ‘Sleeping giant’ Arctic methane deposits starting to release, scientists find Exclusive: expedition discovers new source of greenhouse gas off East Siberian coast has been triggered The Guardian, 27 October, 2020 Scientists have found evidence that frozen methane deposits in the Arctic Ocean – known as the “sleeping giants of the carbon cycle” – have started to be released over a large…
Conditions in the Arctic and at the North Pole
In addition to Margo’s I have done my own mini-analysis below. Sometimes it helps to look beyond your local weather forecast. Methane, Sea Ice & Climate Update with Margo (Feb. 21, 2021) There is always far more than we are led to believe in what is reported to us that tell us what to believe about climate change. From Margo’s video. I found the following by Sam Carana but could not find anything to substantiate it but judging from the mistake I made…
Observations of Arctic sea ice in winter
The Breach of the Arctic Vortex and the Effects of Ice Meltwater on the Oceans
Snowstorms, the Breach of the Arctic Vortex and the Effects of Ice Meltwater on the Oceans By Dr. Andrew Glikson Global Research, 23 February, 2021 All Global Research articles can be read in 27 languages by activating the “Translate Website” drop down menu on the top banner of our home page (Desktop version). *** Warnings by leading climate scientists regarding the high sensitivity of the atmosphere in response to abrupt compositional changes, such as near-doubling of greenhouse gas concentrations, are now…
Scientific paper: The destruction of permafrost in the Laptev Sea provokes methane emissions
I do not have the time to do this justice right now. But, in brief, it seems to confirm what we already know from observations. Scientific paper discusses extensive release of methane from the East Siberian Arctic Ocean This is the paper, just published. PNAS , March 9, 2021 Significance Extensive release of methane from sediments of the world’s largest continental shelf, the East Siberian Arctic Ocean (ESAO), is one of the few Earth system processes that can cause a…
The Arctic sea ice IS RETREATING in one part of the Arctic – in early November
The Arctic sea ice IS RETREATING in one part of the Arctic – in early November. We are being told that the Arctic is refreezing although the ice is paper thin. Meanwhile, in the Bering Sea and above Western Siberia the ice, shockingly, has been RETREATING in the past few days. For more detail see – Looking at Methane, Arctic Sea Ice & Earthquakes with Margo (Nov. 8, 2020)
Temperatures above freezing at North Pole – in November!!
Above Zero Celsius at North Pole November 2020 Arctic News, 11 November, 2020 The image below shows how a hot Arctic Ocean distorts the Jet Stream and hot air moves all the way up to the North Pole. Above image shows the Northern Hemisphere at November 12, 2020, with a temperature forecast of 2.0°C or 35.5°F at the North Pole at 1000 hPa at 15:00Z. On the right, jet stream crosses the Arctic Ocean (at 250 hPa). At surface level,…
