Blue Ocean Event 2022?
Here is Margo’s latest video. The image on the below shows a NASA Worldview satellite image of a blue Beaufort Sea (with Barrow, Alaska, at the top left, on September 7, 2022). Arctic News, 8 September, 2021 The image shows that there is a lot of open water between the coast of Alaska and the sea ice. To determine where there is open water and where the sea ice starts can be hard; the sea ice is often covered by…
Towards the end of the 2022 melt season
Dangerously large Arctic sea ice extent Arctic sea ice extent was 5.88 million km² on August 21, 2022, larger in extent than in any of the years from 2010 through 2021 at this time of year, as illustrated by the image below. At first glance, one might think that this relatively large extent was a sign of healthy sea ice. After all, the larger the sea ice, the more sunlight gets reflected back into space. At the same time, however,…
Methane, Sea Ice & Climate Weekly Roundup with Margo (July 31, 2022)
Margo reviews methane data from CAMS for Saturday, 7/30/22 and NOAA for Friday & Saturday, 7/29-7/30/22. She also shows the current state of the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice and looks at Climate Reanalyzer, and recent earthquakes worldwide. Margo also shares two articles on the Arctic sea ice. I picked this up on Twitter
Lunacy, denial and suppression of facts
Just about any day of the week I have to ask what has happened to people and how they can be under such a spell. Today was no exception and I woke up to this this morning I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch it but the “experts” are telling us categorically that there will be no Blue Sea Event this year and with Pauline Schneider saying that although although the ice is thin it’s “not that bad”….
Researchers at the North Pole
The North Pole in the Summer of 2022 After a long hiatus courtesy of the demise of the annual Barneo ice camp and the Covid-19 pandemic we are pleased to be able to report that an ice mass balance buoy has once again been installed on a floe in the vicinity of the North Pole. Here’s the evidence: The ship in the background is not a traditional research icebreaker. It is Ponant Cruises’ Le Commandant Charcot, one of a number…
Arctic ice – an update – 27 July, 2022
I have a lot to say on this, but not right now. Some point to their graphs and say this is meaningless. Others say it’s early in the season, so there might be an early refreeze (or something). I think from what I have been seeing over the past 4 years they must be smoking some hopium. Sam Carana added a filter to get rid of some of the cloud cover This is from today – 15 km from the…
The break-up of ice has started one month earlier than in 2020 and 2021
I have written a postscript to my article,THE END OF POLAR ICE IN 2022? showing how the break-up of the ice looked in 2020 and 2021 POSTSCRIPT In trying to find some context for this Margo and I went searching. We found this item from late-August, 2020. Before that there was no similar break-up that far north Expedition shares scary photos from the North Pole Loose and weak ice with lots of melt ponds, partly open water, and no signs…
The end of polar ice in 2022?
I have been concentrating on things within the human realm – a pandemic, war, New World Order etc. because they have been the most urgent things on my mind. However, as we head towards the end of the melt season my attention is turning once more to the Arctic. The situation is dire. Watch Margo’s detailed report: If you look at the following (and that is what everyone points to, from sceptics to followers of abrupt climate change) you might…
