Europe heatwave expected to hit Arctic, speed up melting of ice sheet By Tal Axelrod - 07/26/19 03:48 PM EDT A historic heat wave in Europe is expected to hit the Arctic, accelerating the melting of a large ice sheet that could increase global average sea levels by over 20 feet. Norway, Sweden and Finland will experience particularly high temperatures throughout the weekend, according to The Washington Post’s Capital Weather Gang, as a high pressure in the mid-levels of the atmosphere over Scandinavia blocks cold fronts or other storm systems from entering the area. ADVERTISEMENT A heat wave in 2018 in the region led to an outbreak of severe wildfires. Temperatures in Scandinavia will reach into the 90s or higher, the Post reported. Should the high-pressure area set up over Greenland, it could lead to the expedited melting of the Greenland ice sheet. Recent weather patterns already increased thawing of the sheet, and a complete melt could raise global average sea levels by 23 feet. Ruth Mottram, a researcher with the Danish Meteorological Institute, told the Post that should the pressure system set up over Greenland, it could cause a melt event similar to one in 2012 in which nearly all of the ice sheet experienced melting. “Assuming this comes off (and it seems likely) we would expect a very large melt event over the ice sheet,” Mottram said. “As you have probably seen the Arctic sea ice is already at record low for the time of year so clearly we may be looking at a situation where both the Arctic sea ice and Greenland ice sheet have record losses even over and above 2012 – though we won’t know for sure until after the event.” “This appears to be a very significant event for the Arctic,” Zack Labe, a climate researcher at the University of California at Irvine, added to the Post. “In fact, simulations from the MARv3.9 model suggest this may be the largest surface melt event of the summer.” “Whether or not we set a new record low this year, the timing and extent of open water on the Pacific side of the Arctic has been unprecedented in our satellite record. This is already having significant impacts to coastal communities in Alaska and marine ecosystems.” The summer has been unusually hot in other parts of the Arctic as well, bringing Alaska its warmest June on record and causing more than 2 million acres to set ablaze across the state. |

Sorry, climate change fanatics: Turns out, Greenland’s glaciers are actually growing If you buy into the climate change narrative, you might think that Earth’s glaciers are melting. And if you buy into total climate insanity, you might even think that the melting glaciers are one day going to flood most of the planet. But the latest research shows that Jakobshavn, once the fastest-melting glacier on Earth, is now growing. No longer receding inland, new measurements show that Jakobshavn’s ice is thickening and advancing towards the ocean. Experts say that the increasing size of Jakobshavn is due to cooler water temperatures in the area — and now believe that cycling between warmer and colder waters may be part of the region’s normal climate pattern. While climate alarmists have tried to paint this news as frightening with leftist outlets declaring that growing glaciers “isn’t good news,” the truth is that most climate change nutters are so bent on adhering to their narrative, even the most obvious facts are misconstrued to fit their lunacy. Greenland glacier grows Researchers were shocked to discover Jakobshavn was actually growing in size — after all, such a finding completely contradicts the climate change narrative. Scientists from the United States and the Netherlands teamed up to investigate the matter further. And what they found undermines the entire theory that glaciers are melting due to climate change. Jakobshavn has been melting into the ocean since the 1980s. This fact has long been attributed to global warming via human activity, but what the scientists have discovered is that changes in water temperatures in the Northern Atlantic are actually normal.

Dubbed the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), the experts say this current brings colder waters to the area every 20 years. According to their research, the NAO brought in a surge of cold water from the North Atlantic Ocean in 2016. Since that time, waters near Jakobshavn have been at their coldest since the mid- 1980s. For three years in a row, ocean temperatures in the area have remained cold. While the scientists continue to caution that these colder temps won’t last forever, it appears they might last for the next 20 years. Climate alarmists claim that other glaciers are still melting and ocean temps are rising, but recent research shows that around the world, 90 percent of Earth’s glacial bodies are growing. Glaciers aren’t going anywhere NASA studies from 2016 show that the Antarctic is accumulating more ice every year. On average, the South Pole is gaining between 82 and 112 billion tons of ice per year. As Principia Scientific reports, NASA’s study found that “an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.” In other words, Antarctica is getting so much ice, it doesn’t even matter if other glaciers are melting. Lead study author Jay Zwally, a glaciologist with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, says that while ice loss may seem problematic in other areas, it appears that Antarctica is picking up the slack. “The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away,” he commented. Climate science is riddled with research that ignores facts and figures in order to maintain the narrative. But as this recent research shows, the issue of global warming is not what it seems. |

btw Logan, that article was not written by Mike Adams. But another author. It gives the authors name and website he got the info from. https://www.climatesciencenews.com/ Mike Adams is a smart man to not use glyphosate/Roundup. I think everyone here can agree on that, (almost) except for those who I know use it here like Nasirah/Alan who has mentioned this before. |

I was a science major in college. My husband, too. I actually am on lists with real scientists (climatology, geology, etc.) I know the difference between real and fake stuff. And, I'm not a drone--I'm a grandma...want a cookie? Freshed baked. Grandkids coming tomorrow. No drones here. But my son has one of those...he's a scientist, too...sometimes he lets me pilot it. It's fun. You should get a hobby, too. So, go fish ya old coot. lol |

Satellite data of temperatures across Europe in later June 2019 and late July 2019, when a heat wave swept across the continent.(Image: © Copernicus Sentinel/ESA, CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO) An image of Europe pulsing red shows the effects of a heat wave sweeping across the continent again in July, following extreme temperatures in June. The image, based on data from the European Union's Copernicus program, represents high temperatures — particularly in the regions of the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Paris recently hit a peak of 105 degrees Fahrenheit (41 degrees Celsius), breaking a record set in 1947, according to a statement released by the European Space Agency. The animation shows the warm temperatures on Thursday (July 25), compared with the peak of the previous heat wave on June 26, 2019. That weather event also broke records. Related: Earth Day 2019: These Amazing NASA Images Show Earth from Above The data displayed in the images was gathered by the Copernicus Sentinel-3's sea and land surface temperature radiometer, which measures the energy radiating from the Earth. That makes this approach a more accurate representation of land temperature than traditional weather forecasts that predict air temperatures, according to ESA. eat is shown in shades of red; ice, such as in the Alps, in blue; the white patches are clouds. In response to the current heat wave, many countries have issued warnings, recommending that residents drink lots of water and avoid traveling. The Earth does goes through natural cycles of warming and cooling, and individual weather events cannot typically be ascribed to climate change. But current warming trends and other climatic disruptions are driven by an unprecedented, human- caused increase in atmospheric concentrations in carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas commonly released by vehicles and industrial activities. Today's warming has only taken about 150 years, compared to tens of thousands of years during a particularly fast warming period in the past known as the Paleo-Eocene Thermal Maximum. |

Yet not a peep on climate when we were still frosty in March. This is like 10, 15 summers in a row every time some heatwave hits. Been a pretty mild summer here, mostly 90's- low 100's. Worked outside every day for weeks. Wore a beanie for so many months had to remind myself it was warm enough to drawer it. |

Global satellites are now tracking a swathe of new and ongoing wildfires within the Arctic Circle. The conditions were laid in June, the hottest June for the planet yet observed in the instrumented era. The fires are releasing copious volumes of previously stored carbon dioxide and methane - carbon stocks that have in some cases been held in the ground for thousands of years. Scientists say what we're seeing is evidence of the kind of feedbacks we should expect in a warmer world, where increased concentrations of greenhouse gases drive more warming, which then begets the conditions that release yet more carbon into the atmosphere. A lot of the particulate matter from these fires will eventually come to settle on ice surfaces further north, darkening them and thus accelerating melting. It's all part of a process of amplification. |
