Blue Ocean Event : Game Over?

A Blue Ocean Event, or Ice-Free Arctic, is the source of almost fever pitch speculation in the climate science world. The consequences of the disappearance of sea ice from the arctic ocean, however briefly, at the end of a summer melt season some time in the not too distant future, are potentially very ominous for the way we organise our human socio-economic structures today. This week, we consider what those consequences may look like.

I live in rural Ohio. People here are unimaginative. Lots of black and white houses. I have an idea, ban the black metal roofs I see everywhere. I've coated my metal roofing with white elastomeric roof coating. Drops the surface temperature about 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@justgivemethetruth]

Not really what you want though in winter is it?

[@claudermiller]

@@justgivemethetruth doesn't matter. The sun is too low on the horizon in winter to absorb heat. I have lots of windows on the south side with a long porch and a sunroom. On sunny days I don't need heat because of solar radiation. My house was built right after the civil war. They made the best use of design to keep the house comfortable.

[@kayakMike1000]

And that's just dumb. Put some solar panels up there.

[@mrmagoo8510]

Another point to include on your list is the fact that zooplankton in the Arctic is disappearing at an alarming rate. Last year it was almost 90% less. That's because they need ice, that holds their food sources, to survive over the winter. The ice cover is forming so late in the season that it's too late and they starve. They are the building blocks of the food chain and without them ocean life starts to collapse. We live in a web of life, and as each strand breaks, it breaks another strand.

Like, how much more should we talk about it? Have you ever wondered why none of the elites are limiting THEIR lifestyle and instead are asking you to limit yours? For instance, have you ever seen a proposal to ban private jets? No. Instead, rich and powerful people are flying around the world in private jets, telling everyone to "stop living so wastefully", arguing for everything to become more expensive, basically making it impossible for normal people to afford anything anymore, and at the same time, they're earning more money and living a lavish lifestyle. Seems pretty legit, doesn't it?

Another well researched report. Thank you for your continued climate awareness. One critique if I may, my understanding is that wheat, rice and so on, wont simply move poleward very well.

Actually, it looks like it already is.

Hi Tim. I think you're right about that actually. I remember hearing that mentioned in a recent documentary (I think by Deutsche Welle) looking at Siberia.

[@PeacemanBZ]

The next time we have a devastating summer like the one of 2012 in the Arctic, will be the summer where the first Blue Ocean Event will take place. After 2012 90 % of the ice left is thin ice. This thin ice is very vulnerable to the weather conditions during every melting season. Another melting season like 2012 and the ice will be gone. The likelihood that a 2012-like-summer will occur within the next 10 years is very high. Even the likelihood that such a summer will happen within the next 5 years is high. High enough that my best guess is that it will happen within the next 5 years.

Well done again. I believe the blue ocean even will be in the next 5-years, maybe sooner. There is lots of information to consume out there on this, but recent trends sure point to something in the very near future. Just looking at this year we have just crossed into the spring when ice begins the retreat. It has already taken a major dive over the past 30 years of recorded history at 340k square miles below the 1981 to 2010 average and shows no sign of declining that rate right now. The Bearing Sea was completely ice free before spring this year also and right now we have broken the record for the amount of ice loss for the last 5-years at this point, which are the lowest ever recorded!

[@justgivemethetruth]

This reminds me of the physics experiment we did when I was kid in school. Measure the mass of ice, and put it in an insulating styrofoam cut with a thermometer. Record the temperature over time as the ice melts and then the water goes to room temperature. You can see how every last speck of ice will keep the water at a pretty constant cool temp, but once the ice has absorbed the latent heat of fusion the heat that was being absorbed by the ice now is contributing to the heating of the water and the water heats up much faster then. This is exactly what is going to happen to the Earth when we run out of ice to absorb all our heat. People do not seem to understand this, nor realize just how fast and how unstable this planet will become if we do not have masses of ice to moderate the temperature. I think we are heading at breakneck speed to an almost certain destruction of human civilization and another extinction of nature. Intelligent species my ass.

[@grindupBaker]

No because Earth also has an ocean and that exerts 93% of the control but the ice exerts only 3% of the control. The other factor is that Antarctica has ice so vast that it can;'t conceivably be all melted in less than a few millennia unless humans intentionally do that and put all their efforts into achieving that.

Humans have a bias towards thinking events will happen next year or a few years from now or not at all. We don't handle longer term issues well, unless we are thinking of families. My own guess from reading and looking at the graphs is that in 5 to 10 years there's a high chance. Not certain and I am not an expert. The problem here is that we have a complex system that normally produces changes over centuries being perturbed by positive feedbacks that could trigger changes in decades or less. I leave the serious resolution of that to the modelers who know far more than me.

I agree that everyone can make a difference overall. I also believe that you should do what is possible for you to do to make the envrionment better, and start with little changes in order to make sure that you stay on track instead of dropping everything because it is too time consuming. One can not change diet overnight or buy an electric car. The biggest obstacle to a better environment is the lack of interest and the vision most people have that they will not have any impact or they simply do not have time to make any changes in their lives. So I encourage you to make little changes in your life, to get started at your level, and to convince yourself that any small change will make a difference in the end because you are not alone in this. What to do ? Here is what I did myself as an example: I collect rain with a rain barrel to water my plants, I compost my dead leaves, my grass, and all my vegetal scraps an others. I have a Honda Clarity (if you do not want to go fully electric, try the hybrid plug in). I try to eat less meat gradually. I grow vegetals on a community garden, and I give some to my neighbours. And I tell people around me as to why I do this, and how the climate change is due to our way of living. I do not scare people nor do I try to make them guilty. I believe by making people more aware of this situation and by offering them simple ways they can change, we will be better off overall. I strongly encourage you to do the same to make real changes happening.

Hey Dave, great work on this! All I had to do was take one look at the sea ice thickness of September of 2018 from Patrick McNulty, to be convinced that it'll happen by around 2023-2026. The models are missing some crucial feedbacks when it comes to the melting arctic. As far as I understand, the main thing taken into account is the sea ice albedo feedback, which is probably the biggest or one of the most important factors, but not the only one. If anyone is interested, I can look into my research notes and give some details on the other expected feedbacks at play which may explain why the arctic is heating up faster and losing ice faster than the models said they would. *edit: I can provide sources as well for anyone that wants to look further

Just a note: the _"heating the equvalent amount of water up to 79°C"_ statement is slightly confusing: _"the equivalent amount"_ is a 30cm-1m thick layer at the surface over an area equivalent to 2-3 Greenlands. It won't heat the oceans in themselves much, since they're in general 3700 meters deep and covers 71% of the surface area. While 79°C sounds shocking, it is just one of those Saturn-floating-in-an-ocean statements. It is unrealistic and doesn't carry any real meaning.

The goals set by Paris are far too low and we're not going to reach even those. Follow the "climate action tracker". It shows that the paris agreement would limit global temperature rise to AT BEST +2.4°C instead of the needed MAXIMUM of +2°C. Average case IF really done the paris agreement limits temperature rise to +3°C.

[@grindupBaker]

A quick rough number only good within +/- 25% is that Global Mean Surface Temperature (GMST) would increase 0.25 degrees 2019-2028 with present Arctic Ocean sea ice but (just to illustrate) if no Arctic Ocean sea ice at all in summer June 22 - September 22 starting this year then GMST would increase 0.35 degrees 2019-2028 so 40% more rapid warming. I used Curry/Randall clouds for that (50% higher than global average clouds). There are 2 reasons why I can't make it more accurate than +/- 25% which are: 1) The changes in cloud (which greatly reflects "sunlight") as there is more open ocean, and 2) The reduction in the vast heat that gets sent to the Arctic Ocean atmosphere from lower latitudes. Without this heat it's almost certain (depends on clouds) that the Arctic Ocean wouldn't even be able to keep its temperature above 0 degrees through the summer even if there wasn't any ice at all on the ocean. It just doesn't get enough average "sunlight" through the summer to keep its temperature above 0 degrees through the summer. It relies entirely on vast heat that gets sent to it from the sub-tropics and temperate latitudes in order to melt ice in summer. Wieslaw can't give ball park estimates like that, even if they are quite good, because he's a professional WG1 climate scientist so his work must be peer reviewed to ensure that no mistakes creep in. That's why he can't babble like Guy McPherson, who I've heard tell a couple of significant outright lies and several brain-dead pieces of hilarious drivel about WG1 climate science. You clearly hear Wieslaw being uncomfortable because he can't say what he's thinking which is that Peter Wadhams method of projection by running a curve through 20 years of data without considering the physical science and in particular Earth's huge natural variations such as ENSO is amateurish, juvenile and worthy of amateurs like Paul Beckwith, Guy McPherson & all you babbling clowns but is totally unworthy of a professional WG1 climate scientist like Peter Wadhams. Wieslaw can't say that because of his professional situation and the community aspect, it would be very wrong of him, but I'm just some amateur so I can say it. It's childishly thin science to just draw a line through some points and project them into the future if you can't back that up by proving that noise has been squelched to near zero in your prior time series and you know that the physical processes will continue along the same path. It's close to drivel.

[@shoalslinkinc5444]

Very informative. However we should consider the effects of electric vehicles and photovoltaic technologies. Manufacture production uses large amounts of fossil fuel, toxic chemicals, and rare earth materials. Rare earth materials lead to environmental issues including deforestation, polution, and contamination. Both of these technologies, more so vehicles, use batteries which have their evils in manufacturing and disposal. The electricity to charge your vertical is most likely generated by fossil fuels. At the current technology, to be green, we must start green at the development level. Consumption plays a larger roll in climate change; in which you pointed out in some parts. Don't drive as much. Turn off lights in unoccupied areas. Nice days turn back the AC. Unplug idle charging devices. Buy products that use biodegradable containers. Repair instead of replace when feasible. The list goes on...

[@philipganchev2306]

The greenhouse effects of manufacturing an electric vehicle are several times less than manufacturing and using an internal combustion vehicle for 10 years. (I can look for references for you.) Pollution and eco-destruction caused by manufacture of electric batteries are decreasing with decreasing amounts of rare metals used and general improvement in technology. The same is true of photo voltaic panels. True, recycling PVPs has been difficult but little effort has been made because the economy is driven by profit. That must change! Your larger point is valid -- it's good to decrease use. But without new technology, this means inconveniences for some things, productivity decreases for others, and a decrease in quality of life (for humans today): longer travel times, more manual intervention etc. Yes, we should try to change the culture and value system of our societies. But we should use the best technology available to save the remaining species (including humans).

And practically, it may make growing our food impossible even in areas with now favorable climate. 2. A constant, intensifying struggle to grow food, get clean water, ration resources, accommodate refugees and defend our resources or conquer them from neighbors means we will devote most of our efforts to surviving. We will have almost no resources for designing and implementing lasting solutions. And a state constant of conflict will unravel civilization into barbarism. Some humans might survive for a while in isolated automated and fortified enclaves, but for how long is debatable. However, tension and conflict multiplies the risk of nuclear war. (Nuclear weapons are still proliferating around the world.) No humans will survive that. The call to action is pitiful. Yes, we must band with our neighbors and minimize our own effects. But the problem is far grater than we can solve by individual responsible consumerism. We must demand of our governments at all levels to make laws and invest in emission-free energy, to electrify our economies and everyday world. We must dismantle the politico-economic-cultural system that perpetuates emissions. When we have stopped emitting, we must frantically remove the already emitted greenhouse gases. AFAIK, there is no proven cheap way to do that. It requires research which will take decades, and massive investment.

Record snowfalls everywhere this year, even in Northern Africa !😅

[@penguinuprighter6231]

And still far more record warmth. It's about the average.

I loved the idea of pumping sea water back out into the ocean, I never laughed so much. Just hope the pumps are above the water level - Rember Fukushima.
