The threat of melting sea ice and marine heatwaves in the Antarctic

[@donnewton7858]

There's no way that we will ever get every industrialized country in the world to cooperate on this in a timely manner, and my proof, like he said, is that we've had decades to get started and have barely scratched the surface of the problem.

It's a cycle, temperature fluctuations happen every 1000 yrs and much more so that of ice age's, infact we are actually due for another ice age at any time now and that's not me being an alarmist! Pay particular attention to the doppler effect of the earth's tilt! The extrapolation of iron ore doesn't help neither but when it comes to ice age's then we can record a pretty accurate timeline of previous ice age's! Five significant ice ages to be exact throughout the Earth’s history: the Huronian (2.4-2.1 billion years ago), Cryogenian (850-635 million years ago), Andean-Saharan (460-430 mya), Karoo (360-260 mya) and Quaternary (2.6 mya-present). Approximately a dozen major glaciations have occurred over the past 1 million years, the largest of which peaked 650,000 years ago and lasted for 50,000 years. The most recent glaciation period, often known simply as the “Ice Age,” reached peak conditions some 18,000 years ago before giving way to the interglacial Holocene epoch 11,700 years ago. At the height of the recent glaciation, the ice grew to more than 12,000 feet thick as sheets spread across Canada, Scandinavia, Russia and South America. Corresponding sea levels plunged more than 400 feet, while global temperatures dipped around 10 degrees Fahrenheit on average and up to 40 degrees in some areas. In North America, the region of the Gulf Coast states was dotted with the pine forests and prairie grasses that are today associated with the northern states and Canada. So whenever we hear some scientist coming on the programme using alarmist buzz words such as 'extreme this' and 'extreme that', 'catastrophic', 'severe', 'global warming' then naturally folks are going to be like help we are all doomed we need to do something when the reality is simply prepare in advance and make key rehabitable re-adjustments thereby placing more pressure on the Government's of this world accordingly in review of all the raw collected scientific data. Sadly there will always be alarmist's spreading fear although cutting down carbon emissions is a very positive wise way to start but this will only delay the inevitable and like it or not it will happen whether we like it or not as it's a natural process. But sadly the Government's of this world have their head's stuck up in a certain region of their anatomy that they don't know what time of the day it is sadly! So yes we should make contiguousy plans well in advance more rapidly and continuously thereby keeping reduction of carbon emissions as much as possible in order to try and delay this natural thermal shift if it's overdue to be compensated and if it can't then that's a huge threat for humanity which means massive safe subterranean dwelling. Although reducing carbon emissions is a very wise move but there's so much more that can be done, much much more! Although undeniably the destructive effects of human habitation and deforestation isn't helping as this will only accelerate more frequently in the coming years ahead with the thinning of the earth's atmosphere despite a weakening of the earth's magnetosphere giving sun spots and heightened solar weather activity thus increasing the concerns of skin cancer and other dermatological concerns not to mention the havoc on the electric grid, satellites in orbit etc etc This incoming shift will be much more quicker and this cannot be denied even though it's a natural cycle event! Global warming alarmist's will give you the impression that these cycles can be avoided but sadly the mummified baby woolly mammoth that was perfectly preserved that was uncovered in Antarctica still with food in it's mouth begs to differ! So it's imperative that we delay this incoming eventuality for as long as possible whether it's making a massive start in subterranean habitation that can house all the people for as long as it takes! Although the global warmist's much prefer for you to deny the inevitable by giving you the impression that's it's all man made when in reality they should be pulling together to safeguard the entirety of the human race from a potential global level event!

The similarities in language used by the establishment in science from Arctic Pole to Antarctic Pole are unnerving. Emperor penguins breed on 'ice flows, which is now disappearing. It's thought the ice flows could disappear by the end of this century'. Seems I've heard this before. As in the Arctic ocean could be ice free (once in every 10 years) by 2100. We know the establishment science is peer reviewed and that it's conservative in the extreme, but I don't think people will fall for this particular 'porky' so easily as we now rapidly approach a Blue Ocean Arctic by 2025 or 2027. The scientists have to get a grip, the Thwaites doomsday glacier looks as though it will give way by 2025, and there goes the ice field it's stopping from sliding into the ocean. It's not the only one. We need a more realistic view from the scientists in the field. What do they really talk about over coffee, or in the bar with their mates when off camera? Or do they feel they don't possess the oral skills to put their thoughts on reality in front of the camera in an appropriate fashion? Realism beats consensus science any day of the week. Those responsible are the Rishi Sunaks, the fossil fuel barons, the enabling bankers in Britain. In other countries it's the same set up. These perople are the "Eichmann's" of today's world. When they are put on trial in the next decade they will claim they were only doing their jobs of, growing the economy, making profits, enabling work. But like Eichmann they will be found guilty of mass murder or genocide for in their case legislating for mining and drilling fossil fuels, its extraction and sale around the globe while simultaneously and KNOWINGLY they allow it to be burned. These people know it results in greenhouse gases emitted to the atmosphere causing global climate chaos and environmental disasters, starvation, and heating, drought, fire and flood. They know at least 10 million die from pollution every year and many more from heating and starvation as they have for decades. They will be found guilty of mass murder-genocide. There will be no escaping the verdict.

Controlling CO2 will not control ice masses directly because the oceans have absorbed so much heat and CO2. For many reasons, we can handle all these factors much more rapidly with the water cycle. My book Pluvicopias shows how to control CO2, Sea Levels, eliminating the need for fossil fuels, reforestation of deserts and dry regions, regional cooling, and biosphere protection. It is all possible with the power of the water cycle, and the side effects are mostly good; it is just rain. Please read the book before giving your opinion. You will discover that the process is extremely simple and powerful. We need intelligent people to organize or advocate for numeric modeling of the system so that we can plan and build a prototype. Still, we must do all we can to help life on the planet survive and civilization prosper. We can do it if we trust reason.

Ice expands, so melting ice should reduce sea levels.

[@user-vc5zt9ci12]

This is about the Antarctica- land based

[@donnewton7858]

Saltwater does not freeze at 32 degrees F. And glaciers and Ice-pack are compacted snow, not water, so it's already expanded. 1. Salt The high concentration of salt in ocean water lowers its freezing point from 32° F (0° C) to 28° F (-2° C). As a result, the ambient temperature must reach a lower point in order to freeze the ocean than to freeze freshwater lakes. This freezing-point depression effect is the same reason we throw salt on icy sidewalks in the winter. The salt lowers the freezing point of the ice below the ambient temperature and it melts. Note that if the ambient temperature is lower than 28° F (-2° C), the ocean water would be ice if this were the only effect involved. Such is not the case, so there must be other effects involved. 2. Ocean currents The gravitational pull of the moon, earth's spinning motion, and thermal convection combine to create large-scale flows of ocean water known as ocean currents. This constant motion of the ocean water helps keep the water molecules from freezing into the somewhat stationary state of ice crystals. More significantly, the ocean currents continuously pump warm water from the equatorial regions to the colder ocean regions. 3. High volume The larger the volume of water, the more heat has to be removed in order to freeze it. A teaspoon of water placed in the freezer will become completely solid long before a gallon jug of water. More accurately, it is the surface-area to volume ratio for a given external temperature that determines the rate of heat loss and therefore the speed of freezing. Because the heat must be lost through its surface, a small shallow puddle with a large surface will freeze quicker than a deep lake. The immense volume and depth of the oceans keeps them from freezing too quickly, thereby allowing the heating mechanisms to have a larger effect. 4. Earth's internal heating As miners are well aware, the earth gets hotter and not colder as you dig straight down, despite the fact that you are getting farther away from the warm sunlight. The reason for this is that the earth has its own internal heat source which is driven primarily by the nuclear decay of elements inside earth's mantle. The earth's internal heat is most evident when lava flows and hot springs poke through the surface. Because earth's insulating crust is much thinner under the oceans than under the continents, most of the earth's internal heat escapes into the oceans. Although the temperature of the air at an ocean's surface may be freezing, the temperature of the water deep in the ocean is significantly warmer due to internal heating. This combination of salt, ocean currents, high volume, and internal heating keeps most of the ocean in liquid form even during cold winters.

There is no objective observational evidence that we are living in a global climate crisis. The UN's IPCC AR6, chapter 12 "Climate Change Information for Regional Impact and for Risk Assessment", section 12.5.2, table 12.12 confirms there is a lack of evidence or no signal that the following have changed: Air Pollution Weather (temperature inversions), Aridity, Avalanche (snow), Average precipitation, Average Wind Speed, Coastal Flood, Agricultural drought, Hydrological drought, Erosion of Coastlines, Fire Weather (hot and windy), Flooding From Heavy Rain (pluvial floods), Frost, Hail, Heavy Rain, Heavy Snowfall and Ice Storms, Landslides, Marine Heatwaves, Ocean Acidity, Radiation at the Earth’s Surface, River/Lake Floods, Sand and Dust Storms, Sea Level, Severe Wind Storms, Snow, Glacier, and Ice Sheets, Tropical Cyclones. There is no objective observational evidence that we are living through a global climate crisis. None.@@user-vc5zt9ci12

James. Arctic is Northern hemisphere. You're at the wrong pole. North (arctic) is a landmass covered in ice. South (Antarctic) is only ice. Try a quick experiment. Fill your drink with ice, measure it. Wait for the ice cubes to melt. Measure it again. No rise. Now try to understand why the opposite occurs in the Oceans. Its pretty simple when you understand displacement and factor in salinity.

More Channel 4 propaganda. Antarctic ice sheet mass loss is about 90 Gt/yr (Otosaka et al, 2023). It's total mass is 24 million Gt, so it loses less than 0.0004% of its mass annually. It contributes 0.36mm to sea-level rise per year (that's pitiful). At the current rate it will take well over ¼ million years to melt, but we are due for two more glacial periods in that time. The ice is here to stay.

The tundra belt is going through massive changes.ocean currents are changing.impacting ecosystems,geopolitics,illegal mining,new shipping routes geopolitics,fishing ,employment opportunities,good,bad and ugly intermix at these places.climate change is causing problem as well as a silver lining of solutions.we request all countries to save tundra ecosystems and avoid mining in this belt.
