For nearly 20 years, the collapse or slowdown of the Gulf Stream has been speculated upon as more and more evidence shows it has begun. All the while, very strong…
I met him in Ilulissat, the largest settlement in Greenland, population 3,000. Ilulissat is what many of the scientists on the Greenland Ice Sheet call a safe base for their…
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report, September 24, 2019The Ocean and Cryosphere (the icy part of our planet) in a Changing ClimateA Summary of Important Findings Overall of course,…
Image of mega berg calving of the Jakobshavn Glacier (Ilullisat Glacier) in Greenland. The same process is now happening in Antarctic, with the result of much faster sea level rise.…
Bruce MeltonFirst Published on TruthoutNovember 13, 2018 Titanic II is set to sail in 2022. It’s a $500 million replica of the doomed Titanic that hit a North Atlantic iceberg in 1912.…
It’s not the averages that will mess up your hair, it’s the gusts. This work on modeling the unmodelable (Drijfhout 2015) is a couple of years old now, but it gives…
Point 660, Greenland Ice Sheet, 20 miles east of Kangerlussuaq on the west coast. Physics is important. An enormous amount of heat is required to melt ice. This is why…
Ilulissat Icefjord discharge, Greenland. Looking out to sea from the mouth of the icefjord. The tallest bergs are over 200 feet high. Ice loss from Greenland has increased over 600…
Wind scoured blue ice on the Greenland Ice Sheet: Katabatic winds, or gravity driven monster winds up to 150 mph sustained, can literally blow the ice away. It's easy to…
Sea level rise erosion, South Padre Island, about mile 20 up the four-wheel drive beach. This erosion is occurring during normal, non-storm tides when the sun and moon align to…
President Trump it seems, has given us permission to backslide with our thinking about climate change. Until we have rule or law that tells us we must do something about…
Record Greenland Melt August 2012. This image is from 35 miles inland from the edge of the ice sheet due east from a place called Point 660, which is about…
Icebergs fresh from the Greenland Ice Sheet at the mouth of the UIllusiat Icefjord. The Jakobshavn Glacier calved these bergs. It is the fastest moving glacier in the world at…
The Gulf Stream may not actually shut down, but it is slowing now and has been for some time (see here) and these researchers have come close—if not having actually…
