notsonice + 1,255 DM February 4, 2020 The Northwest Passage (NWP) is the sea route to the Pacific Ocean through the Arctic Ocean, along the northern coast of North America via waterways through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.[1][2][3][4] The eastern route along the Arctic coasts of Norway and Siberia is accordingly called the Northeast Passage (NEP). The various islands of the archipelago are separated from one another and from the Canadian mainland by a series of Arctic waterways collectively known as the Northwest Passages or Northwestern Passages.[5] For centuries, European explorers sought a navigable passage as a possible trade route to Asia. An ice-bound northern route was discovered in 1850 by the Irish explorer Robert McClure; it was through a more southerly opening in an area explored by the Scotsman John Rae in 1854 that Norwegian Roald Amundsen made the first complete passage in 1903–1906. Until 2009, the Arctic pack ice prevented regular marine shipping throughout most of the year. Arctic sea ice decline has rendered the waterways more navigable for ice navigation 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can grow grapes in Yorkshire or indeed Scotland today. The reason they are no longer commercially grown is the fall in transport costs makes the importation of wines from Europe and elsewhere more commercial worthwhile. Wind back to 30AD and the cost of an imported bottle of wind was probably 3 months peasant labour so growing grapes in Yorkshire - Scotland and making local wines was far more viable. Greenland was Green around the edges in AD 1300 as it is today. The interior of Greenland has been one lump of ice Km's thick for over 100,000 years. The Carbon in the ice has been dated down to the bedrock😉 https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-old-glacier-ice?qt-news_science_products=0#qt-news_science_products 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Colorado river barely makes it to the ocean anymore - mostly due to consumption, but snow shortfalls are expected to make things worse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_River "After a much lower-than-average snowpack in the 2018 water year, Bureau of Reclamation officials projected the odds of an official shortage declaration in 2020 at 52 percent, in 2021 at 64 percent, and in 2022 at 68 percent."

Combine the 2 and you get rate of CHANGE from 'x' value rate of change. So, baseline is rate of CHANGE between 81(maximum sea ice extent ever recorded) and 2010 What this graph shows is wildly changing conditions into 50's into the 1970's and steady state after 1980 to 2000 and then a deep dive for next 10 years. This aligns with reality as sailboats were able to pass through the northwest passage and along Russian coast until they couldn't in the 1970's/80s. Opened again to small boats in the 00's. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Instead of looking at only last 40 years: Here is a historical perspective using, ice, mud cores from Greenland/Antarctica https://principia-scientific.org/arctic-antarctic-sea-ice-now-at-historic-high-levels/ Notice the trends... PS: Your (volume) is blatant fraud as no one has a clue other than a couple bore holes taken by the US NAVY and then it depends entirely where you take said sample. (how Close to Canada/Greenland, time of year) What we do know is the average today is ~2m and 60 years ago it was ~2m when Submarines first went under the ice and we have indications the thickness today is no different than in the 1920's, but a single data point here does not an argument make.

Marcin2 + 725 MK February 5, 2020 (edited) The fact that we human beings have significant impact on CO2 circulation on this planet, is just the fact. In the last 150 years it occurres, it is the first such sudden impact in all history of fauna on this planet. Hydrocarbons were created in millions of years. We utilize them 100,000 times faster than they were created. We add 40 gigatons of CO2 to the equation. The nature was more or less in equilibrium with total throghput of 400 gigatons of CO2. Half of our CO2 is absorbed by oceans, half is significantly changing the composition of air on this planet. We do not know yet how we precisely impact the climate, but we do impact it. Remember that our activities are just another layer of the complicated interdependencies of many factors: like Sun activity or impact of ocean currents. Any historical changes of CO2 were much slower, at least 1000 times slower. We are changing equilibrium of the planet. There could be sudden loss of equilibrium and our actions could cause some catastrophic changes. Probably our species will not extinct, but we cannot be sure. As a species we never were subject of such high CO2 concentrations. We do not know how High CO2 concentration impacts for example fertility.

Actual Peer review is redoing their studies/tests and obtaining the same data. A committee of ignorants who have not done the testing/studies sitting listening to a presentation have no idea if what is being said is 100% Bull Shit. Or you could scroll right to the bottom and pull up the articles/papers from the peer reviewed journals(you seem to like) from which they got their data and turn on your brain and think....
