So sad. I have to admit it makes me imagine and wish for a flourishing afterlife, in the absence of humanity on Earth.

Rest in Peace, Ururu

Yeah, gutting the fossils of dead plants and animals out of the earth and pumping them into the atmosphere in the form of black smoke has consequences.

For the first time, a commercial shipping vessel was recently able to complete the Northeast Passage – traveling from Vladivostok on the Russia’s Sea of Japan Coast to Rotterdam, Netherlands via the Arctic Ocean on Russia’s north coast. That’s because the ice is melting – fast.

There are no scientists worth their salt who argue against global warming – only spokespeople shilling for corporations.

But Don, THERE IS NO GLOBAL WARMING! I mean really, you are a follower of one of Washington’s biggest cretins–AL BORE-GORE. I mean take a good look at that guy, does he not honestly belong in a used-car-sales parking lot?? At least do some research and realize that there is opposition to your narrow-tunnel vision by very great experts in this field. Or just be ignorant, your choice.

I agree Don; global warming is genocide, and governments/corporations that refuse to fall in line towards a carbon-free world should be tried at the international criminal courts.

Now take a look at this and next I will sent the new map and take a look at the new World and see the Brazilian Amazon in just a few years.

WASHINGTON — Global warming is messing with the planet’s thermostat.

That warning came Thursday from Richard Spinrad, head of research at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in releasing the annual update of science’s Arctic report card.

Warming temperatures continue in the polar north, changing wind patterns, melting sea ice and glaciers and affecting ocean and land life, the report said.

The Arctic is a sort of natural regulator in terms of the amount of heat stored in the ocean and ice, “especially the loss of sea ice is messing with that thermostat for the whole globe,” Spinrad said at a briefing.

A particular problem is the disappearance of old, thick sea ice that has been present for thousands of years, added James Overland of NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Research Laboratory.

“It’s very difficult to get that (ice) back,” he said.

Among the findings of the update:

_Air temperatures over the Arctic Ocean reached an unprecedented 7 degrees Fahrenheit (4 Celsius) above normal in October-December of 2008.

_There is evidence that the higher air temperatures are causing changes in the air circulation in both the Arctic and northern mid-latitudes.

_The area covered by sea ice this summer was 25 percent below the average from 1979 to 2000 and was the third since satellite records were begun in 1979.

_The melting ice resulted in an unprecedented amount of fresh water in the surface layer of the Arctic Ocean.

_The amount of land covered by snow in the winters of 2007-08 and 2008-09 continued the trend toward shorter snow seasons due to earlier spring melt, although there is considerable annual and regional variability. AP

_There is evidence that the higher air temperatures are causing changes in the air circulation in both the Arctic and northern mid-latitudes.
