The NOAA map below shows sea surface temperature anomalies above 8 degrees Celsius in the Arctic Ocean.These anomalies are very high, considering that it is now June and the melting season has only just begun.Partly causing these high temperatures in the Arctic Ocean is water flowing into the Arctic Ocean from rivers. As the map below shows, a number of large rivers flowing through Siberia end in the Arctic Ocean.map from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rs-map.pngThe Naval Research Laboratory...
Roadmap for Repowering California for all Purposes with Wind, Water, and Sunlight
A study by Mark Z. Jacobson et al. concludes that California’s power needs (electricity, transportation, heating/cooling, industry) can be met entirely by WWS technologies.The necessary WWS (wind, water, and sunlight) technologies consist of wind turbines, concentrated solar power (CSP) plants, solar photovoltaic (PV) plants and rooftop systems, solar hot water heater systems, geothermal power plants, a few additional hydroelectric power plants, and a small amount of tidal and wave power.Transportation...
Earthquakes and Warm Water threaten Arctic
[ soucre: NOAA image - click to enlarge]A major earthquake hit the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, on June 23, 2014.The earthquake occurred at 51.797°N 178.760°E, 15 miles (24 km) southeast of Little Sitkin Island, Alaska, at a depth of 66.8 miles (107.5km).The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) earlier listed the earthquake at a magnitude of 8 on the Richter scale, but eventually gave the quake a magnitude of 7.9.Initial tsunami warnings, as reflected by the two NOAA images on the right,...

Warming of the Arctic Fueling Extreme Weather
Extreme weatherHeavy rains and floods hit Serbia and Bosnia in May 2014, as discussed in an earlier post.Later in May, further flooding hit central Europe. From May 30 to June 1, 2014, parts of Austria received the amount of rain that normally falls in two-and-half months: 150 to 200 mm (5.9 to 7.9"), with some parts experiencing 250 mm (9.8").What is fueling this extreme weather? Have a look at the image below.The image shows a number of feedbacks that are accelerating warming in the Arctic. Feedback...
Arctic Atmospheric Methane Global Warming Veil
The Arctic Atmospheric 'Methane Global Warming Veil'. Its Origin in the Arctic Subsea and Mantle and the Timing of the Global Terminal Extinction Events by 2040 to 2050 - A Review.By Malcolm P.R. Light, Harold Hensel and Sam CaranaJune 8th, 2014Abstract Methane formed by organisms in the water becomes trapped in the fabric of water ice crystals when it freezes and is stable below about 300 meters depth in the Arctic Ocean and on the shallow East Arctic Siberian Shelf. There are such massive...
