As parts of Canada, Greenland and Russia are hit by -40 degrees temperatures (anomalies at the bottom end of the scale), parts of the Arctic are experiencing temperatures above freezing (anomalies at the top end of the scale), as illustrated by the image below. [ click on image to enlarge ]Temperatures in the Arctic are much higher than they used to be and this situation further accelerates warming in the Arctic, due to a number of feedbacks.One such feedbacks has been coined the ‘open doors...

Earlier this month, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its 5th Assessment Report (AR5), stating that: "Surface temperature is projected to rise over the 21st century under all assessed emission scenarios. It is very likely that heat waves will occur more often and last longer, and that extreme precipitation events will become more intense and frequent in many regions. The ocean will continue to warm and acidify, and global mean sea level to rise. Many aspects of climate...

by Nick BreezeThe very least 'global warming' could do for us is to give us warmer winters, right? Wrong, writes Nick Breeze, who met climate scientist and meteorologist Jennifer Francis in his attempt to understand the complex interactions of jet stream, polar vortex, the melting Arctic, and the extreme snowfall that's hitting the northeast US right now."Historic" snowfalls have the US northeast this week, with Buffalo, New York under an astonishing 2.4m (8ft) of snow - enough to cause some...

Ocean Temperature RiseOf all the excess heat that results from people's emissions, 93.4% goes into oceans. Accordingly, the temperature of oceans has risen substantially.NOAA analysis shows that the most recent 12-month period, November 2013–October 2014, broke the record (set just last month) for the all-time warmest 12-month period in the 135-year period of record. The global oceans were the warmest on record for October. For January–October, the average global sea surface temperature was also...

BOS TUTORIAL - Lucu juga judul Postingan Kali ini. Panjang banget. Tapi tujuannya agar gampang di mengerti dan dicerna oleh kita semua. Hehehehehe.... Ehh... sebagai basa-basi nih, Baru-baru ini kan Harga BBM dinaikkan oleh Presiden Kita, Ir. Joko Widodo. Bagaimana tanggapan Anda mengenai hal ini. Kalao menurut MasBro sih, sah-sah saja. Asal tujuannya baik dan benar-benar penempatannya (dana subsidi). Eh... malah omongin soal Harga BBM.... maaf ya cuma basa-basi saja... Kembali ke topik permasalahan....

Methane is erupting in huge amounts from the seafloor of the Arctic Ocean, as illustrated by the images below, showing methane over the East Siberian Arctic Shelf on October 31, 2014.The top image on the right shows methane at an altitude of 19,820 feet (6,041 m), on October 31, 2014, pm, as captured by the MetOp1 satellite.The middle image shows the location of the seas north of Siberia, and shows methane over the Arctic Ocean close to sea level, for reference.The bottom image is an animation,...
