Our summers are ...........You don't go OUTSIDE from 10am - 4pm or your going to burn in 10 mins or less on certain days

But here it takes hours to get a sun burn.
I remember sailing once in the Stockholm archipelago though when I was dressed but forgot to wear socks.
For about 12 hours!
It wasn't before bedtime that my feets started to ache.
And then the mosquitos came...

I'm looking forward to the future summers in the Arctic regions.

It use to be a tropical rain forest many hundred of thousands of year ago. ;-)

Cheers.

Finally, there will be a 'Northwest Passage'.

There is and it was used commercially last summer by a cruise ship.

To the deniers.
It's starting to be you deniers should think again!

Without bumble bees and bees, much of our food production would be impossible. These pollen rallies create the conditions for all living. Around the world, the growing concern is that natural polliners are dying out and replaced by fast-growing bees and bumblebees in large factories. We face a threat whose consequences we can not imagine, a silent environmental disaster.

WARNING WARNING

There is another El-Nino forming in the pacific ocean within the next 6 months .

There has been a increase of 5 ppm Co2 in the last 12 months . This should continue or possibly get even higher with the El-Nino now forming

The El-Nino's are forming more often now another sign the Run away green house effect is happening now .

@ 5ppm we only have 38 years till the danger level and to think only last year we had 63 years left

Any more Deniers out there still ????

The Arctic Is Getting Crazy
Major Report Prompts Warnings That the Arctic Is Unraveling
The polar region is warming more than twice as fast as the rest of the planet
In the past year the climate in the Arctic has at times bordered on the absurd.
Temperatures were 30 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit above average in some places during the recent Christmas week.
Through November the area of ice-covered ocean in the region reached a record low in seven of 11 months—an unprecedented stretch.

Likewise in the Antartic:(

A glacier in northeastern Antarctica is about to divide and create a gigantic iceberg. The crack has now begun to open up faster and has began to branch out, announced researchers on Wednesday.
https://cleantechnica.com/2017/05/03/larsen-c-ice-shelf-crack-antarctica-growing-new-second-branch-moving-ice-front/

The iceberg is estimated to be around 6500 square kilometers. The iceberg would thus be 300,000 times larger than the iceberg that sank Titanic and one of the largest shelf glaciers in Antarctica would be severely destabilized.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will host foreign ministers from Arctic nations at a summit in Alaska on Thursday, where President Donald Trump's reluctance to fight climate change will likely cast a shadow over talks.

US Former President Richard Nixon was - perhaps somewhat unexpected - a real environmentalist.
He started the US Conservation Agency, EPA, whose role Donald Trump now weakens significantly.
In an urgent speech to Congress in 1972, Republican Nixon was clear that environmental issues could not wait.
"We must act, and act firmly. It is now or never. Time is for humanity to end peace with nature", he said.
The current US President Donald Trump's environmental policy is on the contrary against Nixon's pioneering work.
Trump obstruct EPA's work by cutting down the funds and adding a head, Scott Pruitt, who does not believe that human CO2 emissions contribute to climate change.
Trump has also weakened the water protection act, as Nixon laid the groundwork for, and signed on presidential orders that unleash the regulations regarding emissions from oil companies, industries and farmers.

Antarctica is home to ice, penguins and -- thanks to climate change -- rapidly increasing levels of moss, scientists say.
Moss banks, found across parts of the western Antarctic Peninsula, have grown dramatically over the past 50 years, according to a study published in the scientific journal Current Biology.
Moss growth has "increased by 4 or 5 times" in the past five decades, according to Tom Roland, one of the co-authors of the report.

Moss is dark and absorbs sunlight. Ice is white and reflects sunlight. Is the moss driving climate change? Or does the moss eat enough CO2 to offset the additional absorption of sunlight?

Yes. Moss have become more common here in the Arctic regions.
Sorry to say that moss doesn't eat enough CO2 to change the climate change.
Moss only grow between May and September.

Bad news to us climate change belivers!

Up to half of the Great Barrier Reef may have died in last two years from back-to-back bleachings. :-(

Yes. I saw recently a documentary about it.
The signs of global warming all over the world are becoming more and more alarming!

Some more uplifting news...
According to a new study from European researchers, sea levels are rising three times as quickly as they were 25 years ago, placing hundreds of millions of people living in coastal areas at risk.
A United Nations panel on climate change warned that they expected sea levels to climb between 12 and 39 inches by the year 2100.
In the worst case scenario, places like the San Jose Valley, New Orleans, Miami, Tampa, Quebec City, Vancouver, Alexandria, most of The Netherlands, Lisbon, Venice, Shenzhen, Ho Chi Minh City and others would be submerged.

Watch the moment when Sir David Attenborough and BBC filmmakers recorded chunks of ice falling from a glacier.
