Their aim, #JDVance said in a video, is to check up on #Greenland’s security, because *unnamed other countries* could “use its territories & its waterways to threaten the United States.” And these are real concerns for the #UnitedStates, rooted in #ClimateChange: As #PolarIce melts away, superpowers are vying for newly open #ShippingRoutes in the #ArcticOcean & largely unexplored #mineral & #FossilFuel reserves.

A Warming Climate Continues to Ravage Sea Ice at Both Poles

Even as winter takes hold in the Arctic, sea ice there is growing sluggishly. In Antarctica, summer’s arrival has driven sea ice to near-record lows.

Polar ice is melting and changing Earth’s rotation. It’s messing with time itself

One day in the next couple of years, everyone in the world will lose a second of their time. Exactly when that will happen is being influenced by human activities.

Plenty of #Eclipse conspiracy theories around. Mine is... What if #PolarIce was "glue" holding Earth's #TectonicPlates together? Now, the climate-weakend "glue" allows #GraviticForce of #Lunar / #Solar alignment to pull the planet apart! Or... #Vampires will emerge during #Totality, taking advantage of our assembled masses – craned necks exposed as we focus all attention skyward.

Hi Ruth,

I can't think of a more adequate person to ask the following.
This post states that "the #Arctic #OceanIce is *not* considered to be a tipping point anymore."

True?

@Galjan@eu.mastodon.green @incoherentmumblings@social.dev-wiki.de @klimavoracht@mastodon.social @tagesschau@ard.social @ZDF@zdf.social Dazu, dass das Arktische Meereseis überraschend *nicht* mehr als Kipppunkt gilt: "Modelling now shows that this heat transfer during the Arctic summer does not overcome the cooling and the formation of new ice during the Arctic winter. As such, the loss of Arctic ice during the summer is not a tipping point for as long as the Arctic winter remains cool enough to enable the formation of new Arctic sea ice." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipping_points_in_the_climate_system 2/2

COP28: Earth's frozen zones are in trouble – we're already seeing the consequences

The world is on track to exceed 2°C warming within the next five years, with dire consequences for polar ice, mountain glaciers and permafrost – and human society.

Greenland’s mountain glaciers and floating ice shelves are melting faster than they were just a few decades ago and becoming destabilized, according to two new studies. #climate #polarice #climatechange https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/09/climate/greenland-glaciers-ice-melt.html

Greenland’s Glaciers Are Melting Faster

Some glaciers on the island are melting at double the rate of just a few decades ago.
