DJ, Climate collapse has close but complex links with pandemics. Animals (and plants) have to move to other areas to survive or face increasing problems in finding food.

More icebergs, which lie south of the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf, are also quietly moving. Until yesterday, these icebergs were still very solid against the seabed. https://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/index.php/topic,1760.950.html#lastPost or https://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/index.php/topic,1760.950.html#lastPost DJ, Very likely SEVERAL glaciers in West Antarctica breaking up... https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/01/heat-flux-forecast-to-enter-arctic-early-february-2025.html or https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/01/heat-flux-forecast-to-enter-arctic-early-february-2025.html ; A heat flux is forecast to enter the Arctic early February 2025 that could raise temperatures to levels more than 30°C higher than 1979-2000, as illustrated by the above forecast for February 2, 2025 12Z, run January 25, 2025 06Z by Climate Reanalyzer. The situation has been described in earlier posts, most recently in this post, which adds that as temperatures rise, a lot of heat is accumulating in the North Atlantic and at its surface. Much of that heat can be pushed abruptly into the Arctic by strong longitudinal wind, accompanied by sudden acceleration of the Gulf Stream and its extension northward, as also illustrated by the image on the right. A sudden influx of heat can cause dramatic and rapid sea ice decline, with huge amounts of methane erupting abruptly from the seafloor, all contributing strongly to the further temperature rise, which in turn comes with further feedbacks, such as more water vapor ending up in the atmosphere, as illustrated by the image below. DJ, The jet-stream going "wild" bringing very cold weather in parts of North America-much to much warmth to the Arctic... |

DJ, Lots of climate experts are alarming people for years...
https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/p/extinction.html or https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/p/extinction.html ; Will humans be extinct by 2026? - https://guymcpherson.com/ or https://guymcpherson.com/ DJ, Tend to go towards "we are living in extra time".... https://paulbeckwith.net/2023/03/10/can-ecological-economics-let-us-survive-and-reset-adjusting-to-abrupt-climate-system-change/ or https://paulbeckwith.net/2023/03/10/can-ecological-economics-let-us-survive-and-reset-adjusting-to-abrupt-climate-system-change/ DJ, Paul Beckwith https://www.reddit.com/r/climatechange/comments/pld7rv/is_the_concept_of_a_blue_ocean_event_a_real/?rdt=48162 or https://www.reddit.com/r/climatechange/comments/pld7rv/is_the_concept_of_a_blue_ocean_event_a_real/?rdt=48162 ; The term “blue ocean event” refers to the waters of the Arctic being ice free. The IPCC predicts, with high confidence, that the Arctic sea will experience ice free summers at the end of the century, or perhaps sooner. Exactly when this will occur is unclear, and it is generally thought that, unlike on-land ice sheets, sea ice does not exhibit tipping point behavior past which melt is irreversible. This interactive piece by Carbon Brief lays this topic out very cleanly and thoroughly. Regarding the ramifications of an ice-free Arctic, it is important to note that the melting of sea ice has a negligible effect on sea level rise, due to the fact that the volume of water it displaces is about equal to the volume it adds to the ocean as it melts. Sea level rise primarily comes from melting of ice sheets on land, like the ones in Greenland and Antarctica. DJ, Blue Ocean Event (BOE) risks may be more in the Arctic unable to cool the planet (then in sea water rise). Paul Beckwith did think of BOE... https://www.facebook.com/JoseBarbaNueva/ or https://www.facebook.com/JoseBarbaNueva/ has lots of further links... DJ, The IPCC is a political club serving the fossil fuel industry claiming there is room for extra CO2...Switching baselines for pre-industrial-a "need for 10 year average" still fails to keep their lies of "staying under 1,5C"... DJ-My view; -Global temperature very likely is over 2C+ since the 1700-1750...may be even getting close to +3C "soon" -Methane eruptions not only increase green house gas in the atmosphere-melt of permafrost may go "that explosive" it could become both a seismic event and release such amount of methane temperatures go up even much faster... -There is a point in trying to limit CO2 etc. We simply do not have all of the story...Maybe land-ice sliding into the oceans can save us ? In general I am very (over ?) pessimistic on climate collapse... |

Erratic. That is the word the KNMI used to summarise the weather in 2024. It is also the direction in which the climate is increasingly moving. The Netherlands is already experiencing more extreme precipitation than it did a few decades ago. “A more erratic climate is our new reality,” wrote director Maarten van Aalst in the annual report The State of our Climate. The increasing weather extremes are a cause for concern for the institute’s scientists. “We must be prepared for extremes we have never seen before,” warned Van Aalst. He added that there is still a lot of work to be done to better prepare the Netherlands for the consequences of climate change, such as the increasingly rapid rise in sea levels. The institute previously announced that 2024 was, on average, just as warm for the Netherlands as the record year 2023. The heat record was equaled without a heat wave and with only four tropical days when maximums topped 30 degrees at the national measuring station in De Bilt, which is relatively few. The explanation is that the minimum temperatures were very high. In De Bilt, there was not a single ice day when temperatures remained below zero all day. There were no ice days in 2023 either. The fact that this happened two years in a row has never happened before since temperature measurements began in 1901. The number of frost days, when temperatures remained below zero for part of the day, was 23 fewer than even last year. There were plenty of mild days. Wet days too. The KNMI counted 13 days with extreme precipitation with more than 50 millimeters of rain falling locally. That happens more often in the changing climate because warm air can absorb more water vapor than cold air. Between August 2023 and July 2024, the Netherlands experienced the wettest period ever measured. The number of days with heavy precipitation almost doubled in recent decades, from an average of five to nine per year. Last year, was therefore also an outlier in this respect, although it was not a record. 2021 counted 16 days with extremely heavy rainfall. It is clear to the KNMI that the climate is changing so strongly due to greenhouse gas emissions. “Twenty years ago, the question was: are we sure that it is due to emissions?” said director Van Aalst. Now, the big question is mainly when the tipping points in the climate will be reached, resulting in even more severe climate change. According to climate scientists, this chance increases considerably above a temperature increase of 1.5 degrees DJ; https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/global_weirding or https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/global_weirding ; Thomas L. Friedman (2007 December 2) “The People We Have Been Waiting For”, in New York Times[1]:
So the NL story is part of "global weirding"-a process recognized already in 2007...And very likely to get more crazy much faster...

https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/02/sea-ice-loss.html or https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/02/sea-ice-loss.html ;
Sea ice lossGlobal sea ice area was 13.43 million km² on February 2, 2025, the lowest area on record, as illustrated by the image below, adapted from seaice.visuals.earth. What is the difference between sea ice area and extent? Extent is the total region with at least 15% sea ice cover. Extent can include holes or cracks in the sea ice and melt ponds on top of the ice, all having a darker color than ice. Sea ice area is the total region covered by ice alone. Therefore, sea ice area is a critical measure in regard to albedo. Loss of sea ice area is a self-reinforcing feedback that causes the temperature to rise and further sea ice to melt, thus accelerating the temperature rise. Loss in albedo as a result of loss in sea ice is only one out of many feedbacks that come with rising temperatures. As warmer water flows into the Arctic Ocean, Arctic sea ice loses volume, which diminishes its capacity to act as a buffer that consumes ocean heat entering the Arctic Ocean from the North Atlantic. This means that a lot of incoming ocean heat can no longer be consumed by melting the sea ice from below, and the heat will therefore contribute to higher temperatures of the water of the Arctic Ocean. - There are many further mechanisms that are driving up, if not accelerating the temperature rise. A Blue Ocean Event is often defined as crossing a tipping point that is crossed when sea ice falls below 1 million km² in extent. Doesn't it make more sense to look at sea ice area, rather than at sea ice extent? Antarctic sea ice area was 1.05 million km² on Feb 22, 2023, and was 1.72 million km² on Feb 2, 2025.

https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/02/carbon-dioxide-reaches-record-high.html or https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/02/carbon-dioxide-reaches-record-high.html ;
The daily average carbon dioxide (CO₂) at Mauna Loa, Hawaii, was 428.60 parts per million (ppm) on February 6, 2025, the highest daily average on record. The previous record high was 428.59 ppm on April 26, 2024. To find higher levels, one needs to go back millions of years (see inset). CO₂ typically reaches its annual maximum in May, so even higher levels can be expected over the next few months. - According to NOAA, annual CO₂ at Mauna Loa was 421.08 ppm in 2023, and 424.61 ppm in 2024, a rise of 3.53 ppm and the highest annual growth on record. Monthly CO₂ was 422.80 in January 2024, and 426.65 ppm in January 2025, a rise of 3.85 ppm. The high growth in CO₂ indicates that emissions of carbon dioxide are increasing while carbon sinks are weakening at the same time. The above image and the image below are both part of an analysis of NOAA data discussed here, as part of an earlier post. The image below shows a trend, based on 2015-2024 annual data, pointing at 1200 ppm CO₂ getting crossed in the year 2032. - The above trend illustrates that the clouds tipping point could get crossed in early 2032 due to rising CO₂ alone, which on its own could push temperatures up by an additional 8°C. The clouds tipping point is actually at 1200 ppm CO₂e, so when growth of other greenhouse gases and further mechanisms are taken into account, the tipping point could be crossed much earlier than in 2032, possibly as early as in 2026, as discussed in an earlier post. - DJ, There is a lot of "methane uncertainty"...a large earthquake may release a lot of it-changing/worsening "the picture" high speed... https://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/index.php/topic,4329.50.html#bot or https://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/index.php/topic,4329.50.html#bot (Arctic); Projections.

Should people be told?The image below, made with a screenshot from Berkeley Earth, shows an annual average temperature rise of 3°C or more in 2050 in China for each of the three scenarios looked at. monthly temperature anomalies have been more than 1.5°C above 1903-1924 (custom base, not pre-industrial) for 19 consecutive months (July 2023 through January 2025). The anomaly is rising rapidly, the red line (2-year Lowess Smoothing trend) points at a 2°C rise in 2026 (compared to 1903-1924, which - as said - is not pre-industrial). - While La Niña conditions are definitely present in January 2025, the La Niña is expected to be short-lived. Temperatures are typically suppressed during La Niña. Despite temperatures being suppressed, the global surface air temperature reached 13.31°C on February 10, 2025, or 0.67°C above 1991-2020, according to ERA5 data. Temperatures keep rising, as indicated by the trends added to the data, despite La Niña. Will a new El Niño emerge in the course of 2025? According to an earlier analysis, the 2°C above pre-industrial threshold may already have been crossed and we're moving toward 3°C at a pace that is accelerating, rather than slowing down. Once more, isn't it high time for people to be told how dire the situation is?
