After waiting at the potential eruption site for five days, it has finally started. I’m on location right now documenting it all. Stay tuned for updates!

One contributor to the devastating floods in the Northeast is its very slow moving. That’s due to (again) a very strong high latitude block over Greenland. It’s an atmospheric traffic jam… the NE storm is stuck behind it. It’s likely partially a symptom of climate heating…

On asking one of the world's most authoritative polar specialists for a statement on the unprecedented deficit of Antarctic sea ice and if it will continue:
"Have we got into a regime shift? A few of us are sort of speculating that that may be true..."

A reminder of how certain climate scientists are that the climate change caused by human activity: “confidence…had reached a “five-sigma” level, meaning there is only a one-in-a-million chance that the signal would appear if there was no warming.” reuters.com/article/us-clima…

Greenland land ice is *not* recovering 🧊
This confusion/misinformation (which happens every summer) arises from considering surface mass balance versus total mass loss. Summer melt/runoff + calving leads to a net loss compared to added snow.

A 2nd heat wave is forcasted for the beginning of July by MAR over the Greenland ice sheet with exceptional meltwater runoff. Due to the 1st heat wave a couple of days ago, the snowpack has lost its capacity to retain massive production of meltwater, in particular at the South

We are often asked whether covering #glaciers with geotextiles can be a solution to protect glaciers from climate change. This picture, taken last summer at #Rhonegletscher, might leave little doubt that the answer is “no”… #GhostsOfGlacierPast 👻

Unprecedented warmth and melt in Greenland this September. Some places average more than +8°C above seasonal average for the month.
Meanwhile, Planet Earth records its 4th warmest September on record.

Would you still call #glacier ice loss in 2022 "extreme"? It's rather a devastating hurricane.
Mass change is so far beyond historical variability (1961-2021) that - statistically - it's virtually impossible. However, we should get used to the impossible in the #ClimateCrisis !
