Alberta blizzard worst April blow in 20 years

“It's worse if you're driving in from the east”

Spring has turned into a cruel joke in Alberta, where a late-season blizzard dumped heavy snow on much of the province Sunday and created near-whiteout conditions on highways in the province's northeast. via National Post

WEST GLACIER, Mont.— This summer, for the first time in Glacier National Park's 100-year history, Gem Glacier was entirely snow-free, a glistening sheet of bare ice sweating dark and blue under a relentless sun.

Fagre initially pegged "zero" at about 2030, the year his models suggested the last of the glaciers would be gone from their namesake park.

"But we're about eight and a half years ahead of schedule," he said. "Our initial projection has proved too conservative. They're going faster than we thought."

Little ice fairies are running in at night and stealing ice, they'll bring it back later.

Like the two mice on treadmills that occupy your cranium.

I really hope you aren't in the business of education. Because someone is getting ripped off.

Must be global freezing.

I'm sure Mr Burns will be in here spurting some more drivel, and a couple other Homers will follow suit like good little lost village idiots.

Deputy Director of the Institute of Oceanology (Russian Academy of Sciences) Professor Mikhail Flint, who headed the expedition, explained: "We have chosen the Kara Sea for several reasons. On the one hand, it is influenced by the waters flowing into the Arctic Sea from the Atlantic; on the other, it is a classic Siberian sea with an enormous shelf, into which two mighty rivers - the Ob and the Yenisey discharge their waters."

A shelf affects the Arctic climate. "The Arctic is changing under the impact of global processes, and is in turn influencing the climate. This interdependent system is affected by some threshold processes (for instance, water vertical mixing), which may cause masses of ice to melt," Professor Flint explained.

In general, in the last 12 years, the Arctic's ice cover has been reduced by 25%-27%, while ice has become thinner. In 2006-2007, it decreased by 1.5 million square kilometers. This was an unprecedented reduction in the 50 years of monitoring. It was caused by many hydrologic and hydro-physical consequences of changes in the global temperature.

Melting permafrost methane emissions: The other threat to climate change

15 September 2006
A frozen peat bog covering the entire sub-Arctic area of Western Siberia, the size of France and Germany, contains billions of tonnes of greenhouse gas that is melting for the first time since since it was sequestered more than 11,000 years ago before the end of the last ice age.

Researchers Sergei Kirpotin of Tomsk State University in Siberia, and Judith Marquand of Oxford University first reported in 2005 that one million square kilometres of permafrost had started to melt.

Such an unprecedented thaw could dramatically increase the rate of global warming.

A study published in the September 7th issue of Nature authored by Katey Walter of the University of Alaska, and Jeff Chanton of Florida State University reports that greenhouse gas is escaping into the atmosphere at a frightening rate.

When Siberian permafrost melts, carbon buried since the Pleistocene era is bubbling to the surface of lakes, and dissipating into the atmosphere as methane, a greenhouse gas 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide.



Global warming gases trapped in the soil is being released from thawing permafrost at five times the rate previously thought. Researchers warn it may set off a climate change time bomb.

Only the densest people on the face of the earth don't admit it. And try to say because it SNOWED IN CANADA IN APRIL that it's a myth. WOW it SNOWED IN CANADA IN APRIL THIS YEAR....

I'm passing more methane right now...

Large wave in South Korea kills 9, injures 14

By HYUNG-JIN KIM

The Associated Press

May 04, 2008

At least nine people were killed and 14 others injured Sunday after being swept away by a sudden large wave that crashed over a breakwater on South Korea's west coast, the Coast Guard said.

The wave _ believed to have been as high as 16 feet _ slammed over the breakwater near a beach southwest of Seoul where dozens of people had been fishing and sightseeing, said Lee Won-il, a local Korea Coast Guard officer...

Surge in fatal shark attacks blamed on global warming - 150 comments there so far

http://www.topix.net/tech/2008/05/surge-in-fa...

Some experts suggest that an abundance of seals has attracted high numbers of sharks, while others believe that overfishing has hit their food chain.

'I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it's a convenient excuse,' Burgess said.

Another contributory factor to the location of shark attacks could be global warming and rising sea temperatures.
