Climate Letter #1074

A documentary view of how rising temperatures caused by climate change can create an “invisible disaster.”  The effects are not dramatic, and may not even be noticed, but they add up and the total damage compares with that of the various extreme events (including major heatwaves) that make more headlines.

Professor John Abraham describes the four most important ways that global oceans are affected by the way we are changing the atmosphere.  Here is one of his comments that makes a  good point—“Since the oceans absorb so much of our carbon pollution and the resulting heat (94% of the extra heat), they turn a short-term problem into a long-term problem. Just like a fly wheel can be used to store rotating energy in a machine, the oceans store heat energy and chemical energy that can later manifest itself.”

How the loss of ice at the poles affects the rest of the globe.  The actual climate change in the Arctic is especially dramatic and disturbing.  The way ice is being lost is in many ways due to the warming of ocean water (as it was described in the story above) and may very well be irreversible because that particular kind of warmth is so durable.  Also, as others have suggested before, “increasingly, the picture is becoming clearer that the loss of ice and the wobblier jet streams seem to be correlated.
–Today’s Weather Map is especially interesting.  See how today’s average air temperatures in the middle of the Arctic ocean, where it is now dark for 24 hours a day, are about the same as those in Kansas, while Minnesota and other states are much colder yet.  Then click on the Anomaly link for a really topsy-turvy view of things.  You might also check out the Eastern and Western Hemispheres anomaly comparison down below.

The US is again withdrawing its membership in UNESCO—what does this mean?  The full story is quite complicated, not just about money, and the US still plans to “cooperate” with many of its activities.  Those activities are well-described in this article from Mongabay.  The ones connected to climate and the environment are in need of a great deal of strengthening at this time in the face of rapidly unfolding events which are of little interest to the Trump administration, creating much uncertainty about how it will participate.
