A lot going on when it comes to Climate Change. It's all interconnected.

The IceBridge scientists measured the Larsen C fracture to be about 70 miles long, more than 300 feet wide and about a third of a mile deep. The crack completely cuts through the ice shelf but it does not go all the way across it – once it does, it will produce an iceberg roughly the size of the state of Delaware

An Ice Shelf Twice the Size of Manhattan Is About to Break Off From Antarctica

The good news is that ice shelves don't produce sea level rise just by breaking away - they're already floating ice shelves that are simply attached to the perimeter of Antarctica. But the bad news is that, when they're attached, they slow down ice loss from the centre of the continent, and when that process speeds up, it does contribute to sea level rise.

Starvation killed 80,000 reindeer after unusual Arctic rains cut off the animals’ food supply

Reindeer can stamp through ice about three-quarters of an inch thick, using their feet to access the nutritious lichen and plants below. But in early November 2006 and 2013, the ice was an order of magnitude deeper — up to several inches, too tough even for the reindeer’s sharp hoofs. Unable to eat, the animals died

“As the relatively warm water becomes exposed, vapor forms and air humidity increases,” Forbes said. “The more extensive the open water (or with jumbled, fractured ice in loose concentrations), the more moisture available to increase atmospheric humidity.”

And with that wetter air comes rain.

1,500 reindeer dead, 40 humans hospitalized amid anthrax outbreak in Siberia | VICE News

At least 40 people from nomadic communities in northern Siberia have been hospitalized amid an anthrax outbreak that scientists believe was caused by thawing reindeer carcasses.

Northern Siberia has been hit with a bout of weird weather, including a heatwave that has led to record-high temperatures. In the Yamal tundra, which sits above the Arctic Circle, temperatures soared to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, compared to the average of 77 degrees this time of the year. Scientists have linked the heatwave to climate change.

First Mammal Declared Extinct Due to Climate Change, Scientists Say

Coral with leaves: Millions of trees join the list of climate change casualties

Just a few years after mountain pine beetles killed millions of acres of lodgepole pine forests in the Rocky Mountains, the U.S. Forest Service is reporting widespread tree deaths in drought-hammered Southern California. Even Europe's cool, moist forests have been losing trees at a fast rate. Large-scale simultaneous forest loss on different continents could have an impact on forests' ability to absorb atmospheric carbon, scientists say.

Scientists have increasingly linked forest mortality with climate impacts—and in Southern California, it is most directly tied to a steady increase in droughts that weaken trees, making them more susceptible to pine beetles. A 2015 study in the journal Geophysical Research Letters found that human-caused warming "substantially increased the overall likelihood of extreme California droughts."

In a way, I'm glad I'm old. I won't see the disaster that's coming to the planet. Just when things are passing a tipping point, ignorant right wingers all over the world are taking power. The evidence is right there. Right in front of us. It's not that right wingers don't see it. It's they refuse to see it. A true determined ignorance.

It's like the right wing with Donald Trump. So sure he is going to bring them high paying jobs requiring no skills or education. Who could believe something so ridiculous? Unfortunately, half of America believes it.

Most people admit climate change happens, derp. Its the AGW bullshit that gets people. You are basically denying history just so you can say cow farts and volkswagons do it. Its politically pathetic.

Weather Channel bitch slaps Breitbart.

Note to Breitbart: Earth Is Not Cooling, Climate Change Is Real and Please Stop Using Our Video to Mislead Americans

The Breitbart article – a prime example of cherry picking, or pulling a single item out of context to build a misleading case – includes this statement: "The last three years may eventually come to be seen as the final death rattle of the global warming scare."

In fact, thousands of researchers and scientific societies are in agreement that greenhouse gases produced by human activity are warming the planet’s climate and will keep doing so.

-----------------

If the right couldn't cherry pick, use out of context or flat out lie, what else would they have?

 

[Billy_Bob]

The Weather Channel is FAKE NEWS.... It will parrot AGW lies and talking points devoid of factual science...

 

[Billy_Bob]

Another fake news thread from the AGW fear mongers... Almost thought it was a breathless Mathew thread from all the lies and unprovable hyperbole.

 

[Old Rocks]

Ah yes, an atmospheric physicist whose only answer to scientists is an idiotic cartoon. LOL Yes, it is all interconnected, as we see with an arctic that has experianced extreme warmth this winter, while other areas are colder than usual. And adolescents that lie will hardly change any of that, Silly Billy.

 

[Billy_Bob]

Every one of the events in the OP are NATURAL CYCLICAL EVENTS... NATURAL VARIATION...

The desperation of the left half wits is priceless....

Yep... it is called an interglacial cycle.
I wouldn't be surprised if global temperatures rose another 1.4C to 2.4C because of it.

Yes I have heard it is causing the rise in crime and the reason democrats mass stupidity ,It's the reason my right eye twitches, and Joe soils himself every day when just 10 years ago he only did once or twice a week. If that don't prove global warming, climate change, Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall If I were you I would STOP and you will see your ignorance If you are glad you are old then you must remember when smog hung over every city. Not only your lungs and eyes burned but your skin. Acid rain ate the paint off your car. Some days you were warned not to go out if you could avoid the toxic shit. Over half our waterways you couldn't swim or fish It really sucked then we cleaned it up in the early 70's. Maybe when China starts getting sick because of the shit maybe they will clean up their act.Like I sxqaid if you are old you don't have a very good memory
