Today, Megan and I drove to Höfn and then drove gravel roads to Hoffellsjökull glacier and Heinabergslón glacial lagoon.

Glaciers are going away, some slower, some faster. But we are losing them at an alarming rate. Do you want to know when if the glacier closer to you will vanish? This is a handy database to look for that.

Documents shed light on the earliest-known instance of #ClimateScience funded by the #FossilFuel industry, adding to growing understanding of #BigOil ’s knowledge of #ClimateChange . Fossil fuel industry sponsored climate science in 1954.
February 1, 2024, Rebecca John
Excerpt: "Unknown until now, however, is the fact that Keeling’s earliest research into carbon dioxide across the western U.S. was funded in part by the fossil fuel industry via a private foundation — and that in 1954 this foundation was informed of the potential impact of manmade carbon dioxide emissions on both the climate and human civilization.
"Newly discovered documents affirm that the #automobile and #petroleum industries funded early climate science #Keeling conducted at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) between 1954 and 1956. Records show that 'oil and auto companies' sponsored the scientist’s research via an organization called the Southern California Air Pollution Foundation, formed in 1953 to tackle Los Angeles’s infamous smog. American Motors, #Chrysler, #Ford, and #GeneralMotors were among 18 automotive companies that gave money to the foundation.
"A 1959 internal U.S. Public Health Service memo also identifies the #AmericanPetroleumInstitute ( #API ) and the #WesternOilAndGasAssociation — the oldest petroleum trade association in the U.S., which is now known as the #WesternStatesPetroleumAssociation — as 'major contributors to the funds of the Air Pollution Foundation.' Its Board of Trustees included top-level representatives from the Southern California Gas Company, the Southern California Edison Co., Chrysler, General Motors, and Union Oil (now #Chevron).
"And from mid-1955, these trustees were also appraised of research projects by a seven-man 'technical advisory committee,' which included a senior official from API as well as scientists from the Richfield Oil Corporation (now #BP ) and #Chrysler.
"With the discovery of these Air Pollution Foundation documents, it is now possible to date the earliest sponsorship of climate science by the fossil fuel industry to 1954, approximately a quarter of a century before Exxon’s internal research program of the late 1970s. These new documents provide important evidence that the fossil fuel industry has been intricately connected to climate science from its earliest beginnings — not only as a driver of the greenhouse effect behind climate change, but also as a contributor to the scientific discoveries that would transform our understanding of humanity’s relationship with the Earth and its atmosphere.

Collapsing Mountains In Alaska Are Causing Massive Tsunamis
Alexandre Rosa/Alamy Stock Photo Sasha Calvey heard the tsunami coming. It was after 5:30 a.m. on Aug. 10, 2025, and she was camped with two friends on a remote island in Southeast Alaska. They were 74 days into a sea kayaking trip from Washington. Heavy rain had fallen overnight, with gusts that swayed the spruce and hemlocks overhead. From her sleeping bag inside the tent, Calvey heard waves tumbling against the shore.......Continue reading.... By: Tim Lydon Source:High Country […] -

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: ❄️🧊 #Antarctica looks empty from above, but researchers find signs of #history and life hidden deep beneath the #ice.
Cleo Abram talks with scientists about subglacial #lakes and ice cores that act as a frozen timeline of our #atmosphere. The remote environments could help us understand how life might survive on icy moons like #Jupiter's #Europa.

Ah, the classic tale of #glaciers playing hide-and-seek! 🌍🔍 Instead of tackling the melting ice, let's barricade knowledge behind a digital fortress and call it 'security'. Because nothing screams climate action like a 404 page. 🙄❄️

Why are climate change alarmists worried about the melting Antarctic ice when glacial rebound will cause land to rise, thereby counteracting the rise in sea levels?

Glaciers at the border of Spain /France are shrinking at an alarming rate in recent years, losing 40% area between 2020-23.
The glaciers Infiernos, Monte Perdido and Aneto lost ice thickness more 3x more quickly in 2021-2023 compared to the ten year period prior to 2020!

Thwaites Glacier, which has an area on par of that of Florida, is melting - quickly!
"Each year Thwaites loses about 50 billion tons of ice, which comprises roughly 4% of all sea-level rise worldwide"
The trouble is, just how fast it's melting isn't really known. Given that if it melted completely the resulting global sea level rise could be over 50 cm, it's a pretty important question to answer!

This is really interesting, and it's great that we can learn so much about the past from the well-preserved artefacts, but it's just a shame that we have to be destroying the Earth to do it...

Hi fedi!

Latest research on Glaciers decline is not good news, with implications for water supply for human consumption and agriculture, flood events and Sea Level Rise...
Researchers found 49% of glaciers would disappear under the most optimistic scenario of 1.5C of warming. If global heating continued under the current scenario of 2.7C of warming, losses would be more significant, with 68% of glaciers disappearing,
This will significantly contribute to sea level rise, threaten the supply of water of up to 2 billion people, and increase the risk of natural hazards such as flooding. The study looked at all glacial land ice except for Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets.
