Bit dreamy, bit wide and epic.
Always kinda liked this one.
Yes, including the Peruvian street band vibe! :p

Inside the race to understand Greenland’s ‘climate tipping point’.
An international team of scientists is determined to understand just how quickly Greenland’s melting glaciers are pushing the Atlantic Ocean towards a “critical climate tipping point”.
They’ll also trial a prototype ‘Early Warning System’ for glacier change in Greenland, as ice melt continues to accelerate.

🚀🗺️ Breaking News: After the US's imaginary conquests of Venezuela, the world is now trembling in #fear of the next logical step—an #invasion of the icy paradise of Greenland! 😱 Who knew global domination included taking over a landmass known for #icebergs and minimal human habitation? 🌨️🌍

New preprint just landed in @EGUsphere for #TheCryosphere - it's about our fieldwork in NW #Greenland near Qaanaaq - so if you're interested in #glaciers, calving, #icebergs and melange go check it out...
#NCKF(May blog it later if I get time, still trying to finalise another paper for resubmission #ScienceNeverSleeps

Well, in fairness (not that fairness is really a thing in this dire picture), the new US ship captain will be passing out blinders to all of his crew. So the other captains might be waiting to see how that goes.
And the change at the helm will bring new flexibilty--admittedly, not in physics, but in how to ignore physics with real flare...not that there will be other ships around capable of responding to such flares.

In all seriousness, though, while people already sold on the urgency of climate change can see cartoons like this and understand them, I actually think that this presentation promotes a misunderstanding of a serious nature.
Climate change is not a big event that suddenly happens in one particular moment, like the impact with an iceberg, or an asteroid strike in Don't Look Up. But metaphors like this, well meaning as they are in their intent that you focus on different aspects of the analogy, support the particular kind of denial that the new crew will be using a lot of: pointing to the absence of some singular cataclysm like that is proof none is coming.
And the picture also makes it look like at any time we could just change course and all would be well. It also supports the metaphor that any single person could be the superhero that swoops in to save us by making that singular, smart course correction in any moment before the cataclysm. Neither the problem nor its possible solutions, if any remain at this point, are as crisp and neat and simple as that.
Climate change, at this point, is more like an endless array of ever-more-densely packed icebergs with a lot of small boats each having the creeping realization that this was not the path we should be on and that there isn't any easy way out of the maze. We watch as our fellow ships, one by one, crash into less dramatic-looking, yet equally deadly, smaller bergs and tell ourselves that this is not what's coming for us, that icebergs of that size are normal, that historically many boats do not get sunk by icebergs, that we'll be fine.

I've been so busy reading about hurricanes with half of my brain and reading about weird bird and mammal anatomy with the other half that I haven't listened to @KateShaw 's new episode yet:
https://strangeanimalspodcast.blubrry.net/2024/10/07/episode-401-el-gran-maja-and-other-giant-eels/
I'm glad the bloop got featured again, as it is among my favorite noises, even if it's not an animal noise.

If you're an #IceSheetModelling #scientist, interested in #Calving + #Icebergs then #CaMIP might be for you...

Vous aimez les #sciences ? Vous aimez #Feldup ? Vous kiffez cette mode des #Icebergs ? Parfois vous aimeriez connaître le côté sombre d'un @HygieneMentale ou d'un @RichardMonvoisin ? Alors cette vidéo est faite pour vous. Attention cependant, dès le début ca peut être difficile. Vu que ca traite des pires expériences scientifiques, c'est assez glauque dès le début.

The summer solstice is #Greenland's National Day
PILLUARIT!
Slightly unusually, the ablation season (net ice loss from melt) has yet to start in Greenland, surface melt is average for the time of year. Fresh snow is also still adding ice to the #IceSheet.
A start to the surface ablation season after the 21st June has only happened 4 times since 2000 - but was much more common in in the 80s + 90s.
Remember though - #ice is still lost by #calving of #icebergs -
It was overcast and dull at Jökulsárlón last time I was there. But the icebergs in the smooth water mesmerised me. So beautiful and so still. #iceland #Jökulsárlón #glaciallake #icebergs #Travel

Underwater Tsunami Created By Collapse Of Antarctic Glacier’s Front End
The front end of #glaciers in #Antarctica that flow to the coast break apart due to melting, creating #icebergs. These are known as #calving events, and they can have dramatic consequences. Not only are large chunks of ice then free to move and reach lower latitudes, the process can also create powerful “internal #tsunamis” that profoundly alter the #ocean.
