  3. Siberia's growing methane threat could offset 20% of global methane reduction targets by 2050

    The #Arctic is warming at an accelerating pace. As #permafrost thaws across vast areas and wildfires become more frequent, large amounts of #methane (CH4) are being released. Together, these changes are reshaping the region's #GreenhouseGas emissions and further intensifying climate change.

    In a study published in Science on August 6, an international team led by Professor Liu Yi from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics #IAP of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated how #CH4 #emissions in #Siberia are evolving under #ClimateChange. The study showed how atmospheric circulation promotes #wildfire activity and #methanogenesis and thereby drives the recent sharp rise in CH4 emissions.

  5. And no, I'm not the only one who has ever thought about it....
    But as the intercontinentalrailway.com railway webpage states:
    "technological, geopolitical, and financial challenges thwarted its construction time and time again”

    the tech and the finances are available. What still eludes us are the geopolitical conditions.

  6. If the world wasn't so full of greedy, idiotic, assholes we could have ultra high speed zero-emission electric trains connecting North America and Asia and we wouldn't need to pollute the skies or the seas.

    🤝

    We probably burn more fuel in a day with all the air traffic in the world than it would take to build the entire railway from Prince George or Edmonton through Fairbanks, across the Bering Sea/Land Bridge and on to Yakutsk, Moscow, and Beijing.

    It's such a shame, you know?

    The peninsula in eastern #Siberia features rugged terrain with towering, snow-covered peaks and cloud-filled valleys stretching between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Okhotsk.

    An astronaut aboard the International Space Station captured this photograph of the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia’s Far East region.

  11. Oooops! From 2010: "But Shakhova pointed out that scientists had not thought subsea permafrost would begin to thaw and release the gas. She said more research is needed to figure out whether the methane leaking from the #EastSiberianArcticShelf is an ongoing, steady phenomenon, or whether it suggests a new source of the gas is emerging as seafloor permafrost thaws."

    Methane Leaks off Siberian Coast, Speeding Climate Change

    Warmer oceans are thawing methane deposits, adding more of the greenhouse gas to the atmosphere

    By Lauren Morello & ClimateWire

    "A large amount of methane is bubbling up from the ocean floor east of Siberia at a surprising rate and could accelerate climate change, researchers said yesterday.

    The gas is bubbling up from the East Siberian Arctic Shelf because warming ocean water is thawing permafrost, allowing methane trapped underneath to escape. The amount of methane emitted by that one patch of seabed roughly equals the amount scientists believed was released by all of the world's oceans."

  12. A Massive #Methane Reservoir Is Lurking Beneath the Sea

    Scientists have found a methane reservoir below the #permafrost seabed of the #LaptevSea—a reservoir that could suddenly release large amounts of the potent #GreenhouseGas

    by Fanni Daniella Szakal
    27 April 2021

    "Methane bubbles regularly reach the surface of the Laptev Sea in the East #Siberian #ArcticOcean (#ESAO), each of them a small blow to our efforts to mitigate climate change. The source of the methane used to be a mystery, but a joint Swedish-Russian-U.S. investigation recently discovered that an ancient gas reservoir is responsible for the bubbly leaks.

    "Methane in the Laptev Sea is stored in reservoirs below the sea’s submarine permafrost or in the form of methane hydrates—solid ice-like structures that trap the gas inside. It is also produced by microbes in the thawing permafrost itself. Not all of these sources are created equal: Whereas microbial methane is released in a slow, gradual process, disintegrating hydrates and reservoirs can lead to sudden, eruptive releases.

    "Methane is escaping as the Laptev’s submarine permafrost is thawed by the relative warmth of overlying seawater.

    "With an even stronger greenhouse effect than #CarbonDioxide, methane releases into the atmosphere could substantially amplify global warming."

  13. #Siberia swelters in record-breaking temperatures amid its ‘worst heat wave in history’

    These remote regions tend to see large monthly and yearly temperature fluctuations, but the last few decades have seen a strong warming trend.

    By Laura Paddison, Jun 9, 2023

    "Despite only being early June, records are tumbling across parts of Siberia as extreme heat pushes into unusually high latitudes.

    "Last Saturday, temperatures reached 37.9 degrees Celsius (100.2 Fahrenheit) in Jalturovosk, its hottest day in history, according to the #climatologist Maximiliano Herrera, who tracks #ExtremeTemperatures across the globe.

    "A slew of temperature records have fallen in Siberia since then.

    "Several all-time heat records were broken on Wednesday, including in Baevo, which reached 39.6 degrees Celsius (103.3 Fahrenheit), and Barnaul, which hit 38.5 degrees Celsius (101.3 Fahrenheit)."
