Blue Ocean Event 2024?

How likely is an Arctic Blue Ocean Event (BOE) to occur in 2024 or even a Double BOE? The image below is alarming.  The highest daily sea surface temperatures on record (going back to 1981) were reached in February 2024, even higher than the peaks in 2023. Even higher temperatures may be reached over soon,…

Potential temperature trends

[ click on images to enlarge ] The above image shows potential temperature trends. Four of the trends are global ones and one trend is based on Arctic (64°North-90°North) data: The red line is a polynomial trend based on 15 years of Arctic data (2009-2023). The green line is a linear trend based on 1880-2023…

Seafloor methane tipping point crossed in 2024?

The heat in December 2023 was felt most strongly in the Arctic, as illustrated by the NASA image below, showing anomalies above 1951-1980 as high as 9.9°C.  .  The image below further illustrates heat striking the northern latitudes in 2023, showing that the temperature anomaly in 2023 was 2.19°C above 1880-1920 in between 24°North and the…

Crossing 1.5C – On track toward an uninhabitable Earth

by Andrew Glikson “… but they can be sure that they won’t be recorded for their crimes in history — because there won’t be any history” (Noam Chomsky, 2023) The macabre criminality of world’s so-called leaders, coupled with the ignorant compliance of a majority of the victims of global heating and potential nuclear annihilation, belong…

2024 looks to be worse than 2023

The year 2024 looks to be worse than the year 2023. The above chart shows sea surface temperatures that were extremely high in 2023 followed by a steep rise in 2024, crossing 21°C in early January 2024. The chart below illustrates this further, showing the daily sea surface temperature anomaly using 1 Sep. 1981 to…
