Researchers from Tongji University in Shanghai found the frozen continent suddenly reversed its decades-long trend of catastrophic melting and actually gained record amounts of ice in recent years.
I think it is real hubris of man to think we understand how the planet works, however we should stop trying to pollute it anyways.
This doesn’t mean what you think it means OP… this is not proof of climate change not happening, it is the exact opposite. The mass gain is from increased snowfall, which is because of increased temperatures. Warmer air carries more moisture, leading to more snow… the majority of the loss being seen is from the sublimation and the bottom melting/sliding into the ocean. The increase in snow has been a distinct prediction for nearly 2 decades. This appears to be largely linked to the rare “3-year La Niña” event we saw during that same timespan…
I’d be super cautious getting optimistic about this, because this appears to be more confirmation that climate change is happening at an alarming rate… this is like getting a slam dunk after your opponent has completed 20 unanswered points, it looks like the beginning of things turning around, but we need to watch longer to see the overall impact
Climate change deniers aren’t known for the being the smartest bunch 🤣
ZOMG!…we’re making too much ice…global cooling!…ice age coming!
2 years. 2 years is nothing when it comes to the cycle of this planet. Show me 50 years of consistent, incremental ice growth, then maybe, but 2 years?
Our global environment is actually cyclical, these headlines are written by journalist… Who probably don’t realize just like the El Nino affect we also have the La Nina affect.
There is absolutely zero question our globe is warming up. Some people care if it’s a result of humans or natural… In either case if humans want to live on earth it actually doesn’t matter. Most of our Coral will die in 2030, the surrounding life that relied on it will as well. By 2050 our current trajectory will make the area we can grow crops significantly reduced.
It doesn’t matter what is causing the temperature change, the only question is whether or not mankind wants to continue living on earth as we do now, or accept the future weather conditions, and not long after global famine, or we do actually have the ability to prevent this. Blah blah money basically.
I can’t stress this enough, we knew this would happen, the question is not IS IT happening, and not WHO’S CAUSING IT, merely how do we want to enjoy earth in 50 years?
Earth was always going to change we just have the tech to force that change in the direction we desire, and if you ask me right now, Earth is fucking sweet and I’d like to keep it that way.
