Melting ice changes melting pot of humanity?
Why this blog? I hope curious world citizens, women or men,
find this compilation of some keywords and parts of sentences
on a very important item. And perhaps will translate my other
today/yesterday's weblog on this item. These days a couple
of publications show changes of Arctic ice in the near future.
And the impact on parts of our world.
1)
The December 12 2006 issue of Geophysical Research Letters
has results of research how the Arctic Sea will be ice-free in
September 2040. Winter ice now is 12 feet thick and in that
year will become 3 feet thick. Implications for the regio are
dramatic, says scientist Holland. Study lead author is scientist
Marika Holland, from U.S. National Center for Atmospheric
Research (NCAR). Rapid losses of sea ice surprise researchers
who ran simulations on supercomputers.
2)
Reuters - Updated: 5:14 p.m. ET Dec. 11, 2006 adds:
Around 2040 with unchanged build up of greenhouse gases
the Arctic ice cover will abruptly retreat as the ocean around
the Northpole warms up.
The study indicated that if greenhouse gases continue to
build up at the current rate, the Arctic's future ice cover will
go through periods of relative stability, followed by abrupt
retreat as the Arctic Ocean warms. Thickness of the rest
will fall from 3.7 metres to 1 metre.
3)
By Adam Tanner - Updated: 6:53 p.m. ET Dec. 11, 2006 adds
implications:
Huge impact on environment, sea life as fish, surface life as
wildlife, weather, crops, shipping, shipping routes, commerce,
strategy, coast guard, oil spill, defenses of countries that will
use the Arctic Sea. Scientist Mark Serreze from the National
Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado sees
an "ugly head" in the predicted outcome.

Article titled 'State of the Arctic' report sees warming at work;
federal agency releases work by 20 international
scientists. Updated: 10:09 a.m. ET Nov.17,2006 - Associated
Press gives ample information, and gives also the URL of the report:
hotitems.oar.noaa.gov/storyDetail_org.php?sid=3824.
You'll find other links to this subject on the same site, sometimes
leading to other links, in one of them I read: "geostrategic issues,"
mentions chairman Mead Treadwell, of the U.S. Arctic Research
Commission in Anchorage, Alaska.
. . . . . . . . . .
And from me:
I add to this information:
* Melting of ice from the Southpole and Northpole regions
icy mountains on the whole planet rises all oceans.
* In my Dutch weblog from today/yesterday I say there are
dangers for The Netherlands and other low countries, inhabitants
have to migrate to hills in Holland, Germany and Belgium.
* When the oceans become deeper, meaning higher, there
will be the possibility of a tsunami on the East-coast of North
America, by the collaps of the isles in the Canarian Archipel
that balances on a very small base and can be pushed up by the
higher ocean-water.
* Water is heavier than ice. Around the equator heaps of more
water influences gravity of that part of our pear-shaped world.
Some day in the future the same will happen as several millions
years ago, The Netherlands will have palm beaches in a tropic
surrounding, Mexico will harbour the South Pole, the Gobi-desert
in China becomes a new Arctic North Pole. So I think:
It Could Happen To Us, So Let's Not Play With Gravity.
* Far more information you find via searchmachines, but lots of
time you find articles that are short-sighted.
* More information, speculations and real possibilities are
written in my Dutch weblog of today/yesterday.
Of course that Dutch text needs translation, I'm afraid. I am in
no position to do this, my knowledge of a couple of English
words is not enough heheh. So I hope one of you readers will
translate and publicize on weblog or other system.
