From Arctic Sea Ice Science News After re-considering the data, with the NSIDC scientists initially not predicting the sea-ice extent decline as seen, they have admitted their previous post did not consider all trends. While optimistic that their fundamental prediction that this year will not surpass the lowest sea-ice extent in recorded human history …

Now, on their smoother, faster broad reach and surfing at 24 knots at night (nearly twice the speed of the wind), Malizia II is again making time as a racer. When Skipper Boris Herrmann writes of "surfing", below, that is the preferred mode of travel for Malizia II - and its fastest mode - the …
The chief inspiration of my modeling of Arctic Sea-Ice extent and the effect of specific Arctic melt regions on North America Winters is this Communique, a collaboration of Battelle-PNNL science and international collaborators. At the time I began this effort, I was just looking for the effects of the Sea-Ice minimum during the Winter. I …

This morning The Malizia II and Greta on-board are heading on a South West tack, traveling roughly half the distance they had travelled yesterday. The racing yacht Malizia II is on a starboard reach now, with the wind off her beam. Not so comfortable, but a great cockpit of wind and waves for learning the …

MALIZIA II with GRETA THUNBERG making sweet time beating the wind! In some ways this is better than broadside, and in a racing yacht with wings, Greta is probably learning a whole lot, even while on strike! Time in PDT - Seattle Malizia II Friday 16AUG19 8:19 PDT

It's findings may impact many aspects of human life in the near-term, and as such, is worth both the layman's and the scientist's appraisal. In a very small and not all-inclusive nutshell, its conclusions indicate that the past decade's …
Ignoring suggestions to fly, even in low altitude aircraft (my idea) that have less of an adverse effect on the carbon dioxide emissions, Greta Thunberg heads for America carbon-free and to The United Nation Conference of the Parties in NYC. She is also visiting Rio de Janero as part of this trans-Atlantic voyage. She is sailing across …
Why US authorities are concerned with "whatever you want to call it, Mr. President," Global Warming. A nice, clean, ice-free Arctic route for Russian vessels is now afforded to Canada and Alaska... Russia has already claimed the North Pole as part of Mother Russia and an extension of its continental shelf. One of the last …
Well, maybe it's sad. Sad is just an emotion. It is something she doesn't care about, passed being sad. The Polar Bear mother and cub on her T-shirt looked sort of like the Coca-Cola Polar Bears portrayed here in 2005. Ahhh, weren't they cute? And playing with Emperor penguins from, ummm, Antarctica? …
Wherein we can see the complete Ice Cap melt of a 1.5C Earth here in outline. The hypothesized complete decadal Arctic melt, will increase to an annual summer melt if the ambient global temperature of Earth reaches 2.0C above pre-industrial levels, according to the IPCC 2018 Report. Figure 1. Arctic sea ice extent in …
