Carl Sagan on Carbon Dioxide and effects on the planet

There is an even larger catastrophe in store and that is the collapse of the Antarctic ice sheet - which will raise the sea level by tens of meters, and that means inundating every coastal city on Earth! - Carl Sagan

CLIMATE CHANGE CAUSED A MASSIVE ANTARCTIC ICEBERG TO BREAK OFF AND MELT
An iceberg the size of Delaware melted in the Southern Ocean. What does that mean?

News reports of the largest iceberg in the world (more than 2000 square miles) have appeared on all major media outlets this week. The iceberg broke off in 2017 and continued melt, while drifting toward the island of South Georgia, and eventually Argentina. 

The massive iceberg added 167 million tons of freshwater into the Southern Ocean. Besides its contribution to sea-level rise, the size and location of the event are concerning. Antarctica has not warmed as fast as the Arctic circle, due to climate change. Scientists hoped that would remain the case, as policymakers attempt to meet reductions in greenhouse gas emissions necessary. Unfortunately, even the most ambitious climate policy targets will not prevent sea-level from rising to levels that will threaten or make life impossible in low-lying coastal zones. 

In addition, most climate models do not take into account the complex interaction of factors that strengthen each other, as the planet warms. A good example is how melting ice sheets also weaken ocean currents, such as the Gulf Stream, now at its weakest in more than a millennium.

"The world’s oceans reached record temperatures in 2021, despite a La Niña event that typically has a cooling influence. 

The new record was announced in a study published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences Tuesday. This is the sixth year in a row that the ocean heat record has been broken, The Guardian reported.

“The ocean heat content is relentlessly increasing, globally, and this is a primary indicator of human-induced climate change,” study co-author and National Center for Atmospheric Research climate scientist Kevin Trenberth told The Guardian. " - Olivia Rosane
