Here in Spain we’re having a cool summer. The Atlantic has been blocked by high pressure, giving us north winds. But in the Arctic temperature are up to 10 degrees C above normal, and ice melting may set a new all time record, causing unexpected and possible ‘runaway’ climate events worldwide.. Far from being a wakeup call, climate talks are ‘dead in the water’, and the arctic ice melt has sparked an obscene capitalist power struggle to exploit natural resources in this fragile wilderness.

‘Arctic sea ice extent declined rapidly through the first two weeks of July, at a rate averaging nearly 120,000 square kilometers (46,000 square miles) per day. Ice extent is now tracking below the year 2007, which saw the record minimum September extent.” So far this summer, Arctic sea ice has been melting at a record pace. Satellite data, which go back to 1979, show that ice extent is currently lower than it was at the same time in 2007, the year that went on to shatter all previous records for low ice extent in September, the end of the melt season. Global Warming is both a cause and an effect of the ice melt- Runaway Climate Change is caused by ‘Feedback’ or ‘Loop’ effects.. Less ice means
heat is absorbed instead of reflected melting more ice which… Melting permafrost releases methane which raises temperature which melts more permafrost which…… Unheard of tundra fires release methane and blacken earth raising temperature , melting permafrost and causing more fires…. ETCETCETC We live in a fragile skin of breathable gas in an immense vacuum. The imminent danger is of uncontrollable climate change which could make the whole planet uninhabitable, like all others in our Solar System. The only solution is to immediately begin transition to an economy without CO2 releases.. This is perfectly possible.
