Polar Geoengineering: A Risky Experiment That Will Not Fix Climate Change
Earth’s climate is warming because we burn fossil fuels for electricity, transport, heating, and food production, and this releases greenhouse gases. The polar regions (the Arctic and Antarctic) are w...

Antarctica
Frigid and stable under a polar high but katabatic winds remain fierce near coastal stations. Watch for whiteout conditions near base camps. #AntarcticaWeather #AntarcticNews #PolarClimate #WhiteoutAlert #ResearchBase #ClimateWatch #ExtremeCold

Antarctica Wx Briefing
High pressure keeps much of the coast clear but bitter cold deepens inland. Ice shelf monitoring continues as warming trends persist. 🧊❄️

Six objective criteria e Scientific Robustness — will it work? e.g. slowing ice sheets e Environmental damage. e.g. SAl and ocean acidification e Cost. £100s bn are needed for installation, continuation and maintenance — from where? e Governance — no governance exists for the case studies looked at. e Spatial and temporal scales — no ideas can be feasibly scaled within the time window of decarbonising. e Vested interests — to some the idea of dealing with climate change without decarbonising is a gift, and is wrong.

Really excellent talk by Jun Inoue of #NIPR with really excellent new data on #clouds.
Good to hear the data is #OpenData too
The clouds are really still a big problem in #ClimateModels as there are so many knock-on effects...

Discussions on #Ismip7 - the #IceSheet MIP for #CMIP7 at #IGSnorthumbria2024 this afternoon - it's an interesting process to go through (again). #SMB will be a part of it, but further discussions needed.
One things for sure, we as a #polarClimate #glaciology community are going to be busy...

Dust particles absorb and scatter sunlight thus having a cooling effect. A sort of Teleconnection between the dust decline in parts of asia and the #warming-arctic has been reported👇🏽. We need to understand & stress the fact that the #Arctic isn't isolated from the global #climate 🧪🎢 #PolarClimate
Dust Declines in Parts of Asia May Be Caused by the Warming Arctic - Eos
Rising Arctic temperatures have changed both wind patterns and precipitation in areas that carry dust to West and South Asia, but the change may not be permanent.
