    Donald Trump is branded with all manner of unflattering labels, but
    one that hasn't seemed to much bother him is “*climate*pariah.” The
    president-elect is unabashed in his disdain for America's*global

    *Arctic scientists have warned that the increasingly rapid melting
    of the ice cap risks triggering 19 “tipping points” in the region
    that could have catastrophic consequences around the globe....The
    Arctic Resilience Report found that the effects of Arctic warming
    could be felt as far away as the Indian Ocean, in a stark warning
    that changes in the region could cause uncontrollable climate change
    at a global level.....Temperatures in the Arctic are currently about
    20C above what would be expected for the time of year, which
    scientists describe as “off the charts”. Sea ice is at the lowest
    extent ever recorded for the time of year.....“The warning signals
    are getting louder,” said Marcus Carson of the Stockholm Environment
    Institute and one of the lead authors of the report. “[These
    developments] also make the potential for triggering [tipping
    points] and feedback loops much larger.”

    (SEI) – The Arctic Resilience Report [pdf]
    <https://www.sei-international.org/publications?pid=3047>, published
    today, is the first comprehensive assessment of ecosystems and
    societies in the region. It identifies 19 “tipping points” in
    natural systems that could radically reshape the Arctic in the
    coming century, and calls for urgent cooperation to build local
    communities’ resilience and capacity to adapt to rapid and
    widespread change....The Arctic Resilience Assessment (ARA) is an
    Arctic Council project led by the Stockholm Environment Institute
    and the Stockholm Resilience Centre. It builds on collaboration with
    Arctic countries and Indigenous Peoples in the region, as well as
    several Arctic scientific organizations. The ARA (previously Arctic
    Resilience Report) was approved as an Arctic Council project at the
    Senior Arctic Officials meeting in November 2011. The ARA was
    initiated by the Swedish Ministry of the Environment as a priority
    for the Swedish Chairmanship of the Arctic Council (May 2011 to May
    2013) and is being delivered under the US Chairmanship of the Arctic
    Council...https://oaarchive.arctic-council.org/handle/11374/1838

    increase seen between 1998 and 2013 concludes it represented a
    redistribution of heat/energy within the oceans.
