*Evidence Squared EP 12: RISKS AND REWARDS OF SCIENCE COMEDY 
<http://evidencesquared.com/ep12/>*

    Communication researcher Emily Vraga joins us as co-host again to
    discuss science comedy. She explains her research into how comedy
    can increase credibility, engagement and reduce perceived
    aggression. We also critique a variety of examples of climate comedy
    from TV and YouTube.
    Contains many video links to climate change humor videos.

*The Fate of the Southern Weddell Sea Continental Shelf in a Warming 
Climate <http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/JCLI-D-16-0420.1>*
Abstract

    Warm water of open ocean origin on the continental shelf of the
    Amundsen and Bellingshausen Seas causes the highest basal melt rates
    reported for Antarctic ice shelves with severe consequences for the
    ice shelf/ice sheet dynamics. Ice shelves fringing the broad
    continental shelf in the Weddell and Ross Seas melt at rates orders
    of magnitude smaller. However, simulations using coupled ice-ocean
    models forced with the atmospheric output of the HadCM3 SRES-A1B
    scenario run (CO2 concentration in the atmosphere reaches 700 ppmv
    by the year 2100 and stays at that level for an additional 100
    years) show that the circulation in the southern Weddell Sea changes
    during the twenty-first century. Derivatives of Circumpolar Deep
    Water are directed southward underneath the Filchner-Ronne Ice
    Shelf, warming the cavity and dramatically increasing basal melting.
    To find out whether the open ocean will always continue to power the
    melting, the authors extend their simulations, applying
    twentieth-century atmospheric forcing, both alone and together with
    prescribed basal mass flux at the end of (or during) the SRES-A1B
    scenario run. The results identify a tipping point in the southern
    Weddell Sea: once warm water flushes the ice shelf cavity a positive
    meltwater feedback enhances the shelf circulation and the onshore
    transport of open ocean heat. The process is irreversible with a
    recurrence to twentieth-century atmospheric forcing and can only be
    halted through prescribing a return to twentieth-century basal melt
    rates. This finding might have strong implications for the stability
    of the Antarctic ice sheet.

<http://enb.iisd.org/videos/climate/unfccc-sb46-side-events/re-discovering-the-magnificent-carbon-storage-potential-of-wetlands-and-peatlands/?autoplay>*

    On Thursday, 11 May 2017, the side event "Re-discovering the
    magnificent carbon storage potential of wetlands and peatlands" took
    place at the Bonn Climate Change Conference, presented by Center for
    International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and partners. This video by
    IISD Reporting Services provides an overview of the event. The event
    highlighted the carbon storage potential of tropical wetlands and
    peatlands, highlighting research published in two newly launched
    reports to assist climate policy making.
    Produced by Tasha Goldberg and filmed/edited by Chege Herman Njoroge.
    IISD's video of the event is available at:
