*In Iceland, global warming no longer a joke: president

Icelanders have long joked that global warming was something people on
the chilly Nordic island could look forward to, but as ice caps and
glaciers melt at record speeds, that gag is wearing thin, according to
the country’s president.
"Fish farming is a part of the blue economy now and... will expand,"
said Johannesson. However, it has to be "as safe as possible because
nature comes first", he added.

*Storm Generated Ocean Waves Pack More Punch Than Expected: 2 of 4

We know that massive storm waves wreak havoc on coastal cities and
coastlines, but scientists thought that massive 620 ton boulders could
only be moved by huge tsunamis from earthquakes. Not so. Atlantic storms
in winter 2013-2014 moved this gigantic rock, and many other huge rocks
weighing well over 100 tons. Wave theory needs to be redone, since the
energy in storm waves is much greater than expected. This is horrible
news for coastal cities around the globe.

*Storm Wave Energy is Way Worse Than We Thought: 3 of 4

How does a scientist find out how much energy is in a storm that hits a
coastline? This info is needed to figure out if coastal cities can
survive the onslaught of waves atop sea level rise atop storm surge atop
king-tides atop land subsidence. In Ireland and Sicily, GPS located
photos, and on-the-ground rock measurements were used. In France a
camera hung from a kite got detailed rock locations; subtracting images
showed changes over time. Bottom Line: Waves pack a much greater punch
than we thought. Coastline erosion is much worse than expected.

[Arctic Amplification]
*Scientist Reveals 7% More Water Vapor Fuels Storms Today
<http://climatestate.com/2018/03/10/scientist-reveals-7-more-water-vapor-fuels-storms-today/>*
Jennifer Francis, Ph.D., Research Professor I, Department of Marine and
Coastal Sciences, Rutgers University, speaks about extreme weather
changes. And how are those related to climate change?
YouTube video
In this presentation, Dr. Francis will explain new research that links
increasing extreme weather events with the rapidly warming and melting
Arctic during recent decades. Evidence suggests that Arctic warming is
causing weather patterns to become more persistent, which can lead to
extremes such as droughts, cold spells, heat waves, and some flooding
events.
