<blockquote> <font size="-1">Sweden's new climate law sets
long-term goals for greenhouse gas reductions in the country.
Notably, it will be legally binding for future governments as
well.</font><br>
<font size="-1">The Swedish position may be at odds with the new
U.S. administration. President Trump has repeatedly expressed
skepticism in climate change science, even going as far as to
label it a hoax perpetrated by China. There is widespread
speculation he may try to pull the United States out of the
Paris Agreement or simply fail to participate in the key climate
deal.</font>

with bated breath': Massive iceberg set to break off Antarctic
ice shelf</a></b><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1"> It could take days to years. But the
iceberg is most likely to break free within the next few months
because of the overwhelming weight the 110 miles of already
separated ice is placing on the 12 miles that remains connected
to the shelf, said Adrian Luckman of Project MIDAS, a British
Antarctic research project that's keeping watch on the
ever-growing crack.</font><br>
<font size="-1">Ice shelves are permanent floating sheets of ice
that connect to a landmass, according to the National Snow and
Ice Data Center. Studying them is important because they "hold
back the glaciers that 'feed' them," Luckman said. "When they
disappear, ice can flow faster from the land to the ocean and
contribute more quickly to sea-level rise."</font><br>

<b>'Beyond the extreme': Scientists marvel at 'increasingly
non-natural' Arctic warmth</b></a><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">The Arctic is so warm and has been this
warm for so long that scientists are struggling to explain it
and are in disbelief. The climate of the Arctic is known to
oscillate wildly, but scientists say this warmth is so extreme
that humans surely have their hands in it and may well be
changing how it operates.</font><br>
<font size="-1">Temperatures are far warmer than ever observed in
modern records, and sea ice extent keeps setting record lows.</font><br>
<font size="-1">2016 was the warmest year on record in the Arctic,
and 2017 has picked up right where it left off. "Arctic extreme
(relative) warmth continues,</font><br>
<font size="-1">At the North Pole, the mercury has rocketed to
near the melting point twice since November, and another huge
flux of warmth is projected by models next week. Their
simulations predict some places in the high Arctic will rise
over 50 degrees above normal.</font><br>

changing how scientists monitor Arctic climate change</a></b><br>
<b><font size="-1">Geological Survey scientists say western Arctic
erosion rapidly accelerating</font></b><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">Cliffs along the western Canadian Arctic
coastline are eroding at an increasingly rapid pace, threatening
to impact animals, plants and people in the area.</font><br>
<font size="-1">But a team of scientists from the Geological
Survey of Canada has found a cheap and novel way to monitor the
phenomenon: combining off-the-shelf drones with 3D imagery that
tracks erosion year-to-year without breaking the bank.</font><br>
<font size="-1">"It's magnitudes cheaper, maybe even ten times
cheaper," coastal geologist for the Geological Survey of Canada,
Dustin Whalen, told Nunatsiaq News, Dec. 16, comparing his
do-it-yourself tech to more expensive LIDAR imagery—or light
detection and ranging, a remote sensing method shot from an
airplane.</font><br>
<font size="-1">Using a $1,500 drone you can purchase online from
electronic stores, the scientists confirmed that erosion is
accelerating at a rapid rate, even compared to data recorded 20
years ago.</font><br>
<font size="-1">That rate of coastal change has increased between
20 and 200 per cent since 2000, Whalen and his team note in a
report on their work.</font><br>
<font size="-1">That's especially true with cliffs larger than
five metres in height which are more susceptible to climate
change and warming temperatures that destabilize load-bearing
permafrost.</font><br>
<font size="-1">"Eighty-five per cent of the coastline is eroding
in the western Canadian Arctic. Of that, I think 65 per cent of
the Arctic is cliffs over five metres and our data has shown
that all cliffs over five metres are accelerating [in that
area]," Whalen said.</font><br>
<font size="-1">Many of the cliffs in the region being studied by
the Geological Survey of Canada hang between 15 and 18 metres
over the coastline.</font><br>
<font size="-1">"Some of these blocks coming off are the size of a
three-storey home and they're falling off every season."<br>
