<b>Tensions rise as nations race for valuable resources in the
Arctic</b><br>
PBS NewsHour<br>
Apr 23, 2023<br>
New research shows that climate change is causing the Earth’s ice
sheets to shrink much faster than previously thought — the annual
rate of sea ice loss has more than tripled since the 1990s. In the
Arctic, melting ice is raising geopolitical tensions, kickstarting a
global race for potentially priceless minerals, oil deposits and
shipping routes. Lisa Desjardins reports.<br>

<font face="Calibri"><b>What The Last of Us, Snowpiercer and
'climate fiction' get wrong</b><br>
</font>Novels and films that tackle global warming can inadvertently
lead to paralysis, writes Tyler Harper.<br>
--<br>
In the opening scene of The Last of Us, HBO's immensely popular
zombie prestige drama, a pair of epidemiologists sit cross-legged on
the set of a talk show in 1968. As the playfully mild-mannered host
queries his guests about viral threats to the human species, one of
the scientists – a man named Newman – responds that fungi, not
viruses or bacteria, pose the greatest risk to mankind. The crowd
jeers, but Newman presses on undaunted, suggesting that – were
Earth's global temperatures to one day rise – an incurable fungal
plague could become a very real possibility. Minutes later, we flash
forward to a future in which a pandemic has led to the collapse of
human civilisation by 2023, the epidemiologist's fungal prophecy
fulfilled.<br>
This opening is jarring, not least because it alerts viewers to the
catastrophic dangers of planetary warming, only to implicitly
critique them for not heeding that same message. Like the
disregarded epidemiologist whose concern falls on deaf ears, HBO's
drama is clear from the start that its zombie metaphor is meant as a
thinly veiled warning about our own, all-too-real climate crisis.
The implication of the talk-show scene and its apocalyptic aftermath
are straightforward: the future will be a hellscape if you don't
listen to the scientists.<br>
- -<br>
Part of the problem is that the genre – which is almost exclusively
dystopian, operating in the model of "cautionary tale" – traffics in
the kind of apocalyptic rhetoric that has long been shown to
demotivate consumers of environmental media. Novels like Paolo
Bacigalupi's The Water Knife or films like Bong Joon-Ho's
Snowpiercer might be riveting climate thrillers, but their bleak
storytelling doesn't exactly inspire the kind of can-do attitude
that might help motivate their audience to get involved in the
climate struggle. Indeed, since I began teaching climate fiction a
few years ago, I have been struck by how many of my students – a
number of whom are involved in the Youth Climate Movement – became
demoralised after engaging with such works; convinced, at least
momentarily, that climate activism is pointless.<br>

demonstrates the potential enormity of the problems society may
face over the coming centuries" UiT scientists on the new data
from the Barents Sea.</b><br>
New Barents Sea study points to how global sea level will continue
to rise.<br>
By Elizaveta Vereykina <br>
April 20, 2023<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">A recently published study from
geologists at UiT The Arctic University of Norway has provided new
insight into what was happening beneath the Barents Sea ice sheet
around 15,000 years ago. The data gathered will help to better
understand the processes occurring under present-day climate
change.<br>
<b><br>
</b><b>What was discovered?</b><br>
According to a global consensus of scientists it is virtually
certain that global sea level will continue to rise over the 21st
century. For the 900 million people (1 in 10 globally) living in
coastal zones around the world now, including in coastal
mega-cities, this danger is particularly acute. <br>
<br>
“Unravelling the glacial changes that occurred in the marine
setting of the Barents Sea during the warming at the end of the
last ice age is important as it gives us a unique long-term
perspective into how ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica today
could respond in the future.” UiT researcher Dr Henry Patton says
to The Barents Observer. <br>
<br>
For the first time, this research which has been conducted over
the last 5 years, has put some numbers on how fast this former ice
sheet in the Barents Sea retreated. <br>
<br>
“Like the present-day ice sheets, this Barents Sea ice sheet was
immense, reaching up to 3 km thick in places, but we are starting
to think that the whole system collapsed very quickly, raising
global sea level by many metres in just a few centuries,” says
Patton. <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Newly discovered seafloor deposits have
provided new information on how fast this vast ice sheet was
shrinking through the central Barents Sea 15,000 years ago. The
data the team found shows the ice sheet was retreating between 580
and 1600 m per year on average, for at least 91 years. At this
pace, most of the ice sheet is likely to have disappeared from
across the entire Barents Sea within 1000 years, raising global
sea level by around 6 m in the process.<br>
<br>
This geological data shows that the continuous, fast retreat of
ice sheets over many decades, and possibly centuries, is not
unprecedented under a rapidly changing climate. Chronological data
constraining this ice-sheet collapse has previously been a
long-standing knowledge gap...</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"><br>
“If our numbers are correct this collapse event would have
contributed to an extraordinarily fast pace of sea level rise, -
Dr Patton says - and it demonstrates the potential enormity of the
problems society may face over the coming centuries if the current
ice sheets continue to destabilise”. <br>
<br>
Yet, he added, pinning down these future quantities of melt over
the coming decades and centuries is not straightforward as the
feedbacks that operate between the oceans, climate and ice are
highly nonlinear.<br>
<br>
<b>How was it done? </b><br>
To uncover information about the glacial past published in this
study, the UiT team has been surveying and mapping the Barents Sea
area from research vessels since 2020. Sometimes scientists would
stay on the research ship for up to three weeks. The team in their
research also incorporated open data collected by the Norwegian
Hydrographic Service through the MAREANO programme...</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">By piecing together these high-resolution
snapshots surveyed from the Barents Sea floor - like in a jigsaw
puzzle - a clearer picture of the glacial history of this region
can emerge. The mapping included in this UiT study comes from a
very remote region in the central Barents Sea, near the Norwegian
- Russian border. Scientists believe this region hosted some of
the last remnants of the last ice sheet before it finally melted
away.<br>
<br>
Here you can use a map demonstrating an interactive reconstruction
of the Eurasian ice sheet during the last ice age<br>
Such observational data are vital for guiding numerical
simulations that try to reconstruct the behaviour of the old ice
sheets. Lead researcher of the study, Dr Calvin Shackleton from
the Norwegian Polar Institute in Tromsø, points out that satellite
data, which has been used to monitor the present-day ice sheets
over the last 40 years, are unable to observe the processes
happening underneath the ice sheet. This makes the geological data
left behind by these older ice sheets like in the Barents Sea such
a valuable archive to investigate.<br>
<br>
“The detection of traces of water at the interface between the ice
sheet and seafloor is of importance as the water acts as a
lubrication, allowing the ice above to flow faster and thus more
quickly transfer its mass to the more climate-sensitive regions at
lower elevations.”...</font><br>

<font face="Calibri"><b>Climate change: Norwegian seafloor holds
clue to Antarctic melting</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">By Jonathan Amos</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">BBC Science Correspondent</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">@BBCAmos</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Antarctica's melting ice sheet could retreat
much faster than previously thought, new research suggests.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">The evidence comes from markings on the
seafloor off Norway that record the pull-back of a melting
European ice sheet thousands of years ago.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Today, the fastest withdrawing glaciers in
Antarctica are seen to retreat by up to 30m a day.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">But if they sped up, the extra melt water would
have big implications for sea-level rises around the globe..</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">This is the zone where glacier ice flowing off
the land into the ocean becomes buoyant and starts to float. The
corrugations are created as the ice at this location repeatedly
pats the sediments as the daily tides rise and fall.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">For the pattern to have been produced and
preserved, the ice must have been in retreat (advancing ice would
destroy the ridges); and the tidal "clock" therefore gives a rate
for this reversal.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">The team's results show the former European ice
sheet underwent pulses of rapid retreat at speeds of 55m to 610m
per day.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Importantly, the fastest rates were observed in
places where the seafloor was relatively flat. These are locations
where the ice above would tend to be more uniform in thickness and
where less melting is required to make the ice float to aid its
retreat.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Similar corrugations have been detected on the
seafloor around Antarctica but the examples are quite limited in
extent. The Norwegian study area is vastly greater and so gives a
much clearer impression of how quickly ice can go backwards in a
warming climate.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Today, scientists use satellites to monitor the
grounding zones of Antarctica's ocean-terminating glaciers. The
spacecraft can trace where the ice is being lifted and lowered on
the tides.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/505E/production/_128647502_antartica_map-nc.png.webp">https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/505E/production/_128647502_antartica_map-nc.png.webp</a></font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">The fastest retreat has been observed at Pope
Glacier in the west of the continent, where an average rate of 33m
a day was measured over a period of 3.5 months in 2017.<br>
<br>
But Pope is not one of Antarctica's mightier glaciers. Scientists
are more interested in behemoths such as Thwaites. This body of
ice is the size of Britain and could raise global sea levels by
half a metre, were it all to melt.<br>
<br>
"Four kilometres inland of the current grounding line at Thwaites,
there is a conduit-like channel where the seabed is flat. It is
the perfect setting for this process of buoyancy-driven retreat,"
said co-author Dr Frazer Christie of the Scott Polar Research
Institute (SPRI), Cambridge University, UK.<br>
<br>
"We're talking about a small area compared with Thwaites' entire
drainage basin, but even a short-lived, very rapid retreat will
have implications for the future dynamics of the glacier."<br>
<br>
Drs Batchelor and Christie say their team's observations will
fine-tune the computer models that try to forecast Antarctica's
destiny in an ever-warming world. At the moment, these models are
missing important details of ice behaviour.<br>
<br>
"But this is why we look into the geological past to tell us
what's possible. Yes, we have satellites, but their records are
very short - only 40 years or so," commented co-author Prof Julian
Dowdeswell, also from SPRI.<br>
<br>
"Importantly, the geological record is something that has actually
happened. It's an 'observation' in the real world, not just in the
computer model world," he told BBC News.<br>
