is melting and we all need to adapt, a trio of climate analyses
show</b><br>
October 27, 2023<br>
Rebecca Hersher<br>
</font> A trio of new scientific analyses about the loss of ice in
Antarctica paint a picture of a continent in trouble. Sea ice is
disappearing, gigantic portions of the West Antarctic ice sheet are
crumbling and even relatively stable East Antarctica is showing
worrying changes.<br>
<br>
That's a problem for humanity.<br>
Let's begin with the sea ice. Each winter, the ocean water around
Antarctica freezes. Because Antarctica is in the Southern
Hemisphere, this happens during North American summer months – deep
winter in Antarctica is in July, August and September.<br>
At its most expansive, the sea ice covers an area the size of
Antarctica itself, doubling the size of the frozen continent.<br>
<br>
But the winter sea ice has been shrinking, in part because ocean
water is warmer due to climate change. And this year there was less
ice than ever before, going back to when satellites started tracking
annual ice extent around 1980.<br>
<br>
On September 10th, Antarctica's sea ice reached its largest extent
of the year, but it was far smaller than average sea ice in decades
past. In fact, it was nearly 350,000 square miles smaller than the
previous record smallest amount, measured in 1986, according to a
recent analysis by the National Snow and Ice Data Center, a research
center at the University of Colorado, Boulder that is also
affiliated with the federal government...<br>
- -<br>
<i>[ The amount of sea ice around Antarctica fluctuates
significantly year to year. But this year there is radically less
ice than there has been at any point since 1981.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/charctic-interactive-sea-ice-graph/">https://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/charctic-interactive-sea-ice-graph/</a>
]</i><br>
- -<br>
Disappearing sea ice is a problem for lots of reasons. While it
doesn't directly add any extra water to the ocean, missing sea ice
does contribute to global sea level rise in other ways. The sea ice
around Antarctica shields glaciers on land, and massive ice shelves
that extend out into the water, from storms and above-freezing ocean
water. Without that protection, that ice can melt more quickly, and
that leads to more sea level rise.<br>
<br>
And it's difficult for sea ice to recover after a bad year like this
one. The water that doesn't freeze — the exposed ocean water —
absorbs more heat than ice does, and that makes it more difficult
for ice to re-form the next year.<br>
<br>
"There is growing evidence that the Antarctic sea ice system has
entered a new regime, featuring a much stronger influence of warm
ocean waters limiting ice growth," scientists at the National Snow
and Ice Data Center write in their analysis of this year's
record-shattering low sea ice extent...<br>
Antarctica's glaciers are also melting rapidly, and humans have no
choice but to adapt<br>
New research also raises the alarm about how Antarctica's enormous
ice shelves and glaciers are responding to a warming world.<br>
<br>
The West Antarctic ice shelf is the part of Antarctica that is
melting most rapidly in response to climate change. It contains
enough water to raise global sea levels by about 10 feet.<br>
<br>
Scientists have warned for decades that, once the ice in West
Antarctica begins to disintegrate, it will gain momentum and be very
difficult, if not impossible, to reverse within a human lifetime. A
new study finds that the runaway melting process is already
underway.<br>
<br>
The rate of ice melt and ocean warming in a crucial part of West
Antarctica is three times what it was in the 20th century, according
to the study published in the journal Nature Climate Change this
week...<br>
And when the authors used a computer to simulate what would happen
if humans immediately slashed greenhouse gas emissions, they found
it would have basically no effect on the rate of melting in West
Antarctica for the rest of the century.<br>
<br>
"It appears that we may have lost control of the West Antarctic ice
shelf melting over the 21st century," says Kaitlin Naughten of the
British Antarctic Survey and one of the authors of the study. "Our
actions today likely will make a difference further down the line,
in the 22nd century and beyond, but that's a time scale that
probably none of us here will be around to see."<br>
<br>
Previous studies have come to similar conclusions, although this is
the first major study to simulate both ice and ocean changes in West
Antarctica. The authors note that, while it may be too late for
emissions reductions to save large areas of ice in West Antarctica,
they are not predicting that the entire West Antarctica ice shelf
will collapse in the next century. And it is not too late to protect
the even-more-massive East Antarctic ice sheet.<br>
"This is one glimmer of hope," says Naughten. "West Antarctica is
much smaller than East Antarctica. And East Antarctica we think is
pretty stable [and] is likely to stay so."<br>
<br>
However, a separate study published this week in the journal Science
Advances suggests that massive glaciers in East Antarctica could
also melt more quickly than previously thought, as warm ocean water
mixes with meltwater under the ice. While scientists expect East
Antarctica to remain relatively stable for 100 years or more, the
new discovery could also have implications for how quickly glaciers
disintegrate in West Antarctica.<br>
<br>
Taken together, the new research paints a picture of a continent
that is poised to drive multiple feet of sea level rise in the
coming decades, and could cause catastrophic sea level rise longer
term if humans don't shift away faster from fossil fuels.<br>
<br>
"In this context, courage looks like adaptation," says Naughten,
noting that cutting emissions is not enough on its own. "If we can
plan ahead to reduce human suffering and to save human lives, that's
better than closing our eyes until the ocean's at our doorstep."<br>
<br>
Some American cities are already beginning to prepare for multiple
feet of sea level rise this century, in part because official sea
level rise predictions from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration already factor in some Antarctic melting.
Disappearing ice in West Antarctica disproportionately drives sea
level rise on the East and Gulf Coasts of the United States, because
of ocean currents and other ocean and ice dynamics.<br>

<b>'The Comfort of Crows' is fuel to restore spirts in dealing with
ecological grief</b><br>
October 25, 2023<br>
By Barbara J. King<br>
After the death of her mother, Margaret Renkl tenderly placed in an
antique jar the "soft white hair" left behind in her mother's
hairbrush. Years passed. When it no longer carried the scent she
cherished, Renkl laid the hair across a holly branch in her yard.<br>
<br>
This act was meant as a direct invitation to the birds in her yard,
and it was accepted: A chickadee flew off with the hair for the nest
she was building.<br>
<br>
Renkl devotes only a half-page to this story, but it conveys the
beautiful tangle of human and other-animal lives at the heart of The
Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year. Starting in winter and continuing
through the seasonal round, Renkl brings alive in 52 chapters her
love for the animals and plants in her half-acre yard in Tennessee
and in nearby parks. Equally moving, she confesses her despair at
the human-caused crises the natural world faces, and her
determination not to sit idle. "The very least I owe my wild
neighbors is a willingness to witness their struggle, to compensate
for their losses in every way I can, and to speak on their behalf
about all the ways I can't," she writes.<br>
Renkl makes good on that pledge. She medicates a neighborhood fox
against mange, with the help of a trap, a bit of bacon, and advice
from a veterinarian; ensures that leaves from the trees in her yard
are left unraked so that insects overwinter and ground-foraging
birds can dine there; fills a garden with milkweed in support of
monarch butterflies; and creates a haven for tree frogs in the form
of a 40-gallon tank filled with water and frog-friendly plants.<br>
<br>
She even keeps a worm composter at the end of her writing table,
filled with coffee grounds, banana peels, vegetable parings, and
"several thousand red wigglers." I can picture Renkl at work writing
her weekly New York Times column right there next to these
industrious invertebrates, whose own labor fertilizes her outdoor
pollinator garden.<br>
<p>With these steps, Renkl refuses to give up in the face of
human-caused global warming that is altering our environment and
harming other species. Just as many of us do, Renkl sees this harm
primarily through absences. For two decades, Renkl hasn't seen a
turtle or toad in her yard, and only one grasshopper has appeared
in each of the last two years. Fewer birds come as well.</p>
Renkl laments that our species has been "burning this world down"
since the time of "the very first hominid to rise up on bare feet."
From the perspective of anthropology, I think this statement misses
the point. Around 4 million years ago, the period in which our
ancestors began habitually to walk bipedally, no one was burning
anything down either literally or metaphorically.<br>
<br>
Our ancestors at that time, living in small groups, gathered foods
from the land and much later began to hunt. Only very late in the
ongoing course of human evolution did Homo sapiens veer into
industrial levels of harm that wreck the climate in completely
unprecedented ways.<br>
<br>
Compared to the tone of her earlier collections of essays, Late
Migrations and Graceland, there's an extra wistfulness in Renkl's
writing now. That's not solely owing to what's happening to the
natural world. Renkl's parents have died and her three sons have all
left home, "packed off to their own lives"; Renkl is "a little bit
lost and a little bit ragged."<br>
<br>
She's in her 60s now, "an old woman" who has entered the "last
third" of her life "if what we mean by last third is whatever
happens after everything you were working toward has already
happened." Endings, though, are also beginnings: "This is what I
tell myself again and again."<br>
<br>
An older woman's freely sharing a yearning for her adult children is
as welcome as it is poignant. So too is Renkl's resistance to our
society's preference for a positive attitude no matter what. Yet I
do want to ask Renkl, why label an age in the 60s (an age I share
with her) as old? Healthy living at 60-something is a privilege many
people around the world do not get to have. Might it be better
framed as a fresh opportunity to help the ailing world in exactly
the ways Renkl pledges?<br>
In these days of climate crisis, the phenomenon of ecological grief
is real. In order to seize opportunities to help, many of us do
require fuel to restore our spirits. Find that fuel in Renkl's
chapters like "The Bobcat Next Door," "Praise Song for the First Red
Leaf of the Black Gum Tree," and "Loving the Unloved Animals."<br>
<br>
Find it as well in illustrator Billy Renkl's lovely drawings
including those of a winter garden, a pileated woodpecker gazing at
a housing development and, of course, crows.<br>
<br>
The animals and plants so cherished by Renkl need us now more than
ever.<br>

<p><font face="Calibri"><b>The Warming Is Global but the
Legislating, in the U.S., Is All Local</b><br>
By Jennifer 8. Lee<br>
Oct. 29, 2003<br>
Motivated by environmental and economic concerns, states have
become the driving force in efforts to combat global warming
even as mandatory programs on the federal level have largely
stalled.<br>
<br>
At least half of the states are addressing global warming,
whether through legislation, lawsuits against the Bush
administration or programs initiated by governors.<br>
<br>
In the last three years, state legislatures have passed at
least 29 bills, usually with bipartisan support. The most
contentious is California's 2002 law to set strict limits for
new cars on emissions of carbon dioxide, the gas that
scientists say has the greatest role in global warming.<br>
<br>
While few of the state laws will have as much impact as
California's, they are not merely symbolic. In addition to
caps on emissions of gases like carbon dioxide that can cause
the atmosphere to heat up like a greenhouse, they include
registries to track such emissions, efforts to diversify fuel
sources and the use of crops to capture carbon dioxide by
taking it out of the atmosphere and into the ground.<br>
<br>
Aside from their practical effects, supporters say, these
efforts will put pressure on Congress and the administration
to enact federal legislation, if only to bring order to a
patchwork of state laws.<br>
<br>
States are moving ahead in large part to fill the vacuum that
has been left by the federal government, said David Danner,
the energy adviser for Gov. Gary Locke of Washington.<br>
<br>
''We hope to see the problem addressed at the federal level,''
Mr. Danner said, ''but we're not waiting around.''<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">There are some initiatives in Congress,
but for the moment even their backers acknowledge that they
are doomed, given strong opposition from industry, the Bush
administration -- which favors voluntary controls -- and most
Congressional Republicans.<br>
<br>
This week, the Senate is scheduled to vote on a proposal to
create a national regulatory structure for carbon dioxide.
This would be the first vote for either house on a measure to
restrict the gas.<br>
<br>
The proposal's primary sponsors, Senator John McCain,
Republican of Arizona, and Senator Joseph I. Lieberman,
Democrat of Connecticut, see it mainly as a way to force
senators to take a position on the issue, given the measure's
slim prospects.<br>
<br>
States are acting partly because of predictions that global
warming could damage local economies by harming agriculture,
eroding shorelines and hurting tourism.<br>
<br>
''We're already seeing things which may be linked to global
warming here in the state,'' Mr. Danner said. ''We have low
snowpack, increased forest fire danger.''<br>
<br>
Environmental groups and officials in state governments say
that energy initiatives are easier to move forward on the
local level because they span constituencies -- industrial and
service sectors, Democrat and Republican, urban and rural.<br>
<br>
While the coal, oil and automobile industries have big lobbies
in Washington, the industry presence is diluted on the state
level. Environmental groups say this was crucial to winning a
legislative battle over automobile emissions in California,
where the automobile industry did not have a long history of
large campaign donations and instead had to rely on a
six-month advertising campaign to make its case.<br>
<br>
Local businesses are also interested in policy decisions
because of concerns about long-term energy costs, said
Christopher James, director of air planning and standards for
the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. As a
result, environmental groups are shifting their efforts to
focus outside Washington.<br>
<br>
Five years ago the assumption was that the climate treaty
known as the Kyoto Protocol was the only effort in town, said
Rhys Roth, the executive director of Climate Solutions, which
works on global warming issues in the Pacific Northwest
states. But since President Bush rejected the Kyoto pact in
2001, local groups have been emerging on the regional, state
and municipal levels.<br>
<br>
The Climate Action Network, a worldwide conglomeration of
nongovernment organizations working on global warming, doubled
its membership of state and local groups in the last two
years.<br>
<br>
The burst of activity is not limited to the states with a
traditional environmental bent.<br>
<br>
At least 15 states, including Texas and Nevada, are forcing
their state electric utilities to diversify beyond coal and
oil to energy sources like wind and solar power.<br>
<br>
Even rural states are linking their agricultural practices to
global warming. Nebraska, Oklahoma and Wyoming have all passed
initiatives in anticipation of future greenhouse-gas emission
trading, hoping they can capitalize on their forests and crops
to capture carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.<br>
<br>
Cities are also adopting new energy policies. San Franciscans
approved a $100 million bond initiative in 2001 to pay for
solar panels for municipal buildings, including the San
Francisco convention center.<br>
<br>
The rising level of state activity is causing concern among
those who oppose carbon dioxide regulation.<br>
<br>
''I believe the states are being used to force a federal
mandate,'' said Sandy Liddy Bourne, who does research on
global warming for the American Legislative Exchange Council,
a group contending that carbon dioxide should not be regulated
because it is not a pollutant. ''Rarely do you see so many
bills in one subject area introduced across the country.''<br>
<br>
The council started tracking state legislation, which they
call son-of-Kyoto bills, weekly after they noticed a
significant rise in greenhouse-gas-related legislation two
years ago. This year, the council says, 24 states have
introduced 90 bills that would build frameworks for regulating
carbon dioxide. Sixty-six such bills were introduced in all of
2001 and 2002.<br>
<br>
Some of the activity has graduated to a regional level. Last
summer, Gov. George E. Pataki of New York invited 10
Northeastern states to set up a regional trading network where
power plants could buy and sell carbon dioxide credits in an
effort to lower overall emissions. In 2001, six New England
states entered into an agreement with Canadian provinces to
cap overall emissions by 2010. Last month, California,
Washington and Oregon announced that they would start looking
at shared strategies to address global warming.<br>
<br>
To be sure, some states have decided not to embrace policies
to combat global warming. Six -- Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky,
Oklahoma, West Virginia and Wyoming -- have explicitly passed
laws against any mandatory reductions in greenhouse gas
emissions.<br>
<br>
''My concern,'' said Ms. Bourne, ''is that members of industry
and environment groups will go to the federal government to
say: 'There is a patchwork quilt of greenhouse-gas regulations
across the country. We cannot deal with the 50 monkeys. We
must have one 800-pound gorilla. Please give us a federal
mandate.' '' Indeed, some environmentalists say this is
precisely their strategy.<br>
<br>
States developed their own air toxics pollution programs in
the 1980's, which resulted in different regulations and
standards across the country. Industry groups, including the
American Chemistry Council, eventually lobbied Congress for
federal standards, which were incorporated into the 1990 Clean
Air Act amendments.<br>
<br>
A number of states are trying to compel the federal government
to move sooner rather than later. On Thursday, 12 states,
including New York, with its Republican governor, and three
cities sued the Environmental Protection Agency for its recent
decision not to regulate greenhouse-gas pollutants under the
Clean Air Act, a reversal of the agency's previous stance
under the Clinton administration.<br>
<br>
''Global warming cannot be solely addressed at the state
level,'' said Tom Reilly, the Massachusetts attorney general.
''It's a problem that requires a federal approach.''</font></p>
