Unsustainable! Humans could become extinct by 2026! Arctic Ocean 54F higher than it was between the years 1979 and 2000.

At the end of 2016 temperatures at The North Pole were 8 times higher than average temperature increases across the globe

Humans could become extinct by 2026!

This week The North Pole will be once again warmer than many parts of the Mediterranean even though it has had no sunshine foor three months

February, 2017
The
North Pole will later this week enjoy temperatures of 21C (70F) above
its historic average.
It
should be witnessing temperatures of around -25C to -50C (-13F -58F)
however at a temperature of around -4C (+24.8) later in the week The
North Pole will be once again warmer than many parts of the
Mediterranean
The
Arctic Ocean is heating up faster than the rest of the Earth,
scientists say. Temperatures over parts of it will increase by as
much as 54 degrees Fahrenheit this month, in comparison to previous
decades. Now, scientists who write for the Arctic News Blog warn
humans could become extinct by 2026 if climate initiatives are
ignored across the globe
So
what is causing these staggering temperatures in the Arctic region?
For
example when there is a lot of snow and ice what happens is sun light
reflects back into the atmosphere and as the ice and snow begin to
melt we see the sea increasing in temperature because it’s
absorbing more sun light and what this does is cause the temperatures
to get closer to the Arctic and the Equator.
As
a result winds and storm patterns change as can the direction of sea
currents which only works to pull warmer air into the Arctic, which
further heats up temperatures.
The
most dangerous part of all of this is that it actually causes Methane
to escape from the Arctic sea floor into the atmosphere and that is
because carbon is usually absorbed and stored in frozen soil.
But
as that soil melts methane is able to escape.
And
because Carbon Dioxide emissions don’t reach their greatest impact
for 10 years after they are released we really have to see this
effect.
And
all of this feedback could raise the global temperature 18F above pre
industrial levels all by the year 2026 and without climate action
scientists are now warning that within just one decade the combined
impact of the extreme weather falls in soil and air quality habitat
loss shortage of food and water, shelter and just about all the basic
things needed to sustain life and threaten most, if not all life on
Earth.
At
the end of 2016 temperatures at The North Pole were 8 times higher
than average temperatures increases across the globe and this month
in February the forecast shows that parts of the Arctic Ocean will be
54F higher than it was between the years 1979 and 2000.
And
this is shocking for an area of the World which doesn’t get any
form of sunlight this time of the year.
