Except, as both Greenland in the north, glaciers now at record thickness and Antarctica in the south, ten years and counting of colder temps show, the change is cooling, not warming. Sorry, Mr. Gore.
That looks more like one of the hundreds of fires burning in the world like at the North Polar Circle. Travel time over permafrost has been shortening as it is melting sooner, faster, more deeply and also releasing large volumes of methane which is 26X per molecule as powerful as one molecule of CO2.
June and July of 2019 the hottest June and July ever recorded since records started being kept in the 1880’s.
Note that several times at both poles the temperature went above freezing for a period of time. So those cooler temps won’t last long. It may take longer for the British to get warming temperatures when the thermal current stalls.
“In essence, there’s no backsies when it comes to climate change. Once you’ve begun the full-scale destabilization and melting of the Greenland ice sheet and of the vast ice sheets in the Antarctic, for instance, the future inundation of coastal areas, including many of humanity’s major cities, is a foregone conclusion somewhere down the line. In fact, a recent study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change by 22 climate scientists, suggests that when it comes to the melting of ice sheets and the rise of seas and oceans, we’re not just talking about how life will be changed on Planet Earth in 2100 or even 2200. We’re potentially talking about what it will be like in 12,200, an expanse of time twice as long as human history to date. So many thousands of years are hard even to fathom, but as the study points out, “A considerable fraction of the carbon emitted to date and in the next 100 years will remain in the atmosphere for tens to hundreds of thousands of years.” The essence of the report, as Chris Mooney wrote in the Washington Post, is this: “In 10,000 years, if we totally let it rip, the planet could ultimately be an astonishing 7 degrees Celsius (12.6° F) warmer on average and feature seas 52 meters (170 feet) higher than they are now.”
