12/6/23 – A23a: World’s biggest iceberg on the move after 30 years
“The world’s biggest iceberg is on the move after more than 30 years being stuck to the ocean floor.
The iceberg, called A23a, split from the Antarctic coastline in 1986. But it swiftly grounded in the Weddell Sea, becoming, essentially, an ice island.
At almost 4,000 sq km (1,500 sq miles) in area, it’s more than twice the size of Greater London.
The past year has seen it drifting at speed, and the berg is now about to spill beyond Antarctic waters.”

“Climate Reanalyzer is now utilizing daily temperature estimates from the ECMWF Reanalysis version 5 (ERA5), a latest-generation global reanalysis with a record period beginning January 1940. Therefore, we are no longer downloading daily grids from the NCEP Climate Forecast System. The table below is not updating and will be removed Monday 11 December.

“A double Blue Ocean Event could occur in 2024. Both Antarctic sea ice and Arctic sea ice could virtually disappear in 2024. A Blue Ocean Event (BOE) occurs when sea ice extent falls to 1 million km² or less, which could occur early 2024 for Antarctic sea ice and in Summer 2024 in the Northern Hemisphere for Arctic sea ice.”

12/24/23 – From Andrew Glikson: Too late to save the climate?
“Whether anything can be done by humans to arrest or reverse global warming and its consequences for the habitability of planet Earth remains an open question, for which neither climate science nor the ignorant hordes of politicians and economists, oblivious to the basic laws of physics, have the answer. However, it is likely that over the next centuries or longer the flow of cold water from the melting of the Greenland and Antarctica ice sheets will lead to a transient slowdown of the rate of warming before the large ice sheets are exhausted.”

Here’s a good review of what we’re experiencing now and what’s in store as we go deeper into abrupt irreversible climate collapse. Sam Carana knew. Here’s his post from 2007.
1. Flooding
2. Shortage of water
3. Famine and disease
4. Migration and refugees
5. Collapse of the financial system
6. Economic collapse
7. War and civil unrest
8. Pollution, in particular as a result of nuclear war, fallout and waste
9. Tipping points

12/31/23 – This just in from Spaceweather.com:
MAJOR X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE:
“Mere hours after emerging over the sun’s eastern limb on Dec. 31st, big sunspot AR3536 erupted, producing a major X5-class solar flare. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash.
This is the strongest flare of Solar Cycle 25 (so far) and the most powerful eruption the sun has produced since the great storms of Sept. 2017.
Radiation from the flare has caused a deep shortwave radio blackout over the Pacific Ocean: blackout map. Ham radio operators may notice loss of signal at all frequencies below 30 MHz for more than 60 minutes after the flare’s peak (2155 UT).
It’s too soon to know for sure, but this explosion probably launched a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space. Because the blast site is located near the extreme eastern edge of the sun, the CME is unlikely to have a significant Earth-directed component, but stay tuned. Solar flare alerts:SMS Text
Update: This explosion caused a solar tsunami. You can see the shock wave in this animation from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory.”
