Ground Temps Reached 118°F In The Arctic Circle Yesterday
Ground temperatures in Siberia have reached 118°F, Gizmodo reported while sharing the newly published satellite images. It should be noted that the temperature recorded is a land surface temperature, not air. Although cities here in the U.S. — such as Phoenix, Death Valley, and even Salt Lake City — were … [continued]
2020 Climate Events Were Examples Of How Excess Heat Is Expressed On Earth
By most accounts, 2020 has been a rough year for the planet. It was the warmest year on record, just barely exceeding the record set in 2016 by less than a tenth of a degree according to NASA’s analysis. Massive wildfires scorched Australia, Siberia, and the United States’ west coast …
Siberia Is Experiencing Record Highs — 40 Degrees Above Average
Siberia is experiencing record high temperatures that are nearly 40 degrees Fahrenheit above average. To put things in perspective, The Washington Post writes that some areas are hotter than Washington right now. Snow cover is disappearing, sea ice is melting, and in 2020 fashion, we now have “zombie blazes”
Permafrost Thawing In Siberia Bringing With It Anthrax Outbreaks & Huge Methane Explosions
The ongoing melting of permafrost in Siberia has brought with it some very strange events — including the creation of massive methane blowout craters. In addition to the — sometimes catastrophically violent — release of methane from the previously frozen tundra, the melting has also been accompanied by the return of microbial illnesses that haven’t been present in the region for quite some time.
Siberia Is On Fire
In keeping with the theme established by the events of recent years, Siberia has once again caught fire. As it stands, this summer’s wildfires in Siberia have already burned through around 133,000 acres — mostly in southern Siberia, near Lake Baikal.
