The Possible Effects of Melting Arctic
Posted on September 4, 2019 September 4, 2019 by Anka Baranski
The Arctic is a polar region placed at the northernmost part of the Earth, thus encompassing the area around the North Pole. Covered most of the time with ice and snow, global warming and climate change, however, have resulted in accelerated melting rates that in turn, threatens not only the local environment but also the environments and regional ecosystems and human communities across the globe.
Possible Effects of Melting Arctic: The Major Impacts of Vanishing Ice in the North Pole
To understand what vanishing ice in the Arctic means, it is important to take note of the fact that the Earth is an interconnected system. The changes in the region have actually created observable and measurable effects in other parts of the globe. Experts have identified disastrous consequences or impacts if the Arctic continues to melt further due to global warming.
Increased Global Warming as the Earth Absorbs More Energy from the Sun
White surfaces reflect light and heat. Remember that the ice and snow cover the Arctic. Established estimates noted that the region actually reflects 80 percent of the energy coming from the Sun back into space, thereby helping the Earth to remain cool. Scientists call this phenomenon as the albedo effect.
However, melting Artic means a reduced mass of ice that in turn, also means reduced white surfaces and exposed land and ocean surfaces. The region would be unable to reflect the energy from the Sun into space because the darker land and ocean surfaces would absorb 90 percent of that energy, thus accelerating global warming further.
A study by K. Pistone, I. Eisenman, and V. Ramanathan noted that the effect of declining sea ice in accelerating global warming had been hypothesized more than 50 years ago. To test this assumption, they used satellite radiation budget measurements along with satellite microwave sea ice data. Results revealed that the diminishing albedo effect due to melting Arctic has been responsible for 25 percent of global warming.
Flooding in Coastal Areas Due to Rising Sea Level from Melting Land-Based Ice
Melting sea ice in the Arctic does not cause sea level to rise. It is essentially already part of the sea volume. However, there are layers of ice on lands. A factsheet published online by the National Snow and Ice Data Center mentioned that sea level would rise about 6 meters or 20 feet if the ice sheet on Greenland melts.
Sea levels are already rising. Although the contribution of Greenland remains negligible, the area is already melting. Researchers A. Aschwanden et al. explained that surface melting in Greenland, mostly in its southwest region, nearly doubled from 1990 to 2008.
What would happen if sea-level rise after most or all of the ice in the Arctic lands melted? For starters, small island-nations would become uninhabitable. Remember that there are also cities established in coastal areas. In the United States, cities in Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York will have to be abandoned. The situation would essentially have considerable social and economic impacts.
Extreme Weather Events Due to the Role of the Arctic in the Global Weather System
Remember that the Earth is an interconnected system. Climate scientists have reason to believe that the weather and climate in the Arctic have a substantial impact on the entire weather and climate system of the world, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere.
A 2019 study by researchers at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research showed that extreme weather is two to four times likely to occur in the eastern part of the U.S. whenever the Arctic is unusually warm.
The researchers explain that the correlation might be due to the effect of warming Arctic on the jet stream. As a backgrounder, jet streams are fast flowing, narrow, meandering air currents that control the weather events on Earth. The difference between the cold temperature of the Arctic and the warmer temperature in the middle latitudes drives the jet stream. However, the melting Arctic causes the region to warm, and thus, the temperature difference diminishes.
Release of Trapped Greenhouses Gasses from the Thawing Permafrost
A permafrost is any ground that remains frozen for at least two years straight. The Arctic has an expansive area of these permanently frozen lands. It is important to take note that these grounds contain trapped greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide and methane. Thus, one of the possible effects of melting Arctic is the release of these gasses as the permafrost thaws.
The study of A. H. MacDougall, C. A. Avis, and A. J. Weaver explained that permafrost soils contain an amount of carbon that is as twice as the present atmospheric pool. Another study by J. Wilkerson et al. showed that nitrous oxide emissions from thawing Alaskan permafrost are about twelve times higher than previously assumed. Note that this gas is about 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
Essentially, the release of these greenhouse gasses would accelerate further global warming and thus, would also accelerate further the melting of the North Pole and possible, the ice found in the Antarctic or the South Pole.
Takeaway from the Effects of Melting Arctic: Relationship Between the Vanishing North Pole Ice and Global Warming
There is essentially an interconnection between the Arctic and the rest of the world. As a closed-loop and interconnected system, the changes in one area and factor on Earth would naturally have far-reaching consequences. From the discussions above, studies revealed that the melting Arctic would have environmental, social, and of course, economic impacts.
Another notable effect of melting Arctic centers on its impact on global warming and climate change. Aside from disrupting the global weather system and increasing the tendencies of extreme weather events, the vanishing ice in the North Pole also accelerates the warming of the Earth due to diminished albedo effect and release of greenhouse gasses from thawing permafrost. Accelerated warming also means accelerated melting of the region.
Nevertheless, the important role in the conditions in the Arctic has not only stimulated discussions among world leaders, including policymakers, but has also inspired scientists to come up with novel solutions. Some of these solutions center on refreezing the region using principles and practices in engineering, geoscience, and climate science, among others.

More than 60% of the world's power stations could be affected by a lack of water due to climate change, according to a new report.
The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Austria warned that a lack of water in rivers and streams could affect both hydro-electric schemes.
Thermo-electric plants – such as coal- and gas-fired power stations, biomass boilers and nuclear plants – could also be threatened because they use water as a coolant.
The study used data from 24,515 hydro-power and 1,427 thermo-electric power plants worldwide.
IIASA Energy Program Director Keywan Riahi said: "This is the first study of its kind to examine the linkages between climate change, water resources, and electricity production on a global scale.

It's useless to present the DELMORE Brohers (Rabon & Alton). They began their career in 1931 ! When they stopped at King studio in Cincinnati in 1946, they cut many, many Hillblly boogies, either as vocal duet, or with spare instrumentation (Wayne Raney and Lonnie Glosson on harmonica). It's been a real task to choose « Down home boogie » (King 784AA) : the Brothers sing in harmony for this romper cut in November 1947 in Cincinnati. Lead electric guitar player could be Roy Lanham or Zeke Turner.
A dozen years later or so, a man led a typical Hillbilly combo : JERRY DOVE (instrument unknown). He had already put a minor rockabilly classic in 1956, « Pink bow tie » on T.N.T. Label (# 144), but he was more a producer and musician than a singer. Here he gathers the duet (male/female) of Ray Stone and Dove's wife, Peggy. First side is bluesy, and very atmospheric : « Losin' the blues » (# 173), paired with an uptempo « Why don't you love me » from 1959.
Let's get back to December 1947 with the Arkansas born real ARMSTRONG TWINS. They recorded for 4* a serie of boogies showing the prowesses of Lloyd on mandolin, Floyd backing on guitar, especially on « Mandolin boogie » (4* 1231), a fast and furious piece of Bluegrass.
On the Cincinnati, OH based label Jalyn (# 208) JOHN & FRANCIS REEDY have « Quit kicking my dog around » : fine uptempo tune, amusing lyrics. This record goes back to '64.
More of the same with RUFUS SHOFFNER & JOYCE SONGER, clearly billed « Vocal duet » although both join on chorus only, with the powerful « It always happens to me » on the Detroit's Hi-Q label (# 17) from 1962. Awesome and driving guitar playing by Earl Songer's ex-wife. Both seem unlucky in the song.
Next is « Truck driver's boogie » by the MILO TWINS (Edwin and Edward), originally from Arkansas. Their style is pretty close to that of the DELMORE, the CALLAHAN, the SHELTON or the YORK Brothers. Released December 947 on Capitol 40138: fine harmony vocals over a good harmonica playing.
Finally GENE PARSON'S BAND, who's backing Kimble and Wanda Janes on vocals in a classic, « Night club Rock'n'roll » from March 1959 on Southfield label (# 4501) from lllinois. Parson was the owner of this small label. He already had cut for Chicago's Eko label. I'm pretty sure this Gene Parson has nothing to do with the member of Byrds or Flying Burrito Brothers bands of the '60s. The Southland issue falls into a collector's hands for $ 400-500.
Sources: various compilations and reissues for the most part, the odd record from my collection.

Imagine, in your youth, doing something so terrible that you can never make it right. Even to try to explain your conduct sounds like a feeble attempt at rationalisation. All that is left to you is to hold your peace and serve your time.
Marvin has been away for 17 years, serving his sentence, after being rightfully convicted, in his early 20s, of the brutal murder of an old woman. He returns without fanfare, skateboarding the final stretch into town along straight, empty featureless roads.
Stopping off at a roadside cafe, he shares a cigarette out back with a waitress. Good-looking, well-toned and decorated in artfully designed tattoos (which we assume pre-date his stay in prison), it's no great surprise when the dowdy, bored waitress offers sex. Marvin politely yet firmly declines. He's going home.
It's a less than happy homecoming. In his absence, his brother has killed himself and he soon learns that his mother, Bernadette (played with steely restraint by Kathy Bates), is terminally ill. The approach of death is not (at least at first) enough to thaw Bernadette's hostility towards her miscreant child. Others too, in this midwestern town, are unwilling to forgive and forget. The dead woman's blustering, violent grandson, Russell (played with impressively pompous vim by James Jordan), is determined to drive Marvin out of town.
Whilst the priest, Father Browning (Stephen Root) seems genuinely glad he's back, Marvin's only genuine supporters are his drug-addled best friend, Wade (Derek Richardson, slurring and gurning with considerable charm) and Bernadette's resolutely compassionate nurse, Jayden (Lil Rey Howery leaning one degree back from a halo in this role).
Though her loudmouth brother rages against the convict's return, single mother, Delta (Aisling Franciosi) – having been too young at the time of the killing to grasp the full horror of her grandmother's death – finds herself increasingly conflicted. When Marvin is subjected to a brutal and humiliating assault (which he barely resists) a bond begins to form between the two. The script does not quite earn this relationship, but there's enough chemistry between the two to sell it to a willing audience.
As Bernadette wheezes and stumbles towards the grave, will Marvin's contrition win redemption and love, or is there yet more of a penalty for him to pay?.
The performances are universally strong. Franciosi's Delta is resilient but floundering before Marvin appears, while McLaughlin's Marvin fits impressively into the damaged yet decent, strong and not-quite-silent model Clint Eastwood used to own.
Franka Potente (writer and director) shows a gift for creating multi-dimensional characters (as an example, Russell's violent posturing is neatly offset by a tender affection for his sister's toddler).
"Home" feels like Potente flexing her off-screen creative muscles (cinema goers will know her as an actor – most famously opposite Matt Damon in "The Bourne Identity"). The story proceeds with a measured but purposeful gait, well fitted to its environment. It has that 'things will take as long as they need to take' attitude, so characteristic of inland America. Once or twice – as in the climactic scene in church – this results in it being underwritten and under-directed, but even this is in welcome contrast to the hyper-dramatic emotional foghorning of many US films. Here we have a US setting and US cast, but a production team that is largely German. It's an interesting blend. I'd be glad to see more.

A winner (with Les Smith) of the Manchester Evening News award for Best New Play, Martin taught script-writing at the universities of Bolton and Salford, before becoming an adjudicator and mentor for the 24:7 theatre festival. Over the years, in addition to drama, Martin has seen more ballet and contemporary dance than is wise for a man with two left feet, and much more opera than any other holder of a Grade 3 certificate in singing.

SACRIFICE - a mini festival is on the programme of NEXT Arts Festival in November!
"Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man. Man is not a finished creation." Edmund Burke.
Iceland Dance Company present SACRIFICE, a collection of new commanding creations exploring the relationship between art and religion. Inspired by the idea of the ritual as an essential part of life. No Tomorrow, a new creation by performance- and visual artist Ragnar Kjartansson and choreographer Margrét Bjarnadóttir. A ballet for eight dancers and eight guitars to the music by The National's Bryce Dessner. Union of the North, created by renowned American visual artist Matthew Barney, choreographer Erna Ómarsdóttir and musician Valdimar Jóhannsson is a performative video installation, attempting to fuse together consumerism and the spiritual in an act of marriage. Dias Irae by visual artist Gabriela Friðriksdóttir is part video-installation, part choreographed ritual that focuses on the transition from life to death. Made in collaboration with Ómarsdóttir and Jóhannsson, the video also serves as an inspiration for their choreography, Shrine. Finally the festivities reach an immersive peak at the already bustling Market, where people present their beliefs, ideas and solutions for a sustainable future.
In co-operation with Reykjavík City Theatre and LÓKAL Performing Arts Reykjavík.

Mom Brings A Gun To Her 14-Year-Old Daughter's Fight and Pulls It On Her Rival!
February 27, 2015 streetaddictz Home, NEWS, Videos 0
MOM BRINGS A GUN TO HER 14-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER'S FIGHT AND PULLS IT ON HER RIVAL! So this Mom brought a gun to a fistfight. Texas-style justice went too far when a mom tried to sway a playground fight between her 14-year-old daughter and a rival by pointing a handgun at the head of the other girl, video from the incident shows. Hours after the Tuesday girl fight at a park next to Pasadena High School in suburban Houston — broken up by campus police — Viridiana Alvarez, 33, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after photos and video emerged of the gun-toting mom, Click2Houston ,The teen confrontation was reportedly a grudge match over a boy where one girl challenged the other to a fight after school. Both showed up — along with the pistol-packing Alvarez. Ted Myers, the father of the other girl involved, said he had no clue anything was amiss until he saw the footage of Alvarez pointing a gun at his daughter."I literally, my stomach dropped,"myers told KHOU" "I got nauseous and shaky."Alvarez claimed the gun wasn't loaded and she carried it in her purse as intimidation She told a judge she only planned to "scare her," according to Click2Houston. Both girls were suspended until Monday by the school and ordered to take part in a five-day guidance program, KHOU reported. Alvarez remains in Harris County Jail on $35,000 bond."I don't think a grown woman should be taking a gun where kids are," the victim's grandmother told Click2Houston.
