This Climate Pioneer Is Trying To Stop The Arctic From Melting | VICE on HBO

Permafrost refers to frozen soil and water that covers nearly a quarter of the Northern Hemisphere. With climate change warming the Arctic at an alarming rate, the permafrost is beginning to thaw. While this phenomenon can wreak havoc on infrastructure and transportation in places like Northern Alaska and Siberia, the real danger is the release of carbon and methane gas. There are more greenhouse gases trapped in these deep layers of permafrost than all human fossil fuel emissions released since the industrial age. Due to permafrost thaw, that trapped carbon is starting to escape into the atmosphere, creating a warming feedback loop that will make climate change even worse, and cause the permafrost to thaw even faster. If this continues unchecked, scientists warn we could be on the verge of awakening " the sleeping giant" of climate change.
But some innovative climate pioneers are changing that. With the use of both cutting edge genetics, and an experiment that relies on geo-engineering, there is hope that the permafrost thaw can be slowed. VICE Correspondent, Ben Anderson, travels across the Arctic to see the devastating impact of thawing permafrost, and the astonishing solution that might keep it frozen.

    It’s one of the most worrisome effects of global warming in the Arctic: The permafrost is beginning to thaw, and it’s releasing greenhouse gases that could actually accelerate climate change. Watch all of VICE on HBO Season Five here - bit.ly/2D3FpHB

    the melting of the arctic is completely related to the re-emerging of russia as a world power. the reason why the US even cares about it is because warmer temperatures will finally give russia seaports that don't freeze and a navy that doesn't need to be approved by NATO due to the Bosporus strait.

    TL: DR, we're fucked. The more I see on this, the more convinced that I am that we've probably waited too long. I really don't think people are sitting around envisioning the scenarios for how this plays out. There are going to be places on the planet that now support life that simply won't in the future. Is there a way to cool all the populated areas in the Middle East without warming the earth further? What do we do with the people displaced due to rising oceans, people from places like the Maldives? The scariest thing is that we haven't dealt with this yet. Our best shot so far has been the Paris Accords and they do practically nothing. It's almost certainly alarmist to say that all civilization could break down in 5-10 years, but it's terrifying that there's a qualifier there. It's terrifying that it's "almost." No one was talking about trapped methane 20 years ago. There could be something else we haven't thought of, and global climate impacts so many other things that human beings need that it's almost a certainty that there are things that we aren't seeing now.

    It seems the most destructive thing a climate scientist can say is "by 2100". Right now the Arctic sea ice is very thin and it pulled away from the north Greenland coast in February (right next to the Fram strait). The US navy scientists have said the Arctic Ocean could be ice-free by 2019. Without the sea-ice the ocean warms rapidly, this decreases the temperature difference between the equator and north pole. Stable jet stream weather patterns depend on a large temp difference. Destabilized jet streams create constant weather extremes that would destroy; grain production, forests, humanity, most life on Earth. For this guy to say it might be 8 - 10 degrees warmer in the Arctic in 2100 and that "could take us to a tropical type world". Good luck, humanity. Also the reindeer idea won't work. Like trying to stop poaching in Africa. When people get hungry they'll shoot these animals. Humanity needs to protect that 1.8 trillion tons of permafrost carbon like our lives depend on it, because they do.

Vertical farms don't need much resources and consume a little amount of energy compared to conventional farming. We only need to find a way to get weather proof green energy sources. Windmills and solar panels aren't very resistant against a constant global tornado season.

    John Moldavite . “Northwest “Passage”, that’s what they called it in the past when the Arctic ice melted. Why did these doomsday scenarios not happen those other times in history when the Arctic ice melted? Your theories are leaving out many factors, namely (1) the sun, which warms the earth unevenly, and (2) evaporation, which leads to more snow and building back up of the glaciers, (3) the Milankovitch cycles, of which the tilt, orbit, (etc.) sometimes compounds the uneven heating of the earth by the sun. Every single doomsday climate model to date has been wrong, so calm down chicken little.

    He's clearly not talking about chopping down all the trees... Just in tundra biomes where the permafrost is located. Secondly, there is a mountain of data related to the amount of methane trapped below the surface vs the amount of co2 which would've been converted by the trees you had cut down. Unless you've actually looked at all this data and taken into account everything just keep your opinions to yourself. This is all peer reviewed by much more qualified people than you yourself and is most likely tailored to bring the most beneficial results to us lesser informed people. If you do look through the data and find something note worthy I'd be more than happy to take that into account.

    Mammoths were around while the pyramids were being built. It is the humans killing them that made them extinct In Russia especially there are far less trees than you think and they are siberian trees that grawa all year round these trees were not there when the Mammoths were there and the climate was fine. What we need is to preserve the ice and prevent that massive amount of methane from destroying the atmosphere.

    So you got me googling "do cows produce more methane than other animals" because I've also heard that grazing animals are a large contributor to methane emissions, and it looks like it might be the way we feed the cows - rye or corn, a pretty shitty diet compared to the mixture of grasses you get on a natural pasture. Looks like bad diet might be a bigger contributor to the animals themselves, but it's worth looking into.

    The biggest threat we have facing our country, besides the radical left unconstitutional DEMS, is the covert & illegal Climate Engineering that is taking place. Remember "seeding" clouds to make it rain. Since then & utilizing technology developed by Tesla, many patents have been taken out by The Deep State's Industrial Military Complex to control the weather. These people, who answer to no body, have been preventing rains in the Western states to create draught conditions. Lately steered torrential rains over the states of NE & IA, creating flooding enough to destroy crops, tillable soil & livestock. They can re-directed the jet stream to bring the warm air over the Arctic, melting icebergs & permafrost releasing methane gas that IS destroying our ozone layer.

When the earths temperature gets below a certain points the grass gets covered in snow so the photosynthesis stops and the plants start releasing co2 and eventually the earth will warm up to a point where snow melts and photosynthesis start getting rid of the co2 in the air rinse and repeat.

    as salty water washes up against glaciers, it might mix with the already melting ice, lowering the freezing point. this might induce further melting. if the oceans were less salty, deeper freezing might occur in the colder months, and less thawing in the warmer ones. Many populations are in need of sources of drinking water. Might ocean water desalination help kill two birds with one stone?

And now, a long time Alaskan resident that I met recently shared how winter's lowest winter temperatures in the Arctic are about 20 degrees above normal. Then I read about how it is the higher winter temperatures that are having the greatest influence in permafrost melting.
