For example, at the start of September, just as the long Antarctic winter was ending, a big blast of heat made it all the way from the equator to West Antarctica, setting new records and taking some areas above the melt point, months ahead of normal.

Initiated in the 1990s and spanning four continents, Reality Hacking consists of over 300 interventions to date, including such varied works as RH No. 320 (Snow Monsters)(2015), a constellation of twelve marble snowmen in various stages of melting that occupied the plaza outside of the Flatiron Building in New York City; RH No. 202 (2002 — 2003), a composition performed by the Ensemble for New Music Zurich based on a recording the artist made of a glass shelf filled with crystal objects crashing down a flight of stairs; RH No. 200 (2002), an artificial doughnut - shaped island built at the delta of a river in Switzerland using rocks and earth from the construction of a nearby tunnel; and RH No. 244 (2007), a snowman installed at the southernmost point of the African continent.

Now Ferdinand can explain how this data is fraudulent (a little tough to do since the author is the leading scientist in the field) or how the record melting is really beside the point since we can be confident that Greenland isn't warming anyway.

However, it seems to be a robust feature and not a measurement artefact, as we find no alteration in our CO2 record due to (1) enlarged amounts of impurities12, (2) increasing temperature with depth -LRB--7.2 °C at 3060m to -4.2 °C at 3,200 m, pressure melting point: -2.3 °C) or (3) changes in the ice structure.

Here on Bitsofscience.org we hope to be your climate records reference point, so we try not to miss any of the major reports on temperature trends or Arctic melting records.

I must point out that this particular section generally holds info up to about 2010 ~ and so doesn't directly mention all the additional weight of scientific info in the last five years [i.e. all the newer «hot year» global records and even faster Ice Melt and sea - level rise].

Well, it nearly * tripled * from mid February to late March, yet never reached above about 65 % of average at any point this season (and recent record warmth has already triggered melting; the snowpack is already back down to 55 % of average for the date).

The Greenland ice sheet is poised for another record melt this year, and is approaching a «tipping point» into a new and more dangerous melt regime in which the summer melt area covers the entire land mass, according to new findings from polar researchers.

«Every piece of valid evidence â $» long - term temperature averages that smooth out year - to - year fluctuations, Arctic sea ice volume, melting of glaciers, the ratio of record highs to record lows â $» points to a continuing, and quite possibly accelerating, rise in global temperatures.

«That particular cyclone, which lasted several days and raised temperatures in the region close to the melting point, hindered sea ice growth while its associated strong winds pushed the sea ice edge back, leading to a record low spring sea ice pack in 2016,» Petty and Boisvert explained.
