“Purposeful starvation” I hope Americans are listening because Democrats and Republicans are getting awfully free-wheeling with social murder. And after all, it’s not like their killing us isn’t spelled out in their “Georgia Guidestones.”
Starvation was the weapon, Stalin the wielder.
As Russia once again terrorizes Ukraine, we must remember the USSR's genocide of 4 million Ukrainians via purposeful and premeditated starvation in the early 1930s.

Think about it. Harris did it, Pence did it more than once, Jill Biden did it, and now POTUS himself is doing it. What’s “it”? Visiting Wisconsin aka Kochland. Same home to the alt right Nazi ALEC, Bradley Fdtn, Koch. Washington keeps visiting the State in person. May be also by phone or paper but somehow I doubt it’s the same.
Again, it’s not, say, Oregon, Georgia or Nevada the keep visiting, but always Wisconsin. Trump’s vp pence visited Wisconsin more than once in the leading up to the Jan 6 practice coup, and now the Biden administration is repeatedly visiting.
Is there anger over America not giving more support to the Nazis in Ukraine? Are they planning for the fruits of state level Voter suppression laws that apparently have bipartisan support? Maybe a new US Constitution is in the works. Sure would like to read those emails, if they were ever created that is

“ALBEDO LOSS IN ANTARCTICA
Antarctic sea ice extent on February 20, 2022, was only 1.983 million km². On February 20, 2008, it was 3.783 million km². That's a difference of 1.8 million km², or some 0.36% of the total surface of Earth (which is 510,072,000 km²).
Incoming solar radiation at Top Of Atmosphere (TOA) is 340.4 W/m². This 340.4 W/m² is an average. The value varies depending on the seasons, i.e. the more the surface of Earth is facing the Sun, the higher this value will be.
Another variable is how many clouds and aerosols are in the sky. Much of this radiation can be reflected or absorbed by the atmosphere and some of the radiation that reaches the surface can also be reflected. Yet, on a cloud-free day, where the sky is clear from aerosols, much of the incoming solar radiation will reach the surface. It further depends on the albedo of the surface, how much will in the end be absorbed or reflected at the surface.
Albedo refers to the reflectivity of the surface. Earth average albedo is 0.3 or 30%. The albedo of sea ice can be as high as 0.9 (i.e. 90% when covered with fresh snow). Currently, albedo of the sea ice is about 0.6 (the sea ice is partly covered with melt pools). Open water has an albedo of 0.06. So, disappearance of the sea ice makes an albedo difference of at least 0.5.
So, when taking half of 340 W/m² and multiplying this by 0.36% (i.e. the part of Earth's surface), that gives a radiative forcing of 0.612 W/m². That would mean that some 0.612 W/m² that was previously reflected (Feb 20, 2008) is now instead absorbed by the ocean (on Feb 20, 2022). If Antarctic sea ice would disappear altogether, that would correspond to another loss of some 0.612 W/m², and together with the difference between 2008 and 2022, that would add up to a total radiative forcing of 1,224 W/m².
That's almost half as much as all human-caused global warming in 2019 (radiative forcing was 2.72 W/m² in 2019 relative to 1750, according to IPCC AR6).
If anyone can add to or improve the above calculation, please add a comment below.

Barrow Alaska has reported an increase in greenhouse gas emissions that has caused concern. The “jump” appears consistent with exponential growth in methane emissions. Readers comments follow:
Joe Neubarth
All this is a LARGE increase in Arctic (Alaska) release of methane over the last half year. Warm Pacific waters are flowing in between Siberia and Alaska. There is ice on the top of the Arctic Ocean so the warm water flows down to the underwater surface where it accelerates the release of Methane from the underwater permafrost. We are up near 2040 ppb for a monthly average for the past three months. We really need to worry when we see 4000 ppb and 5000 ppb, and that is a few years off.

Global methane emissions from oil, gas and coal are 70 percent higher than the official figures that governments have reported, according to a report released today by the International Energy Agency.
This year's edition of the report, dubbed the Global Methane Tracker, incorporates readings from a new breed of satellites devoted to finding and measuring greenhouse gas emissions. It also includes country-by-country emissions from coal mines for the first time.
The report comes after a recent Washington Post investigation found a vast gap between the emissions that countries are reporting to the United Nations and the emissions they're sending into the atmosphere.
In a statement, IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said it was “alarming” to identify such “massive underreporting” of methane emissions. Birol called on countries to support enhanced monitoring efforts and stronger policy action to curb emissions of the potent greenhouse gas.
Although carbon dioxide is more abundant, methane is about 80 times more effective at trapping heat during its first decade in the atmosphere. That means curbing methane pollution in the near term could provide a relatively quick way to slow Earth's warming.”

“Plastic pollution is a huge threat to the health of our ecosystem. It is not only lethal to wildlife but the entire food chain, since humans eat and digest the fish that have plastic particles inside them. Across the world, 8 million metric tons of plastic waste enters the ocean each year. Corals, which are a vital component to keeping the ocean healthy, have a much higher chance of contracting disease when coming into contact with plastic.
There are an estimated fifty-one trillion microplastic particles in the ocean and by 2025 if is predicated there could be one tone of plastic for every three tons of fish in the world’s oceans. Single-use plastic is particularly wasteful lasting in the environment for up to 1,000 years despite being used for mere minutes.”

“Accelerating melt rate makes Greenland Ice Sheet world's largest 'dam'”

This finding that melting of the ice sheet from below is far faster (orders of magnitude) than estimates so far, would mean the committed (at over 1.5C) slow loss of the ice sheet is passed its tipping point. The lower range of the tipping point is 1.5 C (around 2030) and 2C is now committed because governments are still pushing fossil fuels so no global decline in sight. 2C is around 2045. The world must mobilize now to stop fossil fuel subsidizing and permitting. #climate”

“Climate scientist in Antarctica speaks to Metro Vancouver officials about 'doomsday' glacier
David Holland says they have discovered that the water underneath an ice shelf is 3 C above the freezing point, which has frightening implications for how fast the glacier is melting.”
“The latest news report from an actual pair of 'boots on the ice'.
Canadian climate scientist David Holland, who is also a professor of mathematics and atmosphere/ocean science at New York University, is studying the rapid demise of the Thwaites 'Doomsday Glacier' and its nearby attendant glaciers also liable to collapse into the seas, perhaps in as little as 3 years.
This will take a little time to filter down into the communiques of the world's press and media outlets and climate projections enabling policy makers to adjust their sums and figures. When it does, more bad news, "worse than anyone expected", "faster than anyone predicted", will be the headlines.
Some of us in this group are already aware its worse than the worst predictions.
(“On this little tiny planet we live on if you change the air temperature you change wind, and if you muck about with ocean currents and if they run into big ice sheets you’re toast.”
Adriane Carr, chair of Metro Vancouver’s climate committee, said it’s essential to hear from climate scientists such as Holland to help people realize that “we absolutely have to be successful” in taking dramatic action to address the existential threat of climate change.
“I certainly came away with — and I think everybody did — that the ice is melting faster than any of us would like to see,” said Carr. She said this latest research in the Antarctic isn’t included in the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s prediction of a sea level rise of one metre by 2100, which means it could be much higher than policy-makers are anticipating in their climate action plans.)”
