Iceland - Long-term Glacier Trends and T Reconstructions

Ojokull Glacier. Another heartbreaking story of climate doom! Summary: Another day, another heart-rending story about the coming climate doom.

Another heartbreaking story of climate doom!

Okjökull is dead. They say that we killed it. The story is bogus, as usual. Okjökull (aka Ok) in the Langjökull Group is a small cupola-type mountain glacier located north of a snow-filled summit crater on Ok, a volcano in west-central Iceland. Named for its shape like a yoke. “Iceland’s first glacier lost to climate change will be remembered with a monument to be unveiled next month at the site of the former glacier.

“The melted glacier was the subject of the 2018 documentary “Not Ok,” produced by Rice anthropologists Cymene Howe and Dominic Boyer. . “’In the same spirit as the film, we wanted to create a lasting memorial to Ok, a small glacier that has a big story to tell,” Boyer said. Of course, journalists went wild with the story, such as The Guardian’s “Icelandic memorial warns future: ‘Only you know if we saved glaciers.’” By Helgi Björnsson (2016).

Q&A: What happens when a volcano beneath a glacier erupts? Discovery Scientists studying Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull volcano took a close look October 11, 2016 This is part 19 in a series on NSF's geosciences risk and resilience interest area.

Q&A: What happens when a volcano beneath a glacier erupts?

Please see parts one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18. In 2010, Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull volcano -- its crater covered by glacier ice -- erupted, spewing clouds of ash that led to delays in flights to and from Europe. Q: How often do volcanoes covered by snow and ice erupt? Esperanca: Volcanoes at high latitudes on continents are often covered by ice and snow, sometimes through the summer months. Q: Is Eyjafjallajökull Iceland's only glacier-covered volcano? Edwards: Iceland has many glacierized volcanoes [volcanoes at least partly covered by ice], including the recent earthquake-rattled Katla, Grímsvötn, Bárðarbunga and others.

Q: Did lava from the 2010 eruption flow beneath the glacier's ice? Iceland’s Sea Ice Years Adjusted Away. By Paul Homewood One further thing to add to Tony Heller’s post about the Icelandic temperature adjustments.

Iceland’s Sea Ice Years Adjusted Away

In January 2012, Trausti Jonsson emailed this to me: In 1965 there was a real and very sudden climatic change in Iceland (deterioration). It was larger in the north than in the south and affected both the agriculture and fishing – and therefore also the whole of society with soaring unemployment rates and a 50% devaluation of the local currency. In the questions above the year 1965 is mentioned twice.

Yet when we look at the adjustments made by GHCN, we find this is exactly what they have done: We can see this more clearly if we focus in on Akureyri (see graph below). Temperatures went lower than they had been since the early 1920s. More Detailed Analysis Of The Canberra Times/Gavin Schmidt Iceland Fraud. Last week, Senator Malcolm Roberts of Queensland asked Gavin Schmidt of NASA to explain the large adjustments being made to temperatures around Iceland, which removed the 1940’s warmth.

More Detailed Analysis Of The Canberra Times/Gavin Schmidt Iceland Fraud

Gavin responded in the Canberra Times on November 21 with a number of massive lies, like this one where claimed he didn’t know Malcolm Roberts was a senator. NASA chief slaps down climate sceptic senator Malcolm Roberts: ‘You hold a number of misconceptions’ Gavin has been tweeting Senator Roberts for months, and is perfectly aware that he is senator. It is a senator’s job to ask questions, and Schmidt’s job to answer them. Gavin’s dishonest attack on Senator Roberts for asking a question, should be grounds enough for his dismissal. Next up was this claim in the article that the adjustments were 0.7C and made because of a station shift in 1921. This also is a massive lie, as the adjustments are twice as large as the article claimed, and show no indication of having anything to do with a 1921 station shift. Iceland Warmer Than Rome & South of France!! By Paul Homewood I came across this page in HH Lamb’s Climate, History and the Modern World yesterday.

Iceland Warmer Than Rome & South of France!!

Don’t worry about the details on the map, as they are too small to read in the book anyway. It is his description at the bottom that makes for interesting reading. Note how temperatures in Iceland were higher than Rome and the south of France. What he has has identified is precisely the same sort of meteorological set up, which has recently wafted up mild Atlantic air into the Arctic, and cold continental air to the UK.

Nowadays, climate scientists try to persuade us that there is something unprecedented and alarming about this, and that it must have something to do with “melting Arctic ice”. Lamb would have called it weather! Like this: Like Loading...
