Intricate Ice Carvings at Ottawa’s Annual Winterlude, in Confederation Park across from City Hall

Guess how they are carved???

I have had a chance to read more of this 527 page report, and chat about many things in this video, such as: - Arctic ozone - Stratospheric cooling - Snow cover extent reduction in the Arctic, and effect on reducing albedo which is almost on par with reduction of albedo from sea ice loss - Stratospheric water vapor, including that from Hunga volcano in 2022 - Vanishing clouds decreasing overall Earth albedo - Global humidity increase , especially in last few years - Global CO increase, from incomplete combustion of wildfires - Cool nights vanishing, replaced by many nights over 20 C making it hard to get good sleep - Surface specific humidity increases, total column water vapor increases - Super extreme land surface temperatures above 55 to 60 C, and with high humidity making larger fractions of land surface uninhabitable - LST (Land Surface Temperature) monitoring from space versus from ground weather stations - Regions threatened with uninhabitable conditions: western North America, North Africa, Arabian Peninsula, parts of South and Central Asia, Australia... - Permafrost thawing, active layer thickness increasing, cold permafrost warming very fast, warm ice-bearing permafrost temperature increasing more slowly due to latent heat effects, until all the ice within it melts - Ground temperature borehole measurements showing large temperature rise - Rock glaciers on the move - Lake Ice cover, ice formation delayed, ice thaw advanced, ice duration decreasing sharply - Wet bulb temperatures 25 C, 27C, 29C, and 31C occurring over more land - land and ocean precipitation extremes on rise - cloud reduction - river freshwater discharge in oceans greatly reduced since 2000-2005 time period - phenology (ecological timing) monitored by PhenoCams showing large disruption - Many more Marine Heat Waves (MHW) and much fewer Marine Cold Spells (MCS) - salinity changes - global ocean phytoplankton shifts threaten ability of ocean to be a carbon sink - tropical heat waves showing sharp rise, huge SST in tropics - shifts in ITCZ - InterTropical Convergence Zone, and in South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) - huge Arctic changes, North West Passage completely open in 2024 - Iceberg A23a, trillion tons on the move, ocean seafloor affects motion via Taylor Column effect, massive iceberg also spins around in about 25 days in very new phenomena - Southern ocean changes Links: 4 page pdf: https://www.ametsoc.org/ams/about-ams/news/news-releases/international-state-of-the-climate-report-confirms-record-high-greenhouse-gases-global-temperatures-global-sea-level-and-ocean-heat-in-2024/pdf/ Link to full 527 page report: https://ametsoc.net/sotc2024/SotC2024.pdf Please donate to http://PaulBeckwith.net to support my research and videos connecting the dots on abrupt climate system mayhem.$
