The scientist who led the international MOSAiC expedition to the North Pole on Tuesday warned that the point could have already been reached at which irreversible global warming is triggered.
During its expedition, the German research vessel “Polarstern” drifted through the Arctic on an ice floe for a year to also be able to research the winter at the North Pole, and the effects of climate change.
“The disappearance of summer sea ice in the Arctic is one of the first landmines in this minefield, one of the tipping points that we set off first when we push warming too far,” said team leader Markus Rex, adding: “One can essentially ask if we haven’t already stepped on this mine and already set off the beginning of the explosion.” […]
Presenting the information eight months on, Rex noted that the ice had retreated “faster in the spring of 2020 than since the beginning of records” and that “the spread of the sea ice in the summer was only half as large as decades ago.”
“Only the evaluation in the next years will allow us to determine if we can still save the year-round Arctic sea ice through forceful climate protection or whether we have already passed this important tipping point in the climate system,” he said. …

Why do leftists never blame the sun for warming? Why is it always assumed the sun’s energy output is constant ?
That dude wants money. Everything will be fine.
All I’ll say and always say is that when Lib folks are starting to sell their beach front property (like Obunghole has) for pennies on the dollar I’ll start believing this CRAP!
To regulate human activity of course. To regulate human activity you have to blame humans.
If they don’t include water vapor in their calculations, how could they include the sun? Come on, man; follow the “science”.
(Never mind the absence of their alleged warming. Weather overnight here will be in the 40s.)
May? Could? Suggests? Yeah, it doesn’t get more scientific than that.
Just the other day the big story in Australia was snowfall in places...and in amounts...that are just about unheard of (it’s winter there right now).
“...if we can still save the year-round Arctic sea ice through forceful climate protection...”
Wonder what they mean by FORCEFUL? And who get’s to apply the force...
Next year, jan-feb - mar, 2022 will be one of the coldest on record with rolling blackouts due to not enough juice to the grid. But the libs will still blame trump and coal fired power plants for “global warming.. Hey, a man can dream can’t he?
Well, if it is irreversible, no reason to try to limit man’s production of CO2 and destroy many lives to “save” the planet...
You guys laughed at me when I worried about Guam tipping over. Now it’s the whole Arctic. I hope you’re all happy.
Or the Chinese. I've spent a fair amount of time in China in recent years...southern China to be precise. The clearest day,pollution-wise,I've ever seen there is 20 times worse than the worst I've ever seen in the LA Basin,New York City or the Ruhr Valley (Germany's industrial heartland).
Seriesly, Rex? There are records that show virtually half the entire northern hemisphere was under a sheet of ice as recently as 12,000 years ago. Records also show there have been several periods in Earth's history known as Ice Ages.
Is that what you would like to go back to Rex?
I didn't think so. Now be a good boy and go fetch me a beer. An ice cold one.
What? It’s going to tip over?
I’m still more concerned about Guam’s tipping point.
It’s their religion… so there’s that.
