WASHINGTON—The icy region at the top of the globe, lashed by wildfire and pelted with increasingly heavy precipitation, has tipped into “uncharted territory,” scientists reported Tuesday.
The Arctic tundra has shifted from storing carbon in the soil to becoming a carbon dioxide source, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its partner researchers concluded in their 19th annual Arctic Report Card.
As a result, the Arctic’s ability to help regulate Earth’s temperature is significantly compromised. Emissions from warming permafrost regions must be thought of as an increasing risk to a planet already being transformed by the overburden of fossil fuel pollution.
“This year’s report paints a clear and urgent picture of the Arctic’s evolving conditions,” said NOAA Administrator Richard Spinrad. “We are seeing impacts of warming in real time in the Arctic, and it’s a call to action.”
The final Arctic Report Card of President Joe Biden’s term injects uncertainty into the climate picture at the same time that NOAA and other U.S. science agencies head into an unknown future. President-elect Donald Trump, who does not view climate change as a serious threat, has pledged to slash the size of the federal government. His choice for budget director helped craft a roadmap, known as Project 2025, that describes NOAA as “one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry” and calls for the agency to be broken up, with most of its climate research ended.
Congress will have the final say on whether that vision is realized. So it was especially striking that NOAA delivered its big Arctic report at the 24th annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), held this year in the nation’s capital. The largest yearly gathering of Earth and space scientists, with more than 25,000 attendees from 100 countries...

“The icy region at the top of the globe, lashed by wildfire”
Holy crappin’crap! The North Pole on FIRE! in Fall even! Well, they warned us but we didn’t listen.
Congress should pass a law against arctic tundra exhalation.
X-spurts. Waiting for some awesome spores to erupt as it thaws. Could get interesting. Or not.
Why can’t we Celebrate Climate Change ? (It’s pretty cold where I live)
We must raise taxes and drive electric cars...................
The tundra must be destroyed. It’s our only chance.
“This year’s report paints a clear and urgent picture of the Arctic’s evolving conditions,” said NOAA Administrator Richard Spinrad. “We are seeing impacts of warming in real time in the Arctic, and it’s a call to action.” A call to action to what Richard? We should all stop breathing? I should invent a catalytic cow fart converter? I watched the sun rise this morning on the farm, I’m not too worried.
This is why its important to pay your carbon offset taxes
Greening of Antarctica Is Another Sign
of Significant Climate Shift on the
Frozen Continent. A view of Norsel Point
on the Antarctic Peninsula shows the
emerging green areas in the region.
See item #5 below
1. More rain is not a problem.
2. Warmer weather is not a problem.
3. More arable land is not a problem.
4. Longer growing seasons is not a problem.
5. CO2 greening of the earth is not a problem.
6. There isn't any Climate Crisis.
Yep, a call to action to replace this nut.
The only problem is you have to travel further North to go snowmobiling :)
Wouldn’t it be a hoot if they suddenly found it was polar bear farts that were the culprit all along?
‘This is why its important to pay your carbon offset taxes’
SHHHH!!!!!😗
NOAA had better sing a different tune under Trump’s aegis. Maybe try telling the truth next time?

This sums up the entire debate on "Climate Change", with the omission of money laundering using research grants as the pass-between.
Places like Greenland show warming on land stations but a DECREASE in satellite measurements - which is why NOAA and NASA use land stations.
The entire “climate expert” show is nothing by a mind game to keep people fearful and confused. (some may recall the term FUD).
AT a time when BOTH polar caps have seen INCREASES in ice coverage... yet somehow these folks now decry that the Arctic has less ice and is now producing CO2...
Have we not figured out yet that it is all a giant SCAM?
Lets start by drilling for oil!!!!
