The image below shows a forecast of very high carbon monoxide levels in Oregon, as high as 86,299 ppb on September 11, 2020, 21:00 UTC. The map below shows the location of these peak levels at the red marker. On September 12, 2020, a horrifying peak level of 126,728 ppb is forecast to occur at that same spot at 21:00 UTC. As the image below shows, sulfur dioxide levels are forecast to be as high as 5056.4 µg/m³ on September 12, 2020, at 23:00 UTC. On September 13, 2020, very high carbon dioxide levels are forecast to cover a huge area, with peak levels as high as 82,715 ppb at 07:00 UTC, as the image below shows. The situation is dire and calls for immediate, comprehensive and effective action, as described in the Climate Plan . Links • Climate Plan https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/p/climateplan.html

Smoke covers much of Siberia, as shown by the NASA Worldview image dated July 25, 2019. The enormous intensity of the fires is illustrated by the image below, showing carbon monoxide (CO) levels as high as 80,665 ppb on July 25, 2019. The image below shows that, at that same spot on July 25, 2019, carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels were as high as 1205 ppm. The image below shows that aerosols from biomass burning were at the top end of the scale. When soot from fires settles on snow and ice, it darkens the surface, resulting in more sunlight getting absorbed (instead of reflected back into space, as was previously the case), thus further speeding up the melting. The loss of sea ice north of Greenland is particularly worrying, since this is the area where once the thickest sea ice was present. The image below shows the situation on July 24, 2019. The image below shows the sea ice disappearing north of Greenland and Ellesmere Island on July 25, 2019. The huge recent fall in sea ice volume is il...

Fires are raging over Alaska. The satellite image below shows the situation on July 8, 2019. The satellite image below shows the situation on July 9, 2019. The image below shows carbon monoxide levels as high as 43,443 ppb over Alaska on July 8, 2019. Carbon dioxide levels were as high as 561 ppm over that same spot in Alaska on July 8, 2019. Carbon dioxide levels were as high as 888 ppm on July 10, 2019, as the image below shows. The image below shows a forecast for July 10, 2019, with temperatures forecast to be as high as 35.5°C or 95.8°F. What causes such extreme weather events to occur? The Arctic has been heating up faster than the rest of the world, due to self-reinforcing feedback loops such as the decline of the snow and ice cover in the Arctic, which results in less sunlight getting reflected back into space and more sunlight instead getting absorbed in the Arctic. As the image on the right shows, sea surface temperatures in the Bering Sea were as high as 19.8°C or 67.64°F...
