Climate change: The place on Earth heating fastest - BBC News

Svalbard in the Arctic Circle is estimated to be heating at six times the global average.

The consensus is that the temperature in Svalbard has jumped 4C in the past 50 years.

Since the 1980s, the amount of summer sea ice has halved and some scientists fear it will be gone altogether by 2035.

Wildlife and human life are now in a struggle to survive.

More lies. The only thing melting rapidly here is any kind of confidence in this manipulative nonsense.

[iesroo]

This is so sad that its all melting and the earth is warming up, I wish people could take climate change and global warming more seriously 😢

[SteveBene]

There are more polar bears today than 25 years ago. The bears aren't complaining. Why are you?

[ulba]

As a Norwegian I am really sadden by this situation, thinking back to a hundred years ago when Roald Amundsen and other polar explorers had to fight their way up to the islands through thick ice, and now there barely being any ice at all!

Imagine having a climate summit in a location that doesn't have 5-star hotels and enough airport space to park the private jets.

Can’t compare with 150 years ago. Then we had the very cold spell - the Thames froze over, the mini ice age. It’s warmed since and has been warming since the last ice age. It’s natural and positive as a warmer world is better for nature.

This reminds me of the recent movie "Don't Look Up" with Leo where all people ignored the evidence of a comet coming into collision to Earth, and is not until the last moment, when nothing can be done, when we try to look for solutions. Sad to say but this is also everyone's individual life, is not until the last moment that we try to make a change, out of desperation, because our own individuality is at risk. I'm so sorry for future generations, but also marvelled at how our end is going to be.

Meanwhile in Amsterdam it is about 20 degrees which would be nice mid september.

[globalwarming]

Damn He said it "if we cant give up fossil fuel in the the fastest warming place on Earth What hope for the Rest"

[sethaost]

It’s October 27 and no snow up in upstate New York. Don’t think that’s right 🧐 yea!? And it’s till 67 up here. I remember when I could go sledding can’t really do it anymore lol. No snow ❄️

[-.l.-]

Today, what we need to do for the future is to take action based on scientific understanding. As inhabitants of the planet, we are more dependent than ever before. Everything we do affects countless animals and plants as well as humans.

We humans are the only creatures with the power to destroy the earth, but we humans are also the ones who can exert our potential to protect the earth.

[sofiya]

Why you don't say that actually polar bears population is at it's highest ever!???

[whattheysayk]

Is the earth is heating up why don’t the news ever show us Antarctica also See what you like to do is pick and choose what I should worry about and I choose to worry about Antarctica at this point show me that

[DavidSigbi]

Even if we go 100% clean it wont reverse these problems

[terramater]

That's so concerning and important to see. Our crew registered how these changes are also damaging the wildlife in the Arctic. Orcas were rarely seen there. But, now, our team caught on camera these dolphins taking it over and hunting animals that were unaware of their existence. It's very concerning when we think about the species that live there and how they are going to cope with all these changes.

[deejay]

Interesting. Tens of thousands of people are flying to Egypt to tell everyone to not fly. Anyway, I’m sad to hear that all the polar bears are dead.

[areeyedee]

Yes, we can save the earth but we need to call out all those who talk the talk but then do nothing. This is one of the main reasons I made a song and a music video about calling all the hypocrites out and saying “You Can SMC” and we should stand together and start our own revolution by doing what needs to be done to help.

[childofthes]

FOR THE RECORD, IN THIS CURRENT INTERGLACIAL PERIOD, THAT IS COLDER THAN PREVIOUS INTERGLACIAL PERIODS, THE POLAR BEAR POPULATION IS VERY HEALTHY AND INCREASING.

[GTOOtt]

This is wrong.
The place heating fastest is my house because I have my central heating on full.

[saltyweasel]

Humanity, the only species that knowingly and willingly exterminates itself.
