Yeah this aint good. This is tbh very worrying...

As an Alaskan, this is gonna be a god damn nightmare. Helpful for maybe some new construction and utility lines but awful for all existing
CanisMaximus
Alaskan for >37 years. So much has already changed. Spruce are almost gone from the beetles. More deciduous trees. Shorter, milder winters.
Kopar
Yeah, the beetles were the marker that really separated a lot of my adult from childhood memories. I'll never see it the same in my life.

Not so permafrost.
FlooperRooney
Permafrost melting is some seriously, seriously bad shit.
Pieala
I'm wondering if it just passed by that house/barn, or if the front of it got mashed in by all the permafrost.
CommentsWithGandalf
Why not both? Neighbors and such.
Pieala
Hmmm? I said house because of the windows in the picture; but I thought it could be a barn...U saying it could be neighbor's house?

Republicans will still say "there's been no significant warming over the last 2 decades" scientists say the last 10 years were the hottest10

Their response? "Sure, it got hot more than 2 decades ago. It's been the same since then."

Who are these people? Why do that have to stop? Is this a quote from somewhere? Is this a metaphor I don't get? What does this all mean?
QUIBICUS
Is it that the hills are going to smother and kill everyone in the valley?
Gilgamech
It's an MST3K quote referencing a very old song.
AVoiceOfReason
A lot of people pretending to get this comment.

They must have kept circulating the tapes. The song was an oldie, forget which MST3K.

Permafrost shouldn't be melting right?

No. It shouldn't. This is super bad. :-(

Right.
Necr0Synthetic
No in fact some scientists fear they're may be dormant bacteria/viruses that we're not conditioned too within the permafrost.
collectorvx8
Also very bad juju is that the methane stored in the permafrost is waaay more powerful than co2 in terms of changing climate. Like 25:1

Microwave? No thanks, I cook my panda ribs the old fashioned way, with gasoline.
spoodermon
well it should be permanent
RPhoenix
Nothing is permanent, the sahara used to be grasslands, siberia used to be a temperate rain forest, the western us used to be seafloor [c]
RPhoenix
To say that humanity should cease it's activities to force nature to stop changing in reaction to humanity's presence is the ultimate hubris
spoodermon
death is permanent, check mate.

Nothing to worry about, just a Chinese hoax designed to ruin the American economy.

"increasingly poorly-named permafrost"
GandalfTheOctarine
Well, the Earth had large era without any polar ice, so the absence of permafrost an sich is alright. Just the speed is worrying.
1234canIhavealittlemore
Yeah, and sea-level was 60 meters higher. Guess where most of the people live? This will be a huge problem.
GandalfTheOctarine
I live 4 meters above current sea level. More than half of my country(wo)men live below current sea level.
GandalfTheOctarine
So trust me, in 50 years, half of my country will be flooded. Amsterdam will be an international diving attraction.
RPhoenix
Weren't they saying the same thing, only the timeline was 30 years in the 80s?
GandalfTheOctarine
Climate science is a very young science. And they hardly know what we are doing. Ten year-old publications are nonsense with today's insight
LeadByBadExample
Private submarines will be needed to sail the channels of Amsterdam. As a Dane, I feel you, Dutch-bro.
GandalfTheOctarine
We will move deeper in land, Great Dane! Run for the hills!
minipancho94
not for me, hello beach front property! :D
gewalt
I mean, its got green grass on top of it. so its not REALLY permafrost.
ozjuggler
It's like imgurians have never seen a landslide follow a creek. Annual glacial melt could do this. It's amazing but doesn't portent doom.
GoldenPenisOfWisdom
Just a chinese ruse, ask trump!

Well, this *is* tibet, so China would agree this is China.
SpitefulRed
Ah yes, our dear leader, "The Scientist"
TeamToasterNeverForget
per definition it doesnt.. hence the PERMA part
JHawke
Now I'm not saying global warming isn't happening. I'm not saying this isn't bad. But the world has been without permafrost before.
TeamToasterNeverForget
im a petroleum engineer and i also dont think global warming isnt real, i also think its bad.. but perma comes from permanent :D
JHawke
It is a name given to something by humans who also named things like seahorse.
TheSpooniestFeeling
considering there are dead things, methane, and CO2 in this crap. It ain't gud
WeylandYutaniCorp
Unless they rename it Tempafrost, no.
kambojah
Who names the present, controls the past.
MrPeebles
Nope, the name is in reference to it having remained frozen for quite some time now. This is bad juju.

stopdiarrheawithatampon
Lol
nexusband
No, it isn't. Permafrost is just a designation for grid, that has been under 0°C for longer than 2 years. the problem 1/2
nexusband
With melting that 200-300 year old permafrost is, that there is a lot of methane below, which is the equivalent of what we put out in the
nexusband
Last 150 years. In and itself, it wouldn't be a huge problem, but both of those things together could lead to a tipping point, where the
nexusband
Climate would fall back to something the dinosaurs had. And it took long winters, to cool the earth back down to make it livable for us
NaughtButOne
No, this sort of thing happens all the time. Geological records prove it. What's that? Four billion years, you say? Don't be ridiculous.
eggmuffin
"All the time", in the context of four billion years, doesn't mean what it usually does.
dm80x86
So do mass extinctions, that time scale.

I feel like you were being sarcastic and nobody got it.

Global warming?
supersomatic
no. individual events do not depict trends. thats like saying global warming isn't real because its colder where I am.
MarshmallowFluffernutterPie
These aren't individual events any more.
supersomatic
THEY ARE ALWAYS INDIVIDUAL EVENTS. You are human. You do not perceive trends. To think you do is ignorant beyond belief.
MarshmallowFluffernutterPie
The *fuck* does that even mean? Permafrost is melting, that's NOT supposed to happen. We're fucked, climate is changing and it's our fault.
supersomatic
Permafrost has melted. Permafrost will melt again. With or without us, or global warming.

Not until alternative energy gets way cheaper and more effective. It will take 100 years to do what needs to be done.

Climate change*
NotTheGreatestOCJustATribute
Every scientist says you can't attribute single events to climate change. Every dumb ass without a degree still does. Good ole internet
twozerooz
Similarly, you cant tie any one persons lung cancer to smoking, yet we CAN say that most of them will still be due to smoking.
FartyMcFarterson
No, and not climate change either. It's called Nature and Weather and happens every so often, sometimes every year like Seasons.
twozerooz
No its called climate change and global warming.
LordCastellanCreedtheSupremeCommanderofCadia
Weather is not the same thing as climate. Weather changes day to day, year to year. Climate is the long term average. Climate is changing.
lonelyforsakentorturedheart
No, there's no such thing as global warming. The "science" isn't in. Says the person who got payed millions of dollars to say such things.
JohnSmith3697
Not in the al gore sense, the earth and nature is fluid and changing. Ice melting in new places is normal and it won't be the last time
turningthei
Maybe not in the al gore sense, but in the anthropogenic climate change sense.
Sfinski
Climate change is more accurate, but yes.
twozerooz
Both are perfectly acceptable
NotACanadian
Global warming is a type of climate change, and very accurate to this specific phenomenon of climate change.
Sfinski
Global warming indicates that warming happens globally, when it actually doesn't. Climate change withholds weather extremes, drought,
Sfinski
intense heat and cold etc.
Stockyhome
Im glad you explained that
Sfinski
Np. Clad to have helped.
NotACanadian
It doesn't, but instead refers to the global average, which is indeed rising. The warming regions far outweigh the cooling ones.
Sfinski
I know that. That is why it is too inaccurate for my taste.
LordCastellanCreedtheSupremeCommanderofCadia
Global warming is exactly what it sounds like, a global rise in temperatures. Climate change refers to both global warming and the changes 1
LordCastellanCreedtheSupremeCommanderofCadia
it causes. Climate change is a more encompassing term but the underlying cause is still global warming. 2/2
twozerooz
False. Global warming only refers to the planets total heat capacity increasing, NOT that everywhere gets warmer.
Sfinski
That's a reason why it is problematic, especially when there's people who don't believe in it.
IfYouCheckMyCommentsYouWillNoticeImNotAFunnyGuy
No.
twozerooz
Wrong.
