1/n LET’S PLAY GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR!!!!
Well as my last attempt⤵️to #StopTheWar in #Ukraine failed to get any traction I thought my 2nd attempt should start with a bang or in the words of #DrStrangelove"How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"

2/n It seems I am not scary enough to scare sense into some participants of the current war, I thought trying to use a selection of #GNUTerryPratchett words from #Discworld #Jingo & #Hogfather along with some horrors of war concepts might persuade #WarCriminals in the conflict
3/n that a better path might be available to them and others if the war ended quickly but as another Author @Kurt_Vonnegut said of horrors in another War #SoItGoes🤷♂️
I started with the words
“LET’S PLAY GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR‼️‼️”
From the #WarGames film

Greatly reduced #ArcticFires over the last week in #CopernicusAtmosphere GFAS data as the season starts to change although latest map atmosphere.copernicus.eu/charts/cams/fi… shows several continuing active #wildfires in #Siberia south of the #ArcticCircle 
Have we seen the end of this year's #ArcticFires? Cloud still limits🛰️obs but #ArcticCircle #wildfires expected to die down in 2nd half August based on 18 years of #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service GFAS data. 240 Mt CO2 since 1 June 2020 higher than previous annual totals.

Comparing #wildfires in different regions of #Siberia & far eastern #Russia since between 1 June to 11 August shows #ArcticFires differences between 2020 & 2019: most activity in Sakha Republic (&Chukotka) but much less activity in Krasnoyarsk & Irkutsk.
Early August #ArcticFires continuing at similar daily total intensity to 2019 in #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service GFAS data confluence.ecmwf.int/display/CKB/CA….

Recently, many anomalies 🌡️❄️🧊 linked to #ClimateChange have been recorded in the #ArcticCircle
The latest one: the collapse of a large section of the Milne #IceShelf 🇨🇦 which has created an ice island of ~79 km2

New precedent in scale & intensity of #Siberia/#Arctic #wildfires compared to previous 17 years in the #Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service GFAS data based on MODIS obs confluence.ecmwf.int/display/CKB/CA… (145 Mt CO2 in July 2020 vs. 182 Mt CO2 total for 2019) #ArcticFires
Daily cumulative estimated #ArcticCircle #wildfire carbon emissions for 2020 (red) were already increasing faster than in 2019 (gold) but increased significantly in the 2nd half of July
Comparing the annual total estimated #wildfire CO2 emissions for the #ArcticCircle from 2003 to 2020 (up to 31 July 2020) shows that this year is already the highest for the region in the GFAS dataset.
July 2020 has witnessed escalation in #ArcticFires previously unseen in #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service GFAS data. #ArcticCircle daily total FRP >> 2019 & July total estimated #wildfire carbon emissions almost double 2019 (2019 annual total was 50 megatonnes carbon).
#Siberia/#ArcticCircle #wildfires continue to produce huge amounts of energy & smoke emissions significantly greater than 2019 & 2003-2018 mean. July 2020 total estimated carbon emissions are already highest in the 18 years of #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service GFAS data
and continuing on 23 July with many active fire obs and clearly visible thick smoke heading over Chukchi Sea in @JPSSProgram #VIIRS🛰️ imagery viewed from NASA Worldview go.nasa.gov/2ZRRfhB
Another big increase in #ArcticCircle daily total #wildfire radiative power on 21 July, well above 2019 max daily total, with July total estimated carbon emissions almost catching up to 2019. #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service GFAS data confluence.ecmwf.int/display/CKB/CA… #ArcticFires
#AquaMODIS visible imagery for 22 July shows the spatial extent of the fire activity is continuing, producing vast amounts of smoke, & another possible increase in the fire monitoring tomorrow.
Estimated 1 Jan - 20 Jul total #ArcticCircle #wildfire carbon emissions for 2020 is highest of the 18 years of #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service GFAS data for same period with daily growth in 2019 & 2020 much earlier, 2nd week June, than 2018, 2017 & 2003-2019 mean

Verkhoyansk—a Siberian small town located in the #ArcticCircle breached the highest temperature record on June 20, 2020.
The temperature reached over 38°C (100° F)—a whopping 18°C more than normal mercury levels for this season.
#Trivia | The town used to be known for its extremely low temperatures, which drops to the level of -69.8°C, making it one of the coldest places on the planet.
