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 ImageImage
Daily total #Siberia #wildfire intensity for Sakha Republic &Chukotka Autonomous Oblast showing some increase at or slightly > 2003-2018 mean in recent days but << the activity earlier in August ImageImage

Cloud affecting NASA #AquaMODIS🛰️obs go.nasa.gov/3h6C7mA & daily intensity of #ArcticCircle #wildfires possibly leading to last few days of 2020 #ArcticFires if following 2019 & 2003-2018 average in #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service GFAS data confluence.ecmwf.int/display/CKB/CA… ImageImageImage
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. ImageImage

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 ImageImageImage
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 Image
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. Image

#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 ImageImageImage
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 Image

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 ImageImageImage
#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. Image

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.
