This is the sound of one of the strongest storms ever witnessed on Planet Earth.

This is super typhoon #RollyPH
(#Goni) striking Albay, Philippines 🇵🇭 a few hours ago.

A historic event.

The winds of #RollyPH are destructive but the flood waters can often be underestimated. Polangui, Albay. Magurang area, Philippines 🇵🇭 at around 10am local time.

⚠️ Destruction in the Phillippines 🇵🇭 is inevitable with catastrophic landfall expected in the next 24 hours ⚠️

Super #Typhoon Goni is the strongest storm on the planet right now.

The centre of the storm will pass almost directly over the capital, Manila.

Category 5 hurricane equivalent as #Goni approaches.

Wave height reports of 60 feet (18 m) right now offshore.

Official warning tracks and graphics are here: metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/jtwc.html

While large parts of the Arctic remain ice free, temperatures remain extremely high compared to normal for this time of year.

Temperature is unable to drop much below freezing where open water remains. In the past, ice cover would allow temperatures to be more like -25 °C.

We are observing the vicious loop which amplifies climate change in the Arctic.

Warmer Arctic = more ice melt = more open water = more energy absorbed from sun in summer = warmer water = more ice melt = more open water...

Extreme and relentless heat in the Arctic has resulted in a shocking lack of Arctic Sea Ice this year.

The refreeze season is millions of square kilometres behind where it should be (orange line). We are in uncharted territory right now.

This is daily coverage since April.

More and more water becomes exposed each decade as the climate warms.

This is how the minimum ice extent varies from 1980 to 2020.

The orange line is a 30 year average from 1980-2010 for this date.

If we average each dace since the 1980s, the trend is clear.

The glacier concerned in this post is part of a global trend.

The climate is always changing. We know that.

But look at how fast we have changed it recently.

Southern Turkey 🇹🇷 and parts of Syria 🇸🇾 are on fire right now.

This is footage from the forests of Turkish Hatay province today.

The recent exceptional heatwave and dry conditions have played a crucial role in exacerbating the situation.
