Terrifying, obviously. But is the potential land carbon sink implication of a greening antarctic in the noise? Are current models effectively hardcoding bare ground? @rosieafisher.bsky.social@ckoven.bsky.social@ecoclimatelab.bsky.social@dougmcneall.bsky.socialwww.nature.com/articles/d41...
Vegetation is spreading at an alarming rate in a place where temperatures are soaring.
Antarctic krill store as much carbon as the world’s mangroves, salt marshes and seagrass beds https://theconversation.com/antarctic-krill-store-as-much-carbon-as-the-worlds-mangroves-salt-marshes-and-seagrass-beds-238465
For the first time, we used a computer model of ocean currents to show that krill waste products don’t need to reach great depths to achieve carbon storage for at least 100 years.

New research shows that Antarctic krill store as much carbon as key coastal habitats like mangroves and seagrasses, highlighting their role in carbon storage. However, global warming and overfishing t...
Antarctic 'greening' at dramatic rate, satellite data show #ClimateChange#GlobalWarming#ClimateCrisisphys.org/news/2024-10...
Vegetation cover across the Antarctic Peninsula has increased more than 10-fold over the last four decades, new research shows.
Wait, not the Antarctic? O_o
Sustained greening of the Antarctic Peninsula observed from satellites #ClimateChange#GlobalWarming#sciencewww.nature.com/articles/s41...
Analyses of satellite observations from 1986 to 2021 suggest that the Antarctic Peninsula is greening at an accelerated rate.
Such a mechanism is inherently climate sensitive and may be widespread around the Antarctic Continent, with concerning positive feedbacks that are currently undetermined. www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-3...
And he was only reporting on much older consensus science. There certainly wasn't any global excuse after Thatcher roasted the UN 30yrs ago after being briefed by the British Antarctic Survey; she sketched out everything needed to manage the crisis transition.
