This is the next in a series of diaries on the state of Arctic sea ice (and other topics as warranted) in memory of Johnny Rook, who passed away in early 2009. He was the author of the Climaticide Chronicles.
I was away in, of all places, Ft. Lauderdale FL this past weekend, so I didn't do a diary right away. I was at a yearly conference for the National Asssociation of Black and White Men Together Annual Convention for 2010. This group at one time had as many as 1200 or so members and 30-some-odd chapters in the U.S. and elsewhere (when known as the INTERnational Association of Black and White Men Together). Now we only have about 10 chapters and maybe one-hundred members. What happened is the topic of another diary I may do some day.
Headlines from last week:
- Rate of ice loss increases
- Strong low pressure anomaly forms over west Siberia
- Anomalous southerly flow from the Asian continent over central and east Siberia
- Off-Arctic: Record heat wave and drought in European Russia, Ukraine, adjacent countries; Moscow hits 101°F; first time ever over 100°F.
