As Arctic Night Falls, Sea Ice Holds Its Ground
The sun has just set at the top of the world, and the weather in that neck of the woods is about as lousy as you would expect. The temperature dropped to 4 degrees Fahrenheit earlier this week at the world’s northernmost outpost, Alert, in Canada’s Nunavut territory.
Another Arctic winter is coming.
Nevertheless, the high Arctic is still the epicenter of global climate change, and the scientific and policy controversies that surround the topic. Much of the region has just experienced another abnormally warm summer. Springtime snowpack was extremely low across Siberia, which set the stage for thawing breezes to blow offshore toward the Arctic Ocean’s ice pack. This followed a freakishly warm winter – part of last winter’s strong La Nina event – over Greenland and eastern Canada, which left that typically frigid locale almost devoid of sea ice last season.
An Insight Into Psychic Cultures
The word psychic is a Greek word that means one who can see into the future. It therefore follows that Greeks were among the first people among who psychic cultures existed. Modern science has called their improved perception ability extra sensory perception (ESP) rather than use the explanation of magic that was common among these early psychic cultures. Various performers to influence the world physically through telekinetic powers have used these abilities. Psychics have also featured greatly in fiction movies a fact that has made many people dismiss them as fictional stories.
