Wow—

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( #NOAA )called out a rapidly warming Arctic in December of last year.

“This year's report demonstrates the urgent need for adaptation as climate conditions quickly change.”

-and-

The arctic tundra is “now emitting more carbon that it stores... yet one more sign... of the consequences of inadequately reducing fossil fuel pollution.”

"This year's report demonstrates the urgent need for adaptation as climate conditions quickly change," said Twila Moon, lead editor of the Arctic Report Card and deputy lead scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center. "Indigenous Knowledge and community-led research programs can inform successful responses to rapid Arctic changes."

"Our observations now show that the Arctic tundra, which is experiencing warming and increased wildfire, is now emitting more carbon that it stores, which will worsen climate change impacts," said NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad, Ph.D. "This is yet one more sign, predicted by scientists, of the consequences of inadequately reducing fossil fuel pollution."
