Reception

Welcome to the Concerns for Arctic Ocean Survival VCC. We aim to facilitate the co-creation of knowledge that can support the presence of humans in the Arctic in ways that do not degrade the health of the Arctic Ocean. Understanding the reciprocity of humans and nature, we will maintain a dialog between science and society that ensures the availability of the best scientific knowledge for decisions that impact the future of the Arctic Ocean and ensure its sustainability as a healthy marine ecosystem.

[Aug 03, 2026] Hothouse Earth: arriving sooner than you think…: Julian Cribb writes in his latest blog: “Latest measurements, carefully analysed to exclude anomalies such as El Nino, reveal a planet cooking up at a steady 0.48 degrees per decade since 2015, in what is thought to be the most rapid heating event in all its geological history.” We are experiencing the most rapid heating event in Earth's billions of years long history! We have caused this event with a few hundred years of sole focus on unlimited growth using all the ancient solar energy accumulated by Earth's biosphere over more than 250 million years - just because we could! That is something to reflect on!
