Diky tani Arktidy muze RUsko dodavat do Ciny ropu severni cestou. Zacaly minuly tyden. Hura!

Last week saw Russia’s Gazprom Neft, the country’s third biggest oil company by output and the oil arm of state gas giant Gazprom, ship its first cargo of oil produced in the Arctic to China via the Northern Sea Route (NSR). This shipment East adds to its existing Western exports via the NSR to Europe. According to Gazprom Neft, it took 47 days to deliver a full cargo of 144,000 tonnes of sweet, light Novy Port oil from the Yamal peninsula developments to the Chinese port of Yantai on the Bohai Sea, from Russia's north-western city of Murmansk. “Successful experience in the sale of Arctic oil in the European market and an in-depth insight of Asia-Pacific markets allow Gazprom Neft to offer Novy Port oil with a unique year-round logistics scheme to Asian partners,” said Gazprom Neft’s deputy director general for logistics, processing and sales, Anatoly Cherner, last week.

V US v oblastech ohrozenych aktivni hurikanovou sezonou prudce roste nakazenych koronavirem

Hurricane-prone states are experiencing some of the nation’s sharpest increases in COVID-19 infections, raising fears that a major storm will have deadly consequences if people in its path refuse to evacuate to avoid contagion.
The number of infections nationwide has more than doubled since the start of hurricane season on June 1, passing 3.8 million yesterday.
The increase has been especially dramatic in Southeastern states on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, federal data shows, leaving hospitals strained and people potentially wary of finding shelter during a hurricane or staying with friends or relatives.
A surge in COVID-19 cases also could complicate hurricane recovery by prompting the Federal Emergency Management Agency to avoid sending disaster relief workers into pandemic hot spots.

Klimatická zmena
V roku 2020 bola priemerná teplota povrchu oceánov zatiaľ rekordne teplá v 5 mesiacoch zo šiestich na severnej pologuli, len v Januári bola 2. najvyššia (po Januári 2016). Neprekvapuje teda, že za 1. polrok 2020 je priemerná teplota povrchu oceánov na severnej pologuli výrazne najvyššia od roku 1850 (keď začali systematické merania). Na južnej pologuli je situácia trochu odlišná, ako vidíme z priloženého grafu. Je celkom zrejmé, že priemerná teplota povrchu oceánov je ovplyvnená javmi ElNiňo a LaNiňa (tu je to reprezentované 3-mesačnými priemermi Oceánického Niňo Indexu - ONI). Od roku 2003 ale sledujeme výrazný ročný chod odchýlok priemernej teploty oceánov na severnej pologuli a od roku 2016 menej výrazný aj na južnej pologuli, čo je neklamný dôkaz vplyvu globálnej klimatickej zmeny na teplotné pomery polárnych oblastí.

The first active leak of methane from the sea floor in Antarctica has been revealed by scientists.
The researchers also found microbes that normally consume the potent greenhouse gas before it reaches the atmosphere had only arrived in small numbers after five years, allowing the gas to escape.
Vast quantities of methane are thought to be stored under the sea floor around Antarctica. The gas could start to leak as the climate crisis warms the oceans, a prospect the researchers said was “incredibly concerning”.
The reason for the emergence of the new seep remains a mystery, but it is probably not global heating, as the Ross Sea where it was found has yet to warm significantly. The research also has significance for climate models, which currently do not account for a delay in the microbial consumption of escaping methane.

LINKOS: táta popisoval, že u Žulové nebo někde u ní byla dlouhá alej starých líp podél silnice. Všechny šly dolů, podle pařezů vypadaly v dobré formě a vrcholem kryplismu v tomhle státě bylo, že asi 200m od silnice byla boží muka a u ní dvě lípy, ty šli k zemi taky a plynule se pokračovalo.
