Climate change slowing down, not speeding up, movement of large Arctic rivers: study | Globalnews.ca

They found migration rates of these rivers, rather than increasing, decreased overall by about 20 per cent between 1972 and 2020.“My reaction was ‘Oh boy, it’s going to be hard to convince people about this,’” lead author Alessandro Ielpi said of the findings.“It’s potentially a disruptive idea. It may potentially reshape the way we think about northern environments and the way they are adapting to the changing climate.

Ielpi, an assistant professor in the Department of Earth, Environmental and Geographic Sciences at the University of British Columbia Okanagan, said it has been “almost a core belief” among the scientific community that rising temperatures and permafrost thaw would speed up the rate that rivers change position.

Think about trying to dig a hole in the ground that is frozen. Of course, you’ll spend more energy and it’s going to be more demanding than digging or eroding soil that is not frozen,” he explained. “If the temperature goes up and the frozen ground is progressively melting, the reverse would have found less resistance to erosion.”Scientists have theories about why the migration of these rivers has instead slowed over the past five decades — chiefly Arctic greening.While increasing temperatures and moisture in the Arctic have resulted in permafrost thaw, they have also led to shrubification, where shrubs are growing thicker and taller in areas that were once barren or sparsely vegetated.

Ielpi said the increased vegetation is causing riverbanks to be more stable and less susceptible to erosion, and the plants are also reducing surface run-off by using water.

Thank god all my taxes have fixed the problem , I knew it wasn’t just a load of shit

Well, yeah, it's slowing down. Our taxes are responsible.

Could have more to to do where the earth waters flow both north and south.

Fake climate news and bs ! Slowing down and speeding up you people make me sick ! Why aren’t you reporting about Nordstrom pipeline and natural disaster and affect in the environment that US blew up! How about investigate this ?

Well that's ... inconvenient. GretaThunberg

Can I pay more taxes?

Tabernac!

Shocking news. But this wasn’t reviewed by the liberal party.

Another day of bizarre world at Global News, y'all backing down or just coming to your senses?

Then scrap the carbon tax, so Canadians can afford to live!!!

So, rising temperatures increase plant growth which in turn absorbs more co2...got it.

🖕🏼

And the Global Warming Cult keeps on howling!

Well Greta isn't going to be happy about this

More Arctic ice is created in the winter than is lost during the summer. But that doesn't stop media from reporting just the summers.

We live on this cyclic Rock, that is cycling around the cyclic solar system, which is cycling around this cyclic Galaxy, in the ever-expanding universe! We are pretty arrogant if we think that we are affecting the cycles!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 why, because mother earth is vaccinated too?

Thanks to the banning of grocery bags, straws, and plastic cutlery. We don’t need those trees that are now used for paper straws, and bags and cutlery.

Climate cult propaganda.

Climate change slowing down, not speeding up, movement of large Arctic rivers: studyScientists have long believed that rapid warming in the Arctic would cause river channels to move faster, but a new study has found the opposite may be true for large, winding rivers in the region. It's almost like 'climate change scientists' don't know what they are talking about and are bad at making predictions. Man made climate change isn't real. The climate has always changed and our hubris will just kill people. Mouth breathers gonna stop reading the headline at 'Climate change slowing down' and think that's what it's saying.

Do better . Enough of this crap. We lost the Bering Land Bridge because of rising sea levels due to man made global warming too.
