Researchers Show Direct Observation of Ice Particles Due to Earth's Rapid Warming

Image
The researchers described direct observations of the particle size of ice nucleation in the middle Arctic throughout the cycle of sea ice development and decline. According to their findings, these particles have distinct seasons, with lower concentrations in winter and spring and higher concentrations during summer melting local flora. The clouds that cover the Earth’s surface and the tiny aerosols in the air known as ice core particles that initiate the formation of ice in these clouds are important contributors to climate change. Climate is strongly influenced by this interaction of heat, cloud cover and ice nucleation. Earth is heating up faster (Photo: Alberto Restifo/Unsplash) But those important ice-forming aerosols, which can be mineral dust, microorganisms, or ocean spray, are almost never investigated in the Arctic, where they are most needed because their effects are little understood, and few scientists have traveled that far north, as per ScienceDaily. However, scient...

AFL Great cancels visit to Tasmania due to 'continued harassment' of manager

AFL legend Nicky Winmar has canceled his NAIDOC week’s visit to northwestern Tasmania after “continued harassment” of his controversial manager, Ricky Nixon. Key points: A campaign has been launched against Mr Nixon’s appearance, highlighting his relationship with a 17-year-old girl in 2010 that cost him his AFL player agent accreditation. The local club president said Nixon was a “colorful character” who “took the punishment on the chin” for his past mistakes. Mr Nixon holds a Work with Vulnerable Person card equivalent to Victoria Winmar will host a soccer clinic in Smithton on Friday and present the Indigenous designed soccer jumpers to Circular Head Saints ahead of Saturday’s NAIDOC Round game. But the visit was canceled on Thursday evening, with Circular Head Aboriginal Corporation blaming it for “false and misguided criticism” targeted at Nixon. Nixon said “the actions of an individual at Smithton” meant...
