    1. Noch nie gab es in einem arktischen Winter so wenig mehr als wie in diesem Jahr. Die Tats Interview dazu, den Klimaforscher Raphael Köhler. Zurzeit geht das arktische Mehrheit mehr als Prodikade um ca. 2,5% zurück. Der Rückgang des Meeraises verstärkt die an der Akt des Unterhins. Schnelle Erwärmung Sie führt zu Veränderungen des Jet Streams und ist damit auch an der Zunahme von Extremwetterereignissen in Europa beteiligt. Anders als früher nimmt inzwischen auch das antarktische Mehr-Eis-Ab. Die Gründe für diesen Vorgang sind noch nicht geklärt. https://taz.de/Physiker-ueber-Temperaturen-in-der-Arktis/!6079629/

    1. こうして電磁気的に引きつけられた原子同士の分子内結合を記述する為のパラメータとして、電気陰性度という尺度がある。 これは原子がどの程度原子外にある電子を引きつけるかを示す尺度である。結合した2つの原子の電気陰性度に極端な差異がある場合は、電気陰性度が大きい原子の方に最外殻電子が完全に移動してしまう。この状態における分子内結合をイオン結合という[6]。 それとは逆に両者の電気陰性度が完全に釣り合っているときは、最外殻電子を2つの原子で「共有」する状態になる。この状態を非極性共有結合という[6]。電気陰性度が両者の中間にある場合は、最外殻電子を一方の原子にやや引きつけた「極性」のある共有状態になる。この状態を極性共有結合という[6]。非極性または極性の共有結合の事を共有結合という。

    1. 𝑟=−𝑥2 + 𝑦2‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√r=−x2 + y2r = -\sqrt{x^2 ~+~ y^2} (i.e. 𝑟rr is negative)

      Given that r is a polar coordinate, r cannot be negative, otherwise it would mean that the polar coordinate system would not be orthogonal, which it is.

    2. convention that 𝑟rr can be negative, by defining (−𝑟,𝜃)=(𝑟,𝜃+180∘)(−r,θ)=(r,θ+180∘)(-r,\theta) = (r,\theta + 180^\circ) for any angle 𝜃θ

      One cannot adopt a convention that contradicts the definition of "coordinates" and the fact that for orthogonal coordinate systems each coordinate do not depend on any other coordinate, otherwise, it would mean that the coordinate system is not orthogonal.

      For this reason, negative r is not a coordinate of a polar coordinate systems, since it needs pi in the angle coordinate, expressed as -r = (r, pi) and that the polar coordinate system is an orthogonal coordinate system.

      Calling -r a coordinate is a travesty.

Damit können erstmals die Auswirkungen von Emissionen auf das Überleben einer einzelnen Art bestimmt werden, so dass es auch möglich ist, aufgrund von Bestimmungen zum Artenschutz wie den Endangered Species Act Emissionsminderungen zu fordern. https://www.repubblica.it/green-and-blue/2023/09/14/news/orsi_polari_emissioni_gas_serra_rischio_estinzione-414364878/

    1. Google and Microsoft are in an arms race to create something that could not only destroy the information commons, but potentially all of humanity. Both they and the fish farmers are caught in what’s called a multi-polar trap. A race-to-the bottom situation in which, even though individual actors might have the best of intentions, the incentive structures mean that everyone ends up worse off, and the commons is damaged or destroyed in the process.

      Multi-polar trap

    2. We might call on a halt to research, or ask for coordination around ethics, but it’s a tall order. It just takes one actor not to play (to not turn off their metaphorical fish filter), and everyone else is forced into the multi-polar trap.

      AI is a multi-polar trap

    1. Yet my father, driven to preserve our way of life, found his answer for resistance in a meeting that would be taking place in the Polar Ural Mountains”

      The Polar Ural Mountains and subsequent Mandalada resistance is an accurate and true event in the history of the Nenet community. In 1943, Soviet authorities from the Arkhandel’skaia Oblast were on their way to collect herders for reprimanding herders who sought to oppose the policies of the Union. A skirmish broke out upon their arrival, albeit brief, and the eventual surrendering of the Nenets resulted in the arrest and deportation to political prisoner camps of 36 individuals. Only two would return to camp.

      This historical event of cultural resistance would burn in the memories of Nenets for years to come, and recently became available to anthropologists and researchers through an oral history recounting by several primary sources to the event.

      For a full reading of the events recounted, read the source below.

    1. Arctic Circle

      The Region that lies beyond the 66.5 degree latitudinal line is widely accepted as the Arctic Circle. However, there are other indicators of an arctic region such as 10 degree celsius as the maximum air temperature, tundra to taiga biomes, or continuous permafrost. Despite these different labeling standards the Arctic Circle encompasses roughly 15% of the earths land area and 5% of the world ocean. Some areas in this region can go upwards of 130 days with out experiencing a sunrise. This period of time is known as a Polar Night, but is only experienced at latitudes north of 72degrees. Rather than Polar Night, much of the Arctic Circle experiences an extremely long twilight due to the gentle angle at which the sun rises and sets. As technology and globalization has improved, exploration in the Arctic Circle has increased substantially. The Arctic is an incredible asset to scientific researchers as we begin to increase our understanding of the region. Its variation in natural landscapes and ecosystems provide researchers with an extremely biodiverse system to study. This region is also home to an abundance of rich raw materials including gold and natural gas. As industrial interest in this region increase, there will also be an increased need for actors with stake in the region to communicate properly. With almost 30 different territories having claims in the Arctic and an estimated 200 million indigenous peoples living in the region, there are constant socioeconomic and political issues that need to be resolved.

Box 5.1, Figure 1 illustrates the polar amplification phenomenon for three different periods of the Earth’s climate history using tem-perature reconstructions from natural archives and climate model simulations for: (i) the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum (EECO, 54 to 48 Ma) characterised by CO2 concentrations of 1000 to 2000 ppm (Section 5.2.2.2) and the absence of continental ice sheets; (ii) the mid-Pliocene Warm Period (MPWP, 3.3 to 3.0 Ma), characterized by CO2 concentrations in the range of 350 to 450 ppm (Section 5.2.2.2) and reduced Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets compared to today (see Section 5.6.1), (iii) the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 21 to 19 ka), characterized by CO2 concentrations around 200 ppm and large continental ice sheets covering northern Europe and North America.
