Climate Science (Freshwater methane): A new study highlights that nearly half of atmospheric methane can come from microbes in lakes, rivers and wetlands—and that the “brake” that normally limits emissions may weaken as the world warms. Climate Policy (Carbon removal lag): Researchers warn carbon dioxide removal is moving too slowly, with current efforts still far below what’s needed to close the climate gap. Oceans & Weather (Atlantic “cold blob”): A “cold blob” in the North Atlantic is linked to weakening Atlantic currents, raising concerns for long-term impacts on climate and conditions around Greenland, Iceland and northern Europe. Glacier Loss in Focus (Iceland documentary): Sara Dosa’s “Time and Water” is being reviewed as a deeply personal meditation on Iceland’s disappearing glaciers, using family archives and poetry to frame climate change as a crisis of remembrance. Arctic Context (What “Arctic” means): A piece examines how the Arctic is defined differently across languages and policy, using Sweden’s new Arctic strategy as an example. Energy & Industry (Nalunaq processing): Amaroq says it has commissioned a flotation recovery circuit at the Nalunaq gold mine in Greenland, boosting expected gold recovery and production.
