Abstract:
Earlier studies estimated that the Arctic region is warming around twice as fast as the global average. Yet, recent studies have found this figure to be wrong by a huge margin (hugely underestimated). Actually, in the last 45 years, the Arctic region has warmed almost 4 times faster than the rest of the planet, while the South Pole is warming three times faster than the global rate. On the other hand, since 2016, the Atlantic Ocean especially its northern part, has warmed faster than other ocean basins in the top 100 meters of ocean. Nonetheless, the real reason for the rapid warming of these regions is because of the huge decline in the strength of Earth's magnetic field, and the enormous flow of thermal energy from Earth's interior into the upper layers. Back in 2014, data from Swarm (three specialized satellites) revealed that Earth's magnetic field has weakened 10 times faster than expected. It was astonishing data, totally unexpected and unexplained by the current model that relies on self-generating dynamo. Specifically, Swarm found the biggest decline in the strength of Earth's magnetic field around the Arctic regions, the North Atlantic Ocean and also within the South Atlantic, as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) shows.
