Arctic heat is coming our way. And fast!

The Arctic Ocean heat map seems to show that it is the Barents Sea that has warmed the Arctic, which has melted too much in summer, which has given us the new dominant weather patterns in the northern countries. The El Nino is most likely the disturbance of the long term La Nina drought pattern, with the likely mechanism for this disturbance being the Honga Tonga volcano - which changed the Trade Winds that drive Pacific heating. 

The question is, how did the Barents Sea get so warm? Answer that question, and you have cracked global warming (rather than global flooding and drought). Two separate systems.

I don't see Barents as cooling anytime soon - meaning we have reached the tipping point Climate has changed. It is not theoretical - and unless we ban gasoline in urban areas and for highway use - as well as concrete - we are stuck here. The operative question is how many people in the 110 degree weather zone have to die or flea before we do something like this?  

The first thing that will happen is the end to agriculture wherever the 110 degree heat has become the new normal. The only solution to staying there is indoor food plant growth and cloned meat and dairy (although goats and sheep may do good indoors. Growing pigs and cows that way has been a disaster.

Let's talk about a year on Mars....

A more rigorous test would be to put them on the space station for the time it would take to fly to Mars and then do the test on a similar facility on the Moon.  

The test that must be run before anything can happen is whether a spinning torus station with artificial gravity is even doable without inner ear issues. It would not be hard to do this test - unless they are afraid of how it would turn out.

If the gravity test works out, then a whole space station can be sent to Mars (all it takes is enough fuel to start from earth orbit and stop in Mars orbit - plus a health allowance for craft going to and from the Mars surface. By space station, I mean JPL in Martian orbit. Such a facility, which would a family colony mission, would be real exploration, not a project. If that works, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune await - although any orbital planetary station would need nuclear power.

Until we are sure about artificial gravity, nothing is possible. If it works, everything else is easy but the budget. Put NASA in the Defense line item rather than Commerce, Science and Justice and we can trade DoD spending for Space - it all goes to the same contractors anyway. Cutting defense without increasing space just means unemployment for the entire sector - it cannot be repurposed.
