1. Accelerating Feedback loops, species loss

Thanks, I guess. The main thing which I came away with, though not always noted in this video, is that Arctic heating is accelerating faster than most models and feedback loops are stronger towards a steeper heat increase.

Species well-known to need Arctic Ice, especially pack ice, will disappear as there is noway they can adapt this fast: Polar bear, Walrus, Ivory Gull, Ross's Gull and seal species. All are huge losses no matter what.
