European leaders blame sabotage as gas pours into Baltic from Nord Stream pipelines

Sabotage is the most likely cause of leaks in two Baltic Sea gas pipelines between Russia and Europe, European leaders have said, after seismologists reported explosions around the Nord Stream pipelines.

A Danish military flight over the leaks brought back striking images from the ruptures, including one showing an area of bubbling gas a kilometre wide on the sea’s surface.

The seismograph recorded near-silence until just after midnight GMT (2am local time), when there was a spike representing a tremor in the earth followed by a continuous hissing wave form. The pattern was repeated at 5pm GMT.

Amid the claims of sabotage, suspicion immediately turned to potential culprits – with fingers pointed at Russia, whose pipelines were hit, suggesting a further weaponisation of energy supplies to Europe in the midst of the conflict in Ukraine. Not least it was seen as a possible message about the vulnerability of other marine gas infrastructure.

As soon as methane in gas form raises from the surface of the sea into the atmosphere, it will massively contribute to the greenhouse effect.

What Hurricane Ian

Told Us About Climate Change & Our Future

One of the most visible consequences

of a warming world is an increase in the intensity

and frequency of extreme weather events.

Most have an associated human influence,

too, that doesn’t seem as if it will diminish soon.

As our climate warms, we’re experiencing stronger winds, higher storm surges, and record rainfalls during hurricane season— which is also why these storms are becoming more destructive and costly. Hurricanes — also sometimes called tropical cyclones — are susceptible to rising temperatures. That means they thrive in warm conditions.

Here’s why. Warmer oceans fuel storms. Evaporation intensifies as temperatures rise, and so does the transfer of heat from the oceans to the air. As the storms travel across warm oceans, they pull in more water vapor and heat. That means stronger wind, heavier rainfall and more flooding when the storms hit land.

The White House is keenly aware of the consequences of catastrophic weather. “until this past decade, the country rarely experienced a year with more than a handful of billion-dollar weather and climate disasters.”
