Dear Colleagues, Whether or not you're able to attend Anton's presentation and discussion, I highly recommend viewing Anni Pokela's introduction in the first 30 minutes of the Arctic Momentum conference here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z-OwNu_8Uo&t=1333s The Arctic Momentum movement and Anni's statement (that in addition to Anton's and the Momentum group's organizing efforts - inspired I believe by the June 6, 2023, CCRC Workshop on Albedo Enhancement and Refreezing the Arctic initiated by Robert Tulip - also benefited from the input of Daleanne Bourjaily and others) is in IMO brilliant!
