Berry "cool" and revealing info.
Yes, I agree. Disappearing permafrost is another indication of Big Island warming, like the farmers in Waimea that I've talked to who now plant warmer weather varieties of vegetables.
Some say SA is just a tabloid these days
Since it's generally considered a good source of information, who specifically says it's "just a tabloid?"
IMO / .02, i think it boost the anti TMT folks.
Why?
I would think that if Mauna Kea is changing, the permafrost is disappearing, it shows the mauna is changing and continues to change. That it will not always remain the same whether the change is a loss of permafrost or Native Hawaiians quarrying adze from the mountain for many years, leaving the mauna not sacred but scarred in that area. It's unfortunate a decommissioning of the quarry was never attempted so the mountain might return closer to it's natural state.
Perhaps the observatories are part of that change in the 21st century as the mauna, and humans continue to transform ourselves and the world around us. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the hotter.
