2013-08-01 15:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: The Arctic lake has disappeared, leaving behind ice and clouds in the region. The pool of water drained through cracks in the underlying ice July, 29. Researchers at UW Applied Physics Laboratory said that ice melts at the Arctic every summer. "Every summer when the sun melts the surface the water has to go someplace, so it accumulates in these ponds. This doesn't look particularly extreme," said Jamie Morison, a polar scientist at the UW Applied Physics Laboratory and principal investigator since...

MIT successfully implants false memories, may explain why we remember things that didnt happen
2013-07-26 13:10:07| Extremetech
Researchers at MIT have implanted false memories into the brains of mice, causing them to be fearful of an event that didn't actually occur. This is a very important study that demonstrates just how unreliable memories can be, and goes a long way to explaining why humans regularly recall things that didn't actually happen -- such as alien abductions, or when giving eyewitness testimony that they believe to be true, but is actually a false memory.

Gimme swelter: we explain the UK and US heatwaves
2013-07-20 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: After the cold, the heat. High pressure spreading across the UK from Siberia last spring brought record cold temperatures. Now more high pressure, this time from the tropical Atlantic, is bringing a sweltering heatwave. These high-pressure zones are blocking the jet stream which usually brings the country's normal changeable weather. "Blocking highs" are an increasing theme of North American weather reports too, bringing concern of a long-term shift. New Scientist looks at the issues. What's going...
