Greenland's sponge-like snow can no longer absorb meltwater, adding sea level rise
2016-01-11 11:34:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Today: People already know that global warming triggered by man-made climate change is causing massive ice sheets in Greenland to melt, which in turn leads to the alarming rise of global sea levels. Even worse than that, a team of international scientists recently found out that climate change has been hurting the world's biggest island more than previously imagined. In their findings published last week on the scientific journal "Nature," the research team revealed that aside from melting ice sheets,...
NASA to study how plants and oceans absorb carbon

Jagran Post: rowing carbon emissions have become a concern for ecologists across the world and if these ecosystems someday stop absorbing carbon, the effects of climate change could be much more severe, scientists said. NASA estimates that nearly half of the carbon emitted by humans is absorbed through these natural land and marine processes. But the agency is worried that it may change. As the carbon in the atmosphere warms up the climate, the heat may alter how marine and land ecosystem absorb carbon, The...

Alaskan boreal forest fires release more carbon than trees can absorb
2015-10-19 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A new analysis of fire activity in Alaska's Yukon Flats finds that so many forest fires are occurring there that the area has become a net exporter of carbon to the atmosphere. This is worrisome, the researchers say, because arctic and subarctic boreal forests like those of the Yukon Flats contain roughly one-third of Earth's terrestrial carbon stores. The research is reported in the journal Nature Climate Change. Alaska fire records go back only to 1939, and scientists often assume that present-day...
