Scientists hope 2,000-year-old ice holds clues to climate change
2014-05-10 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Polar scientists who retrieved ice samples from the Antarctic say they are on the verge of unlocking 2,000 years of climate records offering clues to how global warming will affect our future. An international team traveled to Antarctica's Aurora Basin in a five-week project that began last December, to drill for ice samples needed to bridge a gap in knowledge of temperature changes over the last 20 centuries. Using the latest technology to probe the secrets of the past, the scientists hope...
Antarctic Ice 'Cork' Melting Could Lead to Unstoppable Sea Rise
2014-05-10 09:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: If a relatively small chunk of ice currently plugging the edge of an ice sheet in Antarctica were to melt, it could release massive amounts of ice into the ocean that would significantly increase global sea level for the next 10,000 years, according to a new report. The ice plug sits on a ridge beneath the East Antarctic Ice Shelf in a region called the Wilkes Basin that has previously been overlooked in sea level projections, because it has appeared to be stable compared to regions of the West...

Climate change not fully to blame for melting sea ice: Study
2014-05-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CTV: A newly published paper says climate change caused by humans could be responsible for as little as half the wholesale melting of sea ice in the Canadian Arctic and Greenland that has amazed and alarmed scientists. The finding, published in Nature magazine, should caution those attempting to turn global theories into regional predictions, said co-author Mike Wallace of the University of Washington. "Whenever you start to look at local climate trends, you have to look at the internal variability...
Melting East Antarctica ice could mean thousands of years of unstoppable sea level rises
2014-05-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science 2.0: The melting of a rather small ice volume on East Antarctica's shore could trigger a persistent ice discharge into the ocean, resulting in unstoppable sea-level rise for thousands of years to come, according to computer simulations of the Antarctic ice flow by scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). They detail their estimates in Nature Climate Change. "East Antarctica's Wilkes Basin is like a bottle on a slant," says lead-author Matthias Mengel, "once uncorked, it...
