Manhattan-Sized Ice Chunk Breaks Off Glacier, Sends Message to Climate Change Skeptics
2014-02-03 23:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Weather Channel: When the documentary Chasing Ice came out in 2012, it included footage of the largest glacier calving event ever caught on film. Two years later, the filmmakers hope to use that monumental capture as visual proof of climate change. In March they begin a several-month tour, stopping in the Congressional districts of climate-change denying legislators. The idea is to shift the debate back from politics to science, to determine what happens when people can actually see rather than just hear about...

Summit County: Dwindling sea ice spells trouble for polar bears and walrus colonies, but some other animals are benefiting from global warming at least for now. Warming temperatures have resulted in more high quality habitat for geese along the Arctic coast of Alaska, according to a U.S. Geological Survey study. The research focused on black brant geese that migrate by the thousands each summer to the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska to undergo their wing molt, during which time the birds are flightless...

Winter brings many dangers for motorists, with one of the most threatening being slippery and hard-to-spot black ice. Black ice is tricky. It hides in shade and shadows, causing spin-outs before drivers know what hit them. Black ice forms when rain hits freezing cold pavement. If sleet or freezing rain is in the forecast, be extra careful on the road. If there's been significant snow melt during the day, black ice can form at night when temperatures drop. Dry pavement with shiny patches are sure signs of black ice. READ MOREThe Article Black Ice: How to Spot This Winter Driving Danger appeared first on Automotive Digest.

Nasa technology to reveal ice melting impact on climate
2014-01-30 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Indo-Asian News Service: A new laser-based technology from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) holds promise to tell how the melting of earth's frozen regions may affect our climate. This opens a new vista for researchers to better track the melting or growth of ice sheets, glaciers and sea ice. A high-altitude aircraft from Nasa flew over the icy Arctic ocean and the snow-covered terrain of Greenland recently. Aboard that aircraft flew the Multiple Altimeter Beam Experimental Lidar, or MABEL,...
