Antarctica is Sliding Sideways Due to Ice Loss
2013-12-11 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Billions of tons of ice being lost in West Antarctica each year is causing the region to be pushed sideways by sturdier bedrock in the East Antarctica region. Satellite measurements of the continent reveal that the West Antarctic bedrock is being pushed sideways at a rate of up to 12 millimeters (about 0.5 inches) each year, according to scientists from The Ohio State University, who are presenting their work this week at the 46th Annual Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco....

Melting Arctic sea ice could be altering jet stream
2013-12-11 12:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ars Technica: The rapidly warming Arctic isnt noteworthy only for its own sake. Changes there affect the rest of the planet in a number of ways. Recently, there has been a lot of interest in whether the dwindling Arctic summer sea ice could be weirding the weather in the mid-latitudes. There have been a number of recent summer extremes--Russias hellish summer in 2010, the drought in the US last summer, a very wet 2011 in Korea and Japan, plus a streak of soggy summers in the UK. There have been suggestions...
Cold, ice grip U.S. as more snow blanket East

Reuters: A deadly winter storm kept a tight grip on much of the United States on Monday as cold, snow and ice spread across the East Coast, snarling traffic and knocking out power to thousands. As much as 5 inches of snow were forecast for Monday night into Tuesday and much of the area from Virginia to coastal New England were under winter weather advisories, the National Weather Service (NWS) said in a forecast. Bitter Arctic air in the upper Great Plains and Rocky Mountains is expected to persist...
US Navy Predicts Summer Ice Free Arctic by 2016
2013-12-09 16:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: An ongoing US Department of Energy-backed research project led by a US Navy scientist predicts that the Arctic could lose its summer sea ice cover as early as 2016 - 84 years ahead of conventional model projections. The project, based out of the US Naval Postgraduate School's Department of Oceanography, uses complex modelling techniques that make its projections more accurate than others. A paper by principal investigator Professor Wieslaw Maslowski in the Annual Review of Earth and Planetary...
New study says Arctic ice melt and extreme weather conditions linked
2013-12-09 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
International Business Times: The new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, warned of increasingly extreme weather across "much of North America and Eurasia where billions of people will be affected, Reuters reported. The new findings have further roiled a debate on the impact of global warming on climate change, as international scientists and studies differ significantly on whether human-caused global warming is responsible for climate change or not. "The study contributes to a growing body of evidence...
