Arctics Rapid Sea Ice Loss Threatens Wildlife
2013-08-11 14:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: The loss of Arctic sea ice is bad news for the Pacific walrus, and for polar bears: the walrus has further to swim to dig for clams on the sea floor, and the polar bear has less chance of catching seals. But the real problems begin at the base of the food chain. Since the end of the last century, more than two million square kilometers of sea ice have disappeared, and the loss of summer ice is accelerating. Researchers call this "a stunning loss of habitat for sea ice algae and sub-ice plankton...
Arctic ice grows darker and less reflective

New Scientist: SUMMER was once an important time for reflection in the Arctic. Perhaps not for much longer: the Arctic Ocean now reflects 15 per cent less sunlight than it did 30 years ago. Aku Riihelä of the Finnish Meteorological Institute and his colleagues looked at satellite measurements of reflectivity, or albedo, between 1982 and 2009 (Nature Climate Change, doi.org/nct). He says the darkening is partly due to thinning ice and the formation of fissures, and partly because in the warmer air, ponds of liquid...

AFP: The world lost record amounts of Arctic sea ice in 2012 and spewed out all-time high levels of greenhouse gases by burning fossil fuels, international climate scientists said Tuesday. Last year was among the top 10 on record for global land and surface temperature since modern data collection began, said the State of the Climate report issued annually by researchers in Britain and the United States. "The findings are striking," said Kathryn Sullivan, acting administrator of the National Oceanic and...
