Arctic ice grows darker and less reflective
2013-08-06 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: Arctic ice is losing its reflective sheen. It's common knowledge that each summer, more and more of the ice melts leaving the dark waters of the ocean uncovered a process that accelerates global warming by reducing the amount of solar radiation reflected back into space. Now it turns out that the surviving sea ice is also becoming darker and less reflective. For the first time, a detailed analysis of 30 years of satellite data for the Arctic Ocean has quantified how much the albedo, or reflectivity,...

As Antarctic sea ice melts, seaweed smothers seafloor
2013-08-06 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Live Science: Seaweed could smother polar underwater ecosystems as melting sea ice exposes the seafloor to more sunlight, new research shows. Animals that dwell on the seafloor of the Arctic and Antarctic spend most of their lives in total darkness: Sea ice blocks rays during the spring and early summer, and the sun sets completely in the winter. Late summer and early fall when the ocean warms up enough to thaw the ice often marks the only time these critters see light. But as climate change causes sea ice...

Grist: Like a towheaded baby whose golden curls inevitably turn mousy brown at exactly the same age he or she starts giving a crap about hair color, our planet is going darker on top as it ages. Thats bad news for a couple of reasons first, because its happening as a result of global warming, and second, because it will make global warming worse. Scientists analyzed 30 years of data and discovered that the Arctic is losing some of its reflectivity i.e., its getting darker. Thats because of thinning...
