Warm and buttery: Greenland's ice flow speeding up
2013-07-18 16:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Greenland's massive ice sheet is accelerating its slide toward the ocean because bigger surface melts in recent years are softening the interior of the ice like a stick of butter, a new study finds. For more than a decade, scientists have reported rapid melting and shrinking at many of Greenland's outlet glaciers, which snake into the ocean. Studies suggest warmer ocean water and rising atmospheric temperatures contribute to the melting ice. The new study finds the interior ice sheet also speeded...

Why Predicting Sea Ice Cover Is So Difficult
2013-07-16 22:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: Predicting Mother Nature is never an exact science. Weather forecasters can get it wrong, leaving people dressed for a rainy day high and dry. And the further out researchers try to predict things like air temperature or sea ice cover, the more uncertainty there is. But knowing how Earth's climate will react to natural and human-induced changes is important for governments and industry. elated: "As Arctic Ice Melts, Rush Is on for Shipping Lanes, More.") Perhaps nowhere are the stakes as high...
Earth losing 300bn tonnes of ice every year
2013-07-16 09:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Times of India: A satellite has detected that 300 billion tonnes of ice is being lost every year from the Antarctic and Greenland glaciers, dramatically increasing sea levels around the world. The satellite that detected the melting is Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE). British scientists have been using it since 2002 to detect tiny variations in Earth's gravity field resulting from changes in mass distribution, including movement of ice into the oceans. Using these changes in gravity, the state...
