2013 wintertime Arctic sea ice maximum fifth lowest on record
2013-04-03 22:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Last September, at the end of the northern hemisphere summer, the Arctic Ocean's icy cover shrank to its lowest extent on record, continuing a long-term trend and diminishing to about half the size of the average summertime extent from 1979 to 2000. During the cold and dark of Arctic winter, sea ice refreezes and achieves its maximum extent, usually in late February or early March. According to a NASA analysis, this year the annual maximum extent was reached on Feb. 28 and it was the fifth lowest...

Thin clouds drove Greenland's record-breaking 2012 ice melt
2013-04-03 20:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: If the sheet of ice covering Greenland were to melt in its entirety tomorrow, global sea levels would rise by 24 feet. Three million cubic kilometers of ice won't wash into the ocean overnight, but researchers have been tracking increasing melt rates since at least 1979. Last summer, however, the melt was so large that similar events show up in ice core records only once every 150 years or so over the last four millennia. "In July 2012, a historically rare period of extended surface melting...
Antarctic ice grows as climate warms
2013-04-03 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: Call it a tale of two poles. While sea ice in the Arctic is vanishing fast, the extent of Antarctic ice has increased. Good explanations for the growth of ice in the Southern Ocean have been hard to find, but now the problem may have been cracked. Counter-intuitively, it seems global warming may be cooling southern surface waters. Nobody predicted that the fate of ice at each pole would take such different paths in just 30 years, with Arctic sea ice dropping more than 15 per cent, even as Antarctic...

Global warming has INCREASED ice around Antarctica
2013-04-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Daily Mail: Climate change experts have been trying for years to explain why the sea ice in Antarctica is expanding. Now scientists claim to have found the answer -- global warming. They believe the paradoxical shift is caused by water melting from beneath the Antarctic ice shelves and re-freezing back on the surface.
