Climate Central: Following more than two decades of Arctic sea ice thinning and melting, an unusual event just weeks before the start of the spring melt season is providing visual proof of how vulnerable the ice pack really is. During the end of February and continuing into early March, large fractures in the sea ice were observed off the north coast of Alaska and Canada, from near Ellesmere Island in the Canadian Arctic to Barrow, Ala., the northernmost city in the U.S. The rapid climate change in the Arctic...

An energy coup for Japan: Flammable ice
2013-03-13 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Japan said Tuesday that it had extracted gas from offshore deposits of methane hydrate sometimes called flammable ice a breakthrough that officials and experts said could be a step toward tapping a promising but still little-understood energy source. The gas, whose extraction from the undersea hydrate reservoir was thought to be a world first, could provide an alternative source of energy to known oil and gas reserves. That could be crucial especially for Japan, which is the worlds biggest...
Japan warms to 'fire ice' potential

Financial Times: Japan has moved closer to unlocking a potential new energy source, after a research group extracted methane gas from frozen undersea deposits for the first time. Japanese officials hope the achievement, in a test conducted off Japan's central Pacific coast, will win their resource-poor nation a measure of energy independence. It was announced a day after the second anniversary of the Fukushima earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis that crippled the country's atomic power industry and exposed...

Asians Hunt Gas Treasure Locked in Ice Beneath Seabeds: Energy
2013-03-12 16:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Japan and India, Asias biggest energy consumers after China, are closer to unlocking natural gas deposits trapped in ice below the seabed that may prove bigger than the worlds known fossil-fuel reserves. Japan Oil, Gas & Metals National Corp. said yesterday it produced gas in the worlds first offshore test to extract the fuel from the frozen depths. A team including Oil & Natural Gas Corp. (ONGC), Indias biggest energy explorer, will drill off the east coast this year and try to produce the...
