Arctic needs protection from resource rush as ice melts: U.N. body
2013-02-18 13:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The Arctic needs to be better protected from a rush for natural resources as melting ice makes mineral and energy exploration easier, the United Nations' Environment Programme (UNEP) said. The UNEP Year Book 2013 was released on Monday to accompany the opening of talks in Nairobi attended by environment ministers or senior officials from around 150 nations, aimed at making the world economy greener at a time of weak economic growth. "What we are seeing is that the melting of ice is prompting...

Canada: Climate change leaves hockey on thin ice

Montreal Gazette: Concordia University geography professor and climate-change researcher Damon Matthews has bad news for fans of pickup hockey -- there might not be any more outdoor rinks in southern Canada by 2050. Matthews and colleagues from McGill University published a study last year that discovered a significant decrease in the length of the skating season during the past half-century in Canada. The number of days that are cold enough to lay an extra layer of ice on the rink has decreased pretty much...

Thinning Ice Is Turning Arctic into an Algae Hotspot
2013-02-14 22:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Shrinking, thinning Arctic sea ice appears to be accelerating the growth of algae in polar waters, a new study finds, a development that could alter the region's ability to absorb carbon from the atmosphere. Scientists cruising central Arctic waters last summer aboard the research ship Polarstern were stunned to discover dense, shaggy deposits of the algae Melosira arctica clinging to the bottom of sea ice. The green color of water in a melt pond atop Arctic sea ice hints at the riotous growth...

Ice thaw could spell bad news for polar bears
2013-02-14 20:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A thaw of sea ice floating on the Arctic Ocean last year sent extra plant food to exotic creatures on the deep sea floor in a shift that might leave polar bears hungry at the surface, scientists said on Thursday. The study, using robot submarines down to 4,400 metres (14,400 ft) deep, could be a glimpse of radical changes for life in the sunless depths of the Arctic Ocean after ice thinned and shrank to cover a record low area in September 2012. Scientists found large amounts of algae growing...
