As Arctic Ocean ice disappears, the global climate impacts intensify

Yale Environment 360: The news last week that summer ice covering the Arctic Ocean was tied for the second-lowest extent on record is a sobering reminder that the planet is swiftly heading toward a largely ice-free Arctic in the warmer months, possibly as early as 2020. Peter Wadhams, professor emeritus of ocean physics at Cambridge University, is a sea ice specialist with 46 years of research on sea ice and ocean processes in the Arctic and Antarctic. In more than 50 expeditions to both polar regions, he has worked...

Melting Greenland ice threatens to expose Cold War waste
2016-09-26 10:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: A snow-covered former US army base in Greenland -- dubbed "a city under ice" -- could leak pollutants into the environment as the climate changes, raising difficult questions over who is responsible for a clean-up. In 1959, US army engineers began constructing a futuristic project in northwestern Greenland that might as well have been lifted from a Cold War spy movie. A network of tunnels under the snow contained everything from research facilities to a hospital, a cinema and a church -- all powered...
Consequences of Climate Change: Polar Bear Population Shrinking Due to Arctic Sea Ice Melt
2016-09-26 04:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Alert! The melting sea ice in the Arctic is leaving polar bear hungry and their population dwindling in numbers. According to a report from Earth Sky, polar bears have taken the most drastic hit from the melting Arctic sea ice due to climate change. Polar bears mainly get their fat and nutrients from eating seals, and the ice in the Arctic has greatly helped the slow-moving bears to catch the much-faster seals by ambushing the latter through the ice. However, as the Arctic sea ice continues...
