Global Warming: Melting Greenland ice linked to Arctic amplification
2016-06-12 07:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
DNA: The Greenland ice sheet holds enough ice that it could raise the average global sea level by about 7 metres if it were to melt entirely. Scientists have found the first evidence that links melting ice in Greenland to Arctic amplification - faster warming of the Arctic compared to the rest of the Northern Hemisphere as sea ice disappears. The findings show that the predicted effects of Arctic amplification, as described in previous studies, occurred over northern Greenland during summer last...

That 70s myth: Did climate science really call for a coming ice age?

Ars Technica: One of the undying, zombie-like arguments against climate change is that you cant trust climate scientists because they started out making doom and gloom claims about global cooling in the 1970s. But this, along with many other things comedian Dennis Miller has said on late night talk shows, neednt be taken seriously. By the time fears of an ice age reached the public's attention, there was a long history of concerns about warming. The idea that burning fossil fuels would warm the planet can...

The big melt: Arctic sea ice hits record lows
2016-06-09 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: It was a warm spring for Arctic sea ice, with sea ice extents reaching record low levels in January, February, and April. Now, scientists say that May beat previous ice cover low records by a huge amount. Last month, the Arctic averaged twelve million square kilometers of sea ice. The previous record low, set in 2004, was more than half a million square kilometers greater than this years record. In other words, this Mays Arctic ice cover was smaller than the previously set record by an area...
