Greenlands Ice Melt Breaks Record, Starting Nearly Two Months Early
2016-04-13 15:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Greenlands melt season kicked off a month and a half early this year, scientists at the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) reported. Greenlands melt season typically runs from June until September, but almost 12 percent of Greenlands ice sheet was melting as of Monday, which scientists say is unprecedented. We had to check that our models were still working properly, said Peter Langen, a climate scientist at DMI. Areas of Greenland recorded temperatures this month that would have...

Scientists Are Watching in Horror as Ice Collapses

National Geographic: The soldiers at Matienzo Base in Antarctica made an odd discovery in January 1995-an antique dog sled, unlike any they had ever seen, bound together by leather straps, with a label reading "Made in England." Matienzo was an Argentine research base on a small island 30 miles off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. It was surrounded by a vast plain of white-a slab of glacial ice, 700 feet (215 meters) thick, that floated on the ocean. That floating slab, called Larsen A Ice Shelf, covered an area...

The terrifying math of melting ice sheets
2016-04-10 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Living On Earth: Recent studies of the physics of ice sheets suggests that we may be vastly underestimating how fast the West Antarctic ice sheet is melting because of global warming. Penn State Climate Scientist Michael Mann tells host Steve Curwood that combined with the melting from other glaciers around the world, seas could rise over six feet by 2100, putting many coastal cities underwater. Transcript CURWOOD: From the Jennifer and Ted Stanley studios at the University of Massachusetts Boston and PRI,...

How melting ice sheets are changing the way the Earth moves on its axis video explainer
2016-04-09 13:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Global warming is changing the way the Earth moves on its polar axis. A new Nasa study says that Melting ice sheets are affecting the distribution of weight on Earth, which is causing both the North Pole and the wobble, which is called polar motion, to change course. Scientists say the polar motion shift is harmless, but that it highlights the impact humans are having on the planet
