Climate scientists step up search 'holy grail' million-year-old ice
2016-03-09 01:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The time capsule is ice that froze 1.5m years ago, capturing tiny bubbles of air, bringing a sample of the ancient atmosphere through time to the present day. There are already dozens of ice cores from Antarctica and Greenland. They are tubes of ice, sometimes several kilometres long, drilled from the ice sheet, which reveal a timeline of what the atmosphere was like over hundreds of millennia. Together those cores paint a detailed picture of the history of our atmosphere and climate. Theyve...

Greenland's ice is getting darker, increasing risk of melting
2016-03-03 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Greenland's snowy surface has been getting darker over the past two decades, absorbing more heat from the sun and increasing snow melt, a new study of satellite data shows. That trend is likely to continue, with the surface's reflectivity, or albedo, decreasing by as much as 10 percent by the end of the century, the study says. While soot blowing in from wildfires contributes to the problem, it hasn't been driving the change, the study finds. The real culprits are two feedback loops created by the...

Greenland's ice melt accelerating as surface darkens, raising sea levels
2016-03-03 19:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Greenlands vast ice sheet is in the grip of a dramatic feedback loop where the surface has been getting darker and less reflective of the sun, helping accelerate the melting of ice and fuelling sea level rises, new research has found. The snowy surface of Greenland started becoming significantly less reflective of solar radiation from around 1996, the analysis found, with the ice absorbing 2% more solar energy per decade from this point. At the same time, summer near-surface temperatures in...
