Blue Bell ice cream will be available in the Knoxville area again beginning Monday following last year's listeria scare. The Kroger in Fountain City, located at 5201 Broadway, will be the first in the area to receive Blue Bell, according to Kroger spokeswoman Melissa Eads.
Global warming likely to delay next ice age
2016-01-14 21:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Global warming is likely to disrupt a natural cycle of ice ages and contribute to delaying the onset of the next big freeze until about 100,000 years from now, scientists said on January 13. In the past million years, the world has had about 10 ice ages before swinging back to warmer conditions like the present. In the last ice age that ended 12,000 years ago, ice sheets blanketed what is now Canada, northern Europe and Siberia. In a new explanation for the long-lasting plunges in global temperatures...
The Antarctic Ice Sheet may be hiding the world's largest canyon system
2016-01-14 17:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mother Nature Network: Geologists studying satellite imagery of the remote Princess Elizabeth Land in East Antarctica, one of the largest unsurveyed land surfaces on Earth, have discovered evidence of a massive subglacial canyon system buried beneath the ice. Tipped off by the physical hints, the team of researchers utilized radio-echo sounding to pull back the white curtain and peer through the ice. What they found is an absolute monstrosity of geology, a canyon system believed to be more than 685 miles long and as...

What's melting Greenland's ice sheet? Night clouds, say scientists
2016-01-14 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Clouds play an important role in melting Greenlands ice sheet, say scientists. A team of scientists from the University of Leuven in Belgium have found that clouds are raising the temperature of the Greenland Ice Sheet by up to 3 degrees, contributing to almost 30 percent of the sheets melting, according a study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications. With climate change at the back of our minds, and the disastrous consequences of a global sea level rise, we need to understand...

Is the world's largest canyon hidden under an Antarctic ice sheet?
2016-01-14 11:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Scientists say they may have discovered the worlds largest canyon, concealed under a vast Antarctic ice sheet. A team of researchers led by Britains Durham University made the discovery using satellite data, which has shown hints of the canyon. Smaller sections of the chasm were also identified using radio-echo sounding technology, which sent radio waves through the ice to map the canyons shape in a remote section of the British Antarctic territory, the university said. When combined, the...
