Arctic Sea Ice Hits All-Time Winter Low
2015-03-20 13:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Journal: Arctic sea ice has reached its lowest-ever wintertime level, a fresh indication that rapidly rising global temperatures are significantly impacting the polar region. The National Snow and Ice Data Center announced Thursday that this year's Arctic ice cover hit a peak of 5.61 million square miles at the end of February, an alltime winter low since records began in 1979. Arctic sea ice expands and shrinks on a seasonal basis. Polar ice is typically at its thickest and most expansive in the winter...
Arctic Ice Extent has Reached its Limit: Lowest on Record
2015-03-19 22:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: With winter at its end, it appears that the extent of Arctic sea ice has reached its limit. Worryingly, it's the lowest extent ever seen, reaching only about 5.61 million square miles. What's more, this is also one of the earliest maximum extents ever reached, with most seen much further into the end of the season. Arctic sea ice is pretty self explanatory: it's frozen seawater that grows on the surface of the Arctic Ocean between fall and winter, and gradually recedes at the end of this period....

A second giant blob of Antarctic ice is getting ready drown us
2015-03-17 19:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: Remember when we found out last year that the West Antarctic ice sheet had started to collapse, that the collapse more or less cant be stopped, and that it will eventually result in 10 to 15 feet of sea-level rise? Now we have some more bad news of that caliber. An enormous glacier, one on the other side of the continent from the ailing ice sheet, is doing pretty much the same thing, researchers have discovered. Chris Mooney reports for The Washington Post: The findings about East Antarctica...
Germany puts plan to boost sale of electric company cars on ice
2015-03-17 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Germany's federal government has shelved a plan to boost electric car sales via corporate tax breaks because it could not secure the consent of state governments whose coffers stood to lose revenue, officials said on Monday. The Berlin government of conservative Chancellor Angela Merkel wants to have 1 million electric cars on German roads by 2020, but some critics say the goal looks unrealistic. In December, the cabinet agreed plans to reduce annual CO2 emissions by up to 78 million tonnes by...
