Another month, another troubling Arctic sea ice record
2016-03-03 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: This year is quickly excising 2015 from the dubious top of the climate record books. The most freakishly warm month on record, record atmospheric heat in February and now for the second month in a row, a new monthly Arctic sea ice low. February saw record low sea ice extent, with ice running a significant 448,000 square miles below average. In essence, a chunk of ice four times the size of Arizona went missing in action from the Arctic. The number would be even more pronounced if not for a small...

The nations overall toll was about 4 million acres more than the yearly average, scorching a record set in 2006. The record was anticipated by the U.S....

Washington Post: Perhaps the most surprising story out of the Paris climate talks so far is the shift that seems to be occurring in favor of at least some acknowledgment -- if not an outright embrace -- of a 1.5 degrees Celsius global temperature target in a final agreement here. Holding warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels -- rather than to 2 degrees, which up until now has been the most widely accepted target would be extraordinarily difficult, if not outright impossible. Scientists have...
