Agence France-Presse: A recent anthrax outbreak in the far north of Russia left a child dead, 23 people infected and the government scrambling to deploy hundreds of rescue workers and soldiers to stop any further spread. The source, scientists say, seems likely to have been the long-buried corpses of reindeers on Yamal peninsula uncovered as Russia's permafrost melts -- and then been passed on to grazing herds. The fear now is that this is not a freak incident and that other diseases -- some dating back to the Ice...

2016-05-31 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inside Climate News: While Arctic ice is melting at a record pace, a team of NASA-led researchers say they can explain why Antarctic sea ice has been edging in the opposite direction. That paradox has puzzled scientists for years and given climate-change deniers fodder to dispute global warming. The group found that the icy winds blowing off Antarctica, as well as a powerful ocean current that circles the frozen continent, are much larger factors in the formation and persistence of Antarctic sea ice than changes in...
Greenland ice sheet melts more when it's cloudy
2016-01-12 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Clouds play a bigger role in the melting of the Greenland ice sheet than was previously assumed. Compared to clear skies, clouds enhance the meltwater runoff by a third. Those are the findings of an international study that was coordinated by KU Leuven and published in Nature Communications. Greenland's ice sheet is the second largest ice mass in the world -- the largest is Antarctica. The ice sheet is losing mass at a high speed and increasingly contributes to the sea level rise on our planet....
