Climate change: Greenland melting tied to shrinking Arctic sea ice
2016-03-28 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Vanishing Arctic sea ice. Dogged weather systems over Greenland. Far-flung surface ice melting on the massive island. These dramatic trends and global sea-level rise are linked, according to a study coauthored by Jennifer Francis, a research professor in Rutgers University's Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences. During Greenland summers, melting Arctic sea ice favors stronger and more frequent “blocking-high” pressure systems, which spin clo…

Charleston Gazette-Mail: Princeton scientist Robert Socolow says the worlds top universities should create a new field of research Destiny Studies to explore possible futures for humanity. Following up, Oxford physicist Raymond Pierrehumbert says the ultimate destiny will be incineration, hundreds of millions of years from now when the sun comes to the end of its life-cycle and swells to a lethal furnace, exterminating all living things on Planet Earth. In the immediate future, he says, humanitys destiny depends...

Denver Channel: Climate change and rising global temperatures are just a natural process that the earth has experienced many times over its long history. Whats not normal right now is the speed at which those temperatures are rising. Professing Scott Denning from Colorado State University joined us on the First Alert Spring Forecast to talk about climate change. He says the greenhouse effect is what keeps the earth inhabitable and that without CO2 in the atmosphere, the earth would be cod enough to freeze the...

Science Codex: Vanishing Arctic sea ice. Dogged weather systems over Greenland. Far-flung surface ice melting on the massive island. These dramatic trends and global sea-level rise are linked, according to a study coauthored by Jennifer Francis, a research professor in Rutgers University's Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences. During Greenland summers, melting Arctic sea ice favors stronger and more frequent "blocking-high" pressure systems, which spin clockwise, stay largely in place and can block cold,...

Hindu: Over the past several years, headlines on weather-related extreme events have included heavy downpours followed by floods, droughts, storms, heat and cold waves, and wild fires. Such events typically destroy lives, property and ecosystems while stretching the capacities of disaster management departments and coffers for emergency funds in various parts of the world. "Protecting people before and after major floods, storms, and extreme events is a core part of our business," said Karsten Löffler,...
