Cubic Lane: Antarctic sea ice study - The increase in sea ice in Antarctica, apparently in contradiction with some mainstream climate models, is largely explained by natural climate fluctuations.

The organisms have a cylindrical stalk capped by a flat, semi-transparent disc that houses visible channels branching outwards. These channels, which resemble tree-like diagrams known as dendrograms, are the basis for its scientific name - Dendrogramma. The original specimens were described for the first time in 2014 by a...

Washington Post: Alaska makes up 18 percent of the United States' total area, the state stores 53 per cent of all of the nation's carbon. In recent years, climate scientists have grown increasingly concerned about a carbon problem in the far north. The fear is that with the higher latitudes of the planet warming extremely rapidly, that heat itself, and some of its consequences - such as raging wildfires in northern forests - could unleash a climate disaster. Perennially frozen northern soils, known as permafrost,...
