50 Years Ago Big Oil Bragged About Being Able To Melt Glaciers, While They Knew About Climate Change
2016-04-15 22:04:12| Oil & Gas - Topix.net
Newly-released oil industry documents push back the start date of the world's most successful disinformation campaign to the 1960s, if not earlier. The must-read documents, published by The Center for International Environmental Law , strengthen the hand of the numerous attorneys general investigating whether ExxonMobil engaged in a cover-up to mislead the public and investors about the dangers of human-caused climate change.

Microbes Are Likely Speeding Up the Melting of the Glaciers
2016-03-23 18:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: As if soaring global temperatures werent bad enough, scientists reported this week that microbes are also speeding up the melting of Arctic ice. The problem lies in cryoconite, the soil-like composite of dust, industrial soot and photosynthetic bacteria that darkens the surface of ice and causes it to melt, scientists from Aberystwyth University in Wales said. As it melts, ice leaves behind small water-filled holes full of bacteria. The sun-loving microbes then shape the pockmarks depth and size...

Guardian: In September 2015, artist Mariele Neudecker and photographer Klaus Thymann embarked on a joint project to detail the glaciers of Narsarsuaq, south-west Greenland. The collaboration is part of a mission by UK charity Project Pressure to record the worlds vanishing and receding glaciers using art as inspiration

Rocky Mountain meltdown: CU scientists find glaciers shrinking
2016-01-14 16:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Denver Post: Colorado scientists using ground-penetrating radar have found climate change is shrinking glaciers and other icy terrain in the Rocky Mountains -- raising concerns about water supplies. The Arikaree Glacier -- likely more than 1,000 years old -- has been thinning by about 1 meter a year over the past 15 years and will disappear completely in 25 years, a team of scientists concluded. Their peer-reviewed research, unveiled Tuesday, found that rock glaciers and other ice that holds water west...

Three miles high: Using drones to study high-altitude glaciers
2015-12-17 06:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: While some dream of the day that aerial drones deliver their online purchases, scientists are using the technology today to deliver data that was never available before. About 5,000 meters high in the Peruvian Andes, the scientists are mapping glaciers and wetlands in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range with 10-centimeter precision to gauge how climate change will affect the half-million local residents who rely in part on those glaciers for their water supply. Their strategy provides a template...
