Arctic thaw significantly worsens global warming risk
2014-02-18 19:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: Melting ice is cooking the planet. Shrinking Arctic sea ice means the ocean is absorbing more energy from the sun, and it's now clear the effect is twice as big as thought - adding significantly to heating from greenhouse gases. Arctic temperatures have risen 2 °C since the 1970s, leading to a 40 per cent dip in the minimum summer ice coverage in the Arctic Ocean. Open water soaks up more sunlight than ice, so as the ice retreats the ocean absorbs more energy, warming it and causing even more...

Is Climate Change Increasing the Disease Risk for Arctic Marine Mammals?
2014-02-14 22:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: Climate change is melting Arctic sea ice, leaving animals that depend on it high and dry. Marine mammals like ringed seals have to find new areas to give birth, raise their young, and haul out. And now, experts say, these animals must deal with another woeemerging diseases. Ice-free parts of the Arctic seem to be opening up new areas for more than just shipping companies. A new species of parasite, Sarcocystis pinnipedi, is on the move south, infecting gray seals and killing off as much as 20...
