Melting Sea Ice Makes Arctic Drilling a Risky Business
2014-02-05 20:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Sea ice melting partly because of human-caused climate change could open previously inaccessible Arctic Ocean waters to expanded oil drilling, but the risks of drilling there will be extremely high. As sea ice melts in the Arctic, the oil and gas industry has expressed new interest in drilling offshore and is expected to invest roughly $100 billion there by 2023, according to a new paper from the Woodrow Wilson Center, a Washington-based think tank. The paper highlights an agreement between ExxonMobil...
Arctic Ice Season Shortens by 24 Days as Fewer Lakes Freeze to the Bottom

Nature World: The winter ice season in the Arctic is 24 days shorter today than it was in the 1950s, according to new research led by University of Waterloo scientists. Writing in the journal The Cryosphere, the researchers report that not only is the ice season shorter now than it was more than six decades ago, the ice is also thinner - by 38 centimeters at its thickest point. "We've found that the thickness of the ice has decreased tremendously in response to climate warming in the region," said Cristina...
There's more behind Arctic shipping than climate change
2014-02-03 20:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Globe and Mail: There is a continuing debate about the possible emergence of an "Arctic shipping boom' in Canada. Recent headlines outline both cargo shippers' plans to increase voyages through the Northwest Passage and an interminable list of risks associated with this possibility, while other stories call for a reality check and for promoters of the so-called boom in Arctic shipping to curb their excitement. In a recently published article in the journal Climate Change, a group of climate change researchers...

Arctic icy lakes lose thickness
2014-02-03 14:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: The ubiquitous shallow icy lakes that dominate Alaska's Arctic coastal plain have undergone a significant change in recent decades. These lakes, many of which are no more than 3m deep, melt earlier in the season and retain open water conditions for much longer. And 20 years of satellite radar also now show that far fewer will freeze right through to the bottom in winter. The results of the space-borne survey are published in The Cryosphere. What is happening to the lakes is an example...
