Melting Arctic sea ice could be altering jet stream

Ars Technica: The rapidly warming Arctic isnt noteworthy only for its own sake. Changes there affect the rest of the planet in a number of ways. Recently, there has been a lot of interest in whether the dwindling Arctic summer sea ice could be weirding the weather in the mid-latitudes. There have been a number of recent summer extremes--Russias hellish summer in 2010, the drought in the US last summer, a very wet 2011 in Korea and Japan, plus a streak of soggy summers in the UK. There have been suggestions...

US Navy Predicts Summer Ice Free Arctic by 2016
2013-12-09 16:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: An ongoing US Department of Energy-backed research project led by a US Navy scientist predicts that the Arctic could lose its summer sea ice cover as early as 2016 - 84 years ahead of conventional model projections. The project, based out of the US Naval Postgraduate School's Department of Oceanography, uses complex modelling techniques that make its projections more accurate than others. A paper by principal investigator Professor Wieslaw Maslowski in the Annual Review of Earth and Planetary...
New study says Arctic ice melt and extreme weather conditions linked
2013-12-09 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
International Business Times: The new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, warned of increasingly extreme weather across "much of North America and Eurasia where billions of people will be affected, Reuters reported. The new findings have further roiled a debate on the impact of global warming on climate change, as international scientists and studies differ significantly on whether human-caused global warming is responsible for climate change or not. "The study contributes to a growing body of evidence...

Study Adds to Arctic Warming, Extreme Weather Debate
2013-12-09 01:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: A new study for the first time found links between the rapid loss of snow and sea ice cover in the Arctic and a recent spate of exceptional extreme heat events in North America, Europe, and Asia. The study adds to the evidence showing that the free-fall in summer sea ice extent and even sharper decline in spring snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere is reverberating throughout the atmosphere, making extreme events more likely to occur. The study, published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate...
