Arctic methane catastrophe scenario is based on new empirical observations
2013-08-02 17:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ecologist: Last week, the journal Nature published a new paper warning of a $60 trillion price tag for a potential 50 Gigatonne methane pulse from the East Siberian Arctic Shelf (ESAS) over 10-50 years this century. The paper, however, prompted many to suggest that its core scenario - as Arctic permafrost thaws it could increasingly unleash dangerous quantities of methane from sub-ice methane hydrates in as quick as a decade - is implausible. The Washington Post's Jason Samenow argued that "almost everything...

Santa's workshop not flooded but lots of melting in the Arctic
2013-08-01 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Space Daily: Santa's workshop at the North Pole is not under water, despite recent reports. A dramatic image captured by a University of Washington monitoring buoy reportedly shows a lake at the North Pole. But Santa doesn't yet need to buy a snorkel. "Every summer when the sun melts the surface the water has to go someplace, so it accumulates in these ponds," said Jamie Morison, a polar scientist at the UW Applied Physics Laboratory and principal investigator since 2000 of the North Pole Environmental Observatory....

Researchers Explain Arctic Lake Disappearance
2013-08-01 15:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: The Arctic lake has disappeared, leaving behind ice and clouds in the region. The pool of water drained through cracks in the underlying ice July, 29. Researchers at UW Applied Physics Laboratory said that ice melts at the Arctic every summer. "Every summer when the sun melts the surface the water has to go someplace, so it accumulates in these ponds. This doesn't look particularly extreme," said Jamie Morison, a polar scientist at the UW Applied Physics Laboratory and principal investigator since...

UK failing to protect the Arctic from drilling, warn MPs
2013-07-27 08:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The coalition government is failing to protect the Arctic from drilling for oil and gas, by allowing new projects to go ahead with too little scrutiny of their potential risks, the UK's parliamentary green watchdog has warned. The MPs urged a moratorium on Arctic drilling, which the coalition has so far rejected, and called on David Cameron to revisit the Arctic, where early in his leadership of the opposition he famously was photographed with huskie dogs. MPs on the influential environmental audit...
