Yale Environment 360: When China -- along with Japan, South Korea, Singapore, India, and Italy -- was granted permanent observer status in the Arctic Council last month, it left many experts wondering whether a paradigm shift in geopolitics is taking place in the region. Until recently, security issues, search and rescue protocols, indigenous rights, climate change, and other environmental priorities were the main concerns of the intergovernmental forum, which includes the eight voting states bordering the Arctic and...

Arctic sea ice melt disrupts weather patterns
2013-05-31 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Shrinking Arctic sea ice is shifting polar weather patterns, especially in fall and winter, a new climate modeling study finds. For the study, researchers looked at weather patterns in 2007, when sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean hit one of its lowest summer extents since satellite tracking began in the late 1970s. In fall and winter, when sea ice would normally insulate the ocean from frigid Arctic air temperatures, the small ice pack meant lots of heat could escape from the ocean into the atmosphere,...

Ice levels, rule changes to boost Arctic northern sea route
2013-05-29 12:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Shipping along the Arctic northern sea route is set to grow more than 30-fold over the next eight years and could account for a quarter of the cargo traffic between Europe and Asia by 2030, experts said on Wednesday. With global warming thawing sea ice, the route, which runs along Russia's northern coast and links Europe with ports in East Asia, is opening for longer and longer each year. Russia is also easing regulations to accommodate more vessels aiming to spur use of the still fledgling...
