The Arctic Ice Death Spiral
2013-05-28 06:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Slate: It's no surprise to regular readers I am quite concerned about climate change. My concern on this issue is two-fold: one consists of the actual global consequences of the reality of global warming, and the other is the blatant manipulation of that reality by those who would deny it. These two issues overlap mightily when it comes to Arctic sea ice. The ice around the North Pole is going away, and it's doing so with alarming rapidity. I don't mean the yearly cycle of melt in the summer and freeze...
Russia evacuates 'drifting' Arctic research station as ice floe melts
2013-05-25 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Russia's environment ministry has ordered the urgent evacuation of 16 scientists from a research station on an Arctic ice floe near Canada because the ice around it is disintegrating at an alarming rate, giving the station little chance of survival. The emergency has sparked a wider debate among Russian Arctic researchers over how to continue their work amid rapidly changing climate conditions, and in an atmosphere in which the race for newly uncovered Arctic resources has become one of the most...

Arctic base evacuated as ice dissolves beneath researchers feet
2013-05-24 21:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: Though it carries major supervillain cred, placing a scientific research station atop an Arctic ice floe in an era of global warming is a dicey proposition - even for the Russians. North Pole 40, a Russian science station that monitors pollution and conducts meteorological research, began operating in October on an Arctic ice floe. The Russians have been deploying research stations to drifting ice floes for more than 70 years, and North Pole 40 is their 40th such station. But they don`t make...

Arctic Ocean Rapidly Acidifying
2013-05-23 17:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: After three years of ongoing research by an international team of scientists, a study commissioned by the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme for a first-ever comprehensive assessment of Arctic Ocean acidification was presented last week at a meeting of Arctic Council Ministers in Bergen, Norway. The research show that the cold waters of the Arctic sea are more vulnerable to acidification. Cold water more readily absorbs CO2 and combined with the precipitous drop in summer sea ice extent,...
