Arctic Snow Clears the Air
2013-04-27 16:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EurekAlert: National Science Foundation-funded researchers at Purdue University have discovered that sunlit snow is the major source of atmospheric bromine in the Arctic, the key to unique chemical reactions that purge pollutants and destroy ozone. The new research also indicates that the surface snowpack above Arctic sea ice plays a previously unappreciated role in the bromine cycle and that loss of sea ice, which been occurring at an increasingly rapid pace in recent years, could have extremely disruptive...
Canada: Alberta explores possibility of oil pipeline to Canadas Arctic
2013-04-27 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Toronto Star: Alberta has turned its eye to Canadas Arctic as its latest possible avenue to pipe oil out and into the global market. The province has backed a $50,000 feasibility study to see if its physically and financially viable to pump the oilsands bitumen to Tuktoyaktuk, N.W.T., on the Beaufort Sea and the Arctic Ocean. Were looking at market access in all directions, said Mike Feenstra, press secretary for Alberta Energy Minister Ken Hughes. The province says $30 billion in oilsands revenue...

Oil sands: Alberta eyes Arctic route to get its bitumen to market
2013-04-27 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EnergyWire: At a time when Canadian officials are aggressively defending TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline project, Alberta's Energy Department is quietly considering an Arctic alternative to carry their bitumen to market. The department is spending $50,000 to study the pros and cons of building a pipeline from Alberta's oil sands extraction sites north to the small native hamlet of Tuktoyaktuk along the shores of the Beaufort Sea in northwest Canada. The study, which is being conducted by the Calgary...

Sea Ice Loss Could Alter Arctic Air Chemistry
2013-04-24 09:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Over the past 30 years, the Arctic has warmed more than any other place on the planet, and that warming and the resulting melt of the region's sea ice presents a number of potential adverse effects, from impacts on weather systems to the decline in the habitats of native species. Now, a team of scientists have found evidence that the Arctic warming and melting sea ice could be changing the chemistry of the Arctic atmosphere through reactions that happen on the snow that sits atop the sea ice and...
