New strategy needed to cope with Arctic environmental changes: Report
2013-04-05 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: With the warming U.S. Arctic region poised for greater oil and mining development, the White House needs to develop a national strategy that can take environmental decisions on a larger scale, a report issued Thursday concluded. The study recommends greater coordination between federal, state and local agencies to better manage resources in Alaska, said the U.S. Department of Interior's Alaska Interagency Working Group in its report that was presented to President Barack Obama. "It is imperative...

Arctic Going Green from Warming, Study Finds
2013-04-04 01:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Large swaths of the Arctic tundra will be warm enough to support lush vegetation and trees by 2050, suggests a new study. Higher temperatures will lessen snow cover, according to the study, which is detailed in the March 31 issue of the journal Nature Climate Change. That, in turn, will decrease the sunlight reflected back into the atmosphere and increase warming. About half the areas will see vegetation change, and areas currently populated by shrubs may find woody trees taking their place. ...

2013 wintertime Arctic sea ice maximum fifth lowest on record
2013-04-03 22:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Last September, at the end of the northern hemisphere summer, the Arctic Ocean's icy cover shrank to its lowest extent on record, continuing a long-term trend and diminishing to about half the size of the average summertime extent from 1979 to 2000. During the cold and dark of Arctic winter, sea ice refreezes and achieves its maximum extent, usually in late February or early March. According to a NASA analysis, this year the annual maximum extent was reached on Feb. 28 and it was the fifth lowest...

Arctic greening seen through global warming
2013-04-02 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Land within the Arctic circle is likely to experience explosive "greening' in the next few decades as grass, shrubs and trees thrive in soil stripped of ice and permafrost by global warming, a study said on Sunday. Wooded areas in the Arctic could increase by as much as 52 percent by the 2050s as the so-called tree line -- the maximum latitude at which trees can grow -- shifts hundreds of kilometers (miles) north, according to computer simulations published in the journal Nature Climate Change....
