Business Insider: What we currently think of the Arctic -- a desolate white wasteland of snow and ice will soon turn to green, laden with trees and shrubs. The changing land will also speed warming. A recent study, published Sunday March 31 in the journal Nature Climate Change, found that green areas in the Arctic could grow up to 50 percent in coming decades. A warmer world means more environments that can support plants, which will now be able to grow at higher latitudes than they currently can. This changing...
New models predict drastically greener Arctic in coming decades

ScienceDaily: New research predicts that rising temperatures will lead to a massive "greening," or increase in plant cover, in the Arctic. In a paper published on March 31 in Nature Climate Change, scientists reveal new models projecting that wooded areas in the Arctic could increase by as much as 50 percent over the next few decades. The researchers also show that this dramatic greening will accelerate climate warming at a rate greater than previously expected. "Such widespread redistribution of Arctic vegetation...

Loss Of Arctic Ice May Be Cause Of This Chilly Spring
2013-03-27 21:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Have you been experiencing the coldest spring weather in recent memory? Its probably because of global warming. According to climate scientists, warmer than average temperatures have thrown a monkey wrench into global weather patterns by melting Arctic sea ice at record rates during the summer months. "Ironically ... as the ice pack retreats and the Arctic heats up, there`s a counteracting tendency in middle latitudes for colder winters, as well as hotter summers," said Stephen Vavrus, senior...
