Arctic ice loss drives extreme weather patterns
2013-03-27 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: Anyone forced to shovel their car out of a snowbank this winter might wonder just how it is a blizzard can occur in a warming climate. The answer, climate scientists say, may have to do with record sea ice losses in the Arctic. At a Tuesday news conference, several researchers said that warming conditions in the Arctic may be weakening jet stream currents and causing extreme weather systems to linger in northern mid-latitudes. "Ironically ... as the ice pack retreats and the Arctic heats...

Arctic: Ice loss in the polar north may deliver a frigid spring in the temperate zone
2013-03-27 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: Ice loss in the Arctic may be fueling extreme weather like the frigid spring conditions lingering over much of the United States, scientists said yesterday. While no one weather pattern can be tied to climate change, the ongoing chill is consistent with global warming in the sense that diminishing sea ice could be changing the jet stream, they said. Could April repeat February? Scientists say rapidly melting ice in the Arctic may extend cold weather storms in the United States. New Englanders,...
Arctic Ice Hits its Annual Max and its 6th Lowest on Record
2013-03-26 20:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The skin of sea ice that covers the Arctic Ocean has reached its maximum extent for 2013, the National Snow and Ice Data Center announced Monday, and the annual melt season has begun. As of March 15, ice covered 5.84 million square miles of ocean, the sixth-lowest since satellite observations began in the 1970's, and 283,000 square miles lower than the 1979-2000 average. Reflecting the influence of global warming, the 10 lowest sea ice maximums have all occurred over the past 10 years. Last summer's...
Fierce northern winter linked to Arctic sea ice melt
2013-03-26 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: TONY EASTLEY: There's more evidence today of the retreat of sea ice in the Arctic. Satellite pictures reveal the icy expanse reached its maximum size for the year on March the 15th yet the sea ice was the sixth lowest since satellite records began just over 30 years ago. Climate scientists say the ice loss is contributing to the massive snowstorms and bitter weather experienced in North America and Europe. Ashley Hall reports. ASHLEY HALL: It's been a particularly fierce winter and spring...
