Guardian: Rick Spinrad, chief scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa), announces global warming in the Arctic circle has hit new heights in the past year. Stating that warming is happening more than twice as fast in the Arctic than in the rest of the world, Spinrad says the average air temperature reached 1.3C above its usual level, the highest since observations began
The inside story of Shells push to drill in the Arctic

Grist: Last May, four months before the oil giant Royal Dutch Shell suspended exploration in offshore Alaska, Christopher Putnam needed to get something off his chest. Putnam is 44, originally from Texas, a trained wildlife biologist who also served as an Army infantry sergeant during the Iraq War. For almost six years, he has worked in Alaska for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, protecting marine mammals. It has been his job to ensure that Shells plans to drill more than 60 miles offshore in the...

Guardian: Maatalii Okalik is tired of seeing polar bears as the face of climate change. Make it an Inuit face. Were the ones that are really affected by it, she told the Guardian in a phone interview from Paris. At the Paris climate conference, the bear is a trope on banners and posters. Politicians and activists are taking note of the Arctics plight, invoking sprawling vistas and vulnerable wildlife as a cautionary tale. This summer, I saw the effects of climate change first-hand in our northernmost...
Climate change likely to increase black carbon input to the Arctic Ocean
2015-12-01 04:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: University of Georgia Skidaway Institute of Oceanography scientist Aron Stubbins led a team of researchers to determine the levels of black carbon in Arctic rivers and found that the input of black carbon to the Arctic Ocean is likely to increase with global warming. The results of their study were recently published in the journal Frontiers in Earth Science. Black carbon, or biochar, is formed when vegetation and other organic matter burns. Today black carbon is a massive store of carbon in global...

Climate change consequences for people in Canada's Arctic deserves more attention, says researcher
2015-11-27 00:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CBC: The polar bear has become somewhat of an international symbol for the consequences of climate change but some researchers say more work needs to be done on how the disappearing sea ice affects people who call the Arctic home. Climate change is changing the Arctic landscape faster than other regions in fact the change is happening "almost 40 times faster than the models had predicted," said Eric Solomon, director of Arctic Programs at the Vancouver Aquarium. Solomon said Canadians need to...
