Arctic Ice Melting Faster and Earlier With Dire Results
2015-05-09 15:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: There was less ice in the Arctic this winter than in any other winter during the satellite era, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists said on Tuesday. The announcement was consistent with previous predictions that the Arctic would have entirely ice-free summers by 2040, they said in a briefing to the media on the state of climate trends in the North Pole. The consequences of such a small quantity of Arctic ice are major and far-reaching. After undergoing a period of colder...

Climate changes tragic toll: Arctic, two missing researchers & unsettling questions about warming planet

Salon: Early in the morning of April 29, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Resolute Bay, a small Inuit community in the far northern reaches of Canada, received a distress call from Marc Cornelissen and Philip de Roo, a two-person team collecting data in the Arctic. It was the 23rd day of their expedition, organized through Cornelissen`s Holland-based scientific research organization, Cold Facts. The time was easy to measure, de Roo had joked several days earlier in a voice recording, based on smell...

El Nino, Arctic ice melt could mean colder winter in Europe
2015-05-07 17:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Next winter in Europe could be colder and drier than the previous two mild winters, which drove down gas and power consumption, the chief meteorologist at Thomson Reuters Point Carbon said. Two factors pointed to potentially chillier winter weather - an El Nino phenomenon that could warm sea-surface temperatures in the Pacific, and the melting of the Arctic ice cap. "If El Nino is strong in the middle of the Pacific it could mean colder weather in Europe than during recent winters, because...
Activists block Shell's Arctic drilling rigs from Seattle waterfront

Guardian: Royal Dutch Shell wants to park two massive Arctic oil drilling rigs in Seattles waterfront but the petroleum giant will have to get around protesters in kayaks and a mayor determined to take on climate change. The fast-approaching battle with so-called kayaktivists is unfolding in the northwestern coastal city well known for embracing environmental causes, laying bare the high-stakes feud over oil exploration in the icy waters off Alaska. Seattle Mayor Ed Murray took up the cause on Monday,...

New era in Arctic Ocean due to climate change
2015-05-05 14:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Climate change has led to the Arctic Ocean entering a new era that could have an impact on the regions biodiversity, according to Norwegian scientists. The Norwegian Polar Institute is researching how climate change is impacting the Arctic Ocean. In particular, they will look at how rising temperatures and melting ice is leading to less multi-year ice, which builds up over a number of years, and more young ice. Speaking to the BBC, Jan-Gunnar Winther, said, We have almost no data from the...
