Grist: Every year around the end of February, after a long winter, Arctic ice reaches its maximum extent. This year that happened around Feb. 25, when it encompassed 14.54 million square kilometers (5.61 million square miles) of ice around the North Pole. Sound like a lot? Its not. Really, really not. This years maximum extent was the lowest on record. The plot above shows the situation. The solid line shows the average ice extent over the year (measured from 1981 to 2010) and the gray area represents...

EcoWatch: The warmest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica may have occurred last Tuesday with a thermometer reading 63.5 degrees Fahrenheit at Argentinas Esperanza Base on the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, according to Weather Underground. The previous record was set the day before at 63.3 degrees at Argentinas Marambio Base on a small islet just off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Prior to this weeks record heat wave for the icy continent, the hottest known temperature in Antarctica...
Monstrous melt: Distant Antarctica glaciers have scientists worried
2015-03-22 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: The great ice sheet of West Antarctica has begun sliding into what scientists believe is an irreversible collapse. It will take a century, but once glaciers that took tens of thousands of years to form are gone, the absence will result in a sea level rise in the Northern Hemisphere of at least 10 feet. If this were the only scenario to worry about, it would be more than enough to qualify as a catastrophe. Unfortunately, West Antarctica isn't the only ice formation that may disappear from the bottom...

Massive Glacier Melt Pouring into Gulf of Alaska
2015-03-21 18:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: The collective freshwater discharge of this region is more than four times greater than the mighty Yukon River of Alaska and Canada, and half again as much as the Mississippi River. While scientists had indeed noticed this runoff, until now they had no idea the magnitude of its impact. If all this mountain rain, snow and glacial ice melt empties into the Gulf of Alaska, it would create the sixth largest coastal river in the world if it emerged as a single stream, researchers say. "Freshwater...
