Greenland Hits Record 75°F, Sets Melt Record As Hottest Year
2016-06-15 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: Last Thursday, Greenland`s capital hit 75°F, which was hotter than New York City. This was the highest temperature ever recorded there in June - in a country covered with enough ice to raise sea levels more than 20 feet. It comes hot on the heels of the hottest May on record for the entire globe, according to NASA. As the map above shows, May temperature anomalies in parts of the Arctic and Antarctic were as high as 17°F (9.4°C) above the 1951-1980 average for the month. And this all follows...
Greenland ice melt goes into overdrive after record heat wave
2016-06-14 15:06:44| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: In 2016, Greenland has seemingly been on a mission to prove that it, too, can experience truly warm weather of the sort that is typically confined to far more temperate areas. So far in June, the world's largest island has experienced record warmth that would be considered mild even in the lower 48 states. Take June 9, for example. That day it was warmer in Greenland's capital of Nuuk -- at 75 degrees Fahrenheit, or 24 degrees Celsius, than it was in New York City, which had a high temperature...
Greenland's 2015 melt records consistent with 'Arctic amplification'
2016-06-10 13:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Following record-high temperatures and melting records that affected northwest Greenland in summer 2015, a new study provides the first evidence linking melting in Greenland to the anticipated effects of a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification. Arctic amplification, in the simplest terms, is the faster warming of the Arctic compared to the rest of the Northern Hemisphere as sea ice disappears. It is fueled by a feedback loop: rising global temperatures are melting Arctic sea ice, leaving dark...

The big melt: Arctic sea ice hits record lows
2016-06-09 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: It was a warm spring for Arctic sea ice, with sea ice extents reaching record low levels in January, February, and April. Now, scientists say that May beat previous ice cover low records by a huge amount. Last month, the Arctic averaged twelve million square kilometers of sea ice. The previous record low, set in 2004, was more than half a million square kilometers greater than this years record. In other words, this Mays Arctic ice cover was smaller than the previously set record by an area...
