Harsher winters related to Arctic sea ice loss
2014-11-02 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Living on Earth: A new study published in Nature Geoscience found that the likelihood of unusually cold winters in parts of Eurasia doubles as the Arctic warms and sea ice declines. Host Steve Curwood discusses the findings with Rutgers University climate researcher Jennifer Francis, who also explains how rising temperatures in the far north are changing world weather. Transcript CURWOOD: From the Jennifer and Ted Stanley Studios in Boston and PRI, this is Living on Earth. I'm Steve Curwood. 2014 is on track...
Arctic ice melt doubles risk of frigid Eurasian winters, study finds

Mashable: Global warming-related sea ice melt in a portion of the vast Arctic Ocean has doubled the risk of colder and snowier winters in Eurasia since 2004, a new study found. The study is the latest in a spate of recent research to examine the ties between rapid Arctic warming and the rest of the Northern Hemisphere. Much of that research is still highly contentious in the mainstream climate science community. Here is what scientists agree on: The Arctic is warming at a rate about twice as fast as...
Melting Arctic increasing the chance of cold winters in Europe and Asia

Blue and Green: Loss of ice in the Arctic triggered by global warming could result in more severe winters in Europe and central Asia, as freezing air from altered wind patterns would be pushed southwards, according to new research. Warming global temperatures driven by increased levels of greenhouse gas emissions have caused a rapid sea ice loss in the Arctic, which in also accelerating global warming, as sun light ends up into the ocean instead of being reflected away, therefore causing ocean temperatures to...
Global warming will make our winters colder

Independent: Britain can expect twice as many severe winters as usual over the coming decades, according to a study supporting the counterintuitive idea that global warming could lead to colder weather in some parts of the world. Climate scientists believe they have found evidence to suggest that the loss of floating Arctic sea ice in the Barents and Kara seas north of Scandinavia can affect the global circulation of air currents and lead to bitterly cold winds blowing for extended periods in winter over Central...

Cold Winters in Europe, Asia Linked to Sea Ice Decline
2014-10-26 21:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: In the latest study to look at the possible connection between the precipitous decline of Arctic sea ice and extreme weather over the Northern Hemisphere, researchers found that cold winters over Europe and Asia were twice as likely thanks to sea ice decline in a particular part of the Arctic. The proposed connection between the precipitous decline of Arctic sea ice and extreme weather over North America, Europe and Asia has garnered a lot of public attention in recent years, particularly after...
