Fresh Focus on Siberian Permafrost as Second Hole is Reported
2014-07-26 00:42:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: I had a Skype chat Wednesday about Siberian permafrost in the context of climate change with Marina Leibman, a top Russian permafrost expert who had just returned from examining the unusual crater spotted on the Yamal Peninsula in Siberia late last week. We talked just before fresh reports circulated about reindeer herders finding another such hole in the region. I hope youll watch our chat, which I regret I have not yet had time to transcribe (if you are in the mood, Id be grateful for help;...

Siberian stalactites point to permafrost thaw
2013-02-22 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Climate change Large regions of the planet's permafrost could be vulnerable to thawing if the average global temperature rises just 1.5 degrees more, a new analysis of stalactites and stalagmites in Siberian caves suggests. With climate projections currently suggesting the global climate could warm by more than 2°C over the next century, the new results highlight concerns about the potential for permafrost thawing to amplify climate change by releasing carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere....

Icy Siberian caves show tiny warming, may mean big thaw
2013-02-21 21:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Ancient records from icy caves in Siberia show that a small amount of global warming can thaw vast areas of frozen ground and release harmful stores of greenhouse gases, a study showed. Any melt of permafrost, or permanently frozen soil that covers almost a quarter of the northern hemisphere from Alaska to China, can also destabilize everything from oil and gas pipelines to buildings and roads. "Global climates only slightly warmer than today are sufficient to thaw significant regions of permafrost,"...
