Climate Central: As global warming heats the Arctic, carbon dioxide emissions from melting permafrost could play a bigger role in worsening climate change than previously thought, according to a new study. Scientists have long considered methane emissions to be the biggest climate threat posed by thawing permafrost. Methane is more potent than carbon dioxide in the short term because as the gas is released into the atmosphere, it speeds global warming, leading to more thawing, more emissions and even more warming....

Arctic, Greenland Stuck in Feedback Loop of Melting

2016-06-10 15:48:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Climate Nexus: Diminishing Arctic sea ice could make Greenlands melting even worse, a new study shows. Changing temperatures at the poles driven by global warming have the potential to impact the jet stream, causing it to bend further north than usual. Blocking events caused by the jet stream that exacerbate ice melt have become increasingly common over Greenland since the 1850s. Accelerating Greenlands melt could not only cause increased sea level rise but a slew of other climate impacts connected to changing...
