Ice researchers capture catastrophic Greenland melt
2015-01-13 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: Over a few summer days in 2012, nearly all of the Greenland ice sheet surface thawed right under the feet of a UCLA-led team of scientists. What was not absorbed into snow quickly gathered and flowed across the 20,000-square-mile sheet, coalescing into roaring turquoise rivers. And then most of it disappeared. Where all that water went may seem an easy guess. But that`s just the problem with Greenland ice science -- some of the guesses have been wrong, according to a study published online...

Massive fossil fuels cut is last chance to limit global warming, researchers say
2015-01-09 11:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

EurActiv Germany reports. According to the study, approximately 80% of current technically and economically recoverable coal, 50% of gas reserves, and 30% of oil reserves would have to remain untapped over the next 40 years to slow global warming. 21% of Europes oil...
Researchers work to counter a new class of coffee shop hackers
