Arctic Ice Cap Flowing 25 Times Faster into Ocean
2015-01-24 02:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A remote Arctic ice cap, in the face of warming temperatures and climate change, is now flowing 25 times faster into the ocean compared to 2012, a new study shows. According to satellite images, the southeast region of Austfonna, located in the Svalbard archipelago, is thinning at an incredible rate. In fact, in the last three years alone the region has thinned by more than 50 meters (164 feet) - about one sixth of its original thickness. Consequentially, melting is now occurring within 10...

[NEWS] Satellite images have revealed that a remote Arctic ice cap has thinned by more than 50 metres since 2012 - about one sixth of its original thickness - and that it is now flowing 25 times faster. A team led by scientists from the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling (CPOM) at the University of Leeds combined observations from eight satellite missions, including Sentinel-1A and CryoSat, with results from regional climate models, to unravel the story of ice decline. …

National Geographic: The year 2014 was the hottest since record-keeping began in 1880, according to independent reviews of temperature data released Friday by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Globally, land and ocean temperatures were 1.24°F (0.69°C) higher than the average for the 20th century-passing previous highs set in 2005 and 2010. The announcement comes as international negotiators are still struggling to reach agreement to reduce global carbon dioxide emissions in the wake...

Ocean Life Faces Mass Extinction, Broad Study Says
2015-01-16 11:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: A team of scientists, in a groundbreaking analysis of data from hundreds of sources, has concluded that humans are on the verge of causing unprecedented damage to the oceans and the animals living in them. We may be sitting on a precipice of a major extinction event, said Douglas J. McCauley, an ecologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and an author of the new research, which was published on Thursday in the journal Science. But there is still time to avert catastrophe, Dr. McCauley...
