The ABCs of Antarctic Ice Shelf Melting
2015-05-13 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: January 1995 marked a seminal moment in modern Antarctic history, with the crumbling of the Larsen A ice shelf, a floating plain of ice fed by glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula. Less than a decade later, its southern neighbor, the Larsen B ice shelf, disintegrated, stunning polar scientists. After the spectacular collapses of Larsen A and B, scientists began keeping a close watch on the next ice shelf to the south, the Larsen C, which has shown some worrying signs of thinning. At about the area...

Arctic Ice Melting Faster and Earlier With Dire Results
2015-05-09 15:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: There was less ice in the Arctic this winter than in any other winter during the satellite era, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists said on Tuesday. The announcement was consistent with previous predictions that the Arctic would have entirely ice-free summers by 2040, they said in a briefing to the media on the state of climate trends in the North Pole. The consequences of such a small quantity of Arctic ice are major and far-reaching. After undergoing a period of colder...

Fixing 'bugs' in climate models: Accounting for melting permafrost
2015-04-10 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: Abrupt climate change within a decade triggered by runaway melting of Arctic permafrost is extremely unlikely, according to a study published in Nature yesterday. Rather, the permafrost, or frozen ground, in the Northern Hemisphere will take decades or centuries to melt and release the carbon stored in the soil. The release will not trigger a catastrophe per se but will exacerbate global warming. "These are large and significant releases, so, over a century, we are going to release 100 billion...

Melting Arctic Permafrost To Cause Massive but Gradual CO2 Release
2015-04-09 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: A comprehensive new study of the potential climate change impacts of melting Arctic permafrost says that a vast amount of carbon dioxide will be released from thawing permafrost but that it will seep out gradually, rather than in an abrupt carbon bomb. Working since 2011, a group of 17 Arctic permafrost scientists studied the rate at which permafrost is thawing and the resulting release of CO2. The scientists concluded that Arctic permafrost has undergone a stunning degree of warming, rising from...
