Canada struggles with melting permafrost as climate warms

Scientific American: In 2006, reduced thickness of ice roads forced the Diavik Diamond Mine in Northern Canada to fly in fuel rather than try to transport cargo across melted pathways, at an extra cost of $11.25 million. The mountain pine beetle outbreak in British Columbia--fueled by higher winter temperatures that allow insects to survive--expanded in recent years to be 10 times greater than any previously recorded outbreak in the province. Mortality rates of sockeye salmon, meanwhile, have increased because of...

Underworld threat to melting icecap
2014-06-17 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Researchers in the US have identified a new reason for the acceleration in the melting of Greenlands icecap - the ice underneath, as it melts and then refreezes, appears to speed up glacial flow. The melt-and-freeze-again cycle is not itself new, as a similar process has been diagnosed under the ice cap of Antarctica. Nor is the process itself necessarily connected with global warming. Such things must always have happened. But Robin Bell, a geophysicist at Columbia Universitys Lamont Doherty...

Melting glaciers a 'climate tipping point,' Bonn meeting told

Irish Times: World leaders need to ensure that global warming is kept low enough to avoid pulling the plug on vast ice shelves in Antarctica, thereby causing a catastrophic sea level rise across the globe, a leading scientist warned yesterday. Dr Anders Levermann, of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, noted last months major scientific report warning that a collapse of large sections of the west Antarctica ice shelf had already begun and was now unstoppable. We have entered a new era...

Spying heats up in melting Arctic as countries vie for energy wealth
2014-06-11 07:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: In early March, a mysterious ship the size of a large passenger ferry left a Romanian wharf, glided through the narrow Bosporus that separates Europe and Asia, and plotted a course toward Scandinavia. About a month later, at the fenced-in headquarters of Norways military intelligence service, the countrys spy chief disclosed its identity. It was a $250 million spy ship, tentatively named Marjata, that will be equipped with sensors and other technology to snoop on Russias activities in the Arctic...
