INewsToday: Arctic's pink snow pushing ice glaciers towards faster melting: Research But this month, the Arctic landscape looks like something out of a Dr. Seuss book, with landscapes of pink snow. This was speculated to be a result of meteoric iron deposits, according to a report from the London Times that accompanied Ross' findings. The snow changing a darker color could hasten the melting process, which could result in more algae growth and further accelerate the process. Watermelon snow has been spotted...

Melting Arctic could supercharge climate feedback loop

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....

Melting ice in Greenland linked to faster Arctic warming

Gadgets and Technology: It is also well over a million square kilometers below the average for the month. Ice loss on Greenland is likely driving the loss of frozen cover around the rest of the Arctic. And it broke the prior record low for May by a region larger than California, although not quite as large as Texas. The future of the planet depends upon it. In June of 2015, Greenland underwent record levels of melting ice. The previous record September low was set in 2012. The south saw more snow during summer of 2015...

Study links 2015 melting Greenland ice to faster Arctic warming
2016-06-12 09:34:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
iNews Today: A recent study shows that changes in the jet stream are directly affecting ice melt in Greenland. The result could be the latter warmer air being pushed further north causing even more Arctic warming. "We identified an unusual configuration of the jet stream toward northern Greenland that led to this melt pattern", Mote noted. A new study has blamed Arctic amplification for the loss of ice in Greenland. Greenland possesses the second-largest ice sheet in the world, behind only Antarctica. If...
