Melting ice, warming waters could erode way of life for Alaska North Slope
2013-09-20 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PBS: More than 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle, Alaska`s North Slope is ground zero for global climate change. NewsHour producer April Brown reports the melting ice has opened up opportunity for shipping and other development -- industry that could be catastrophic for the way of life of residents. GWEN IFILL: Now to a town that's been called Ground Zero for climate change. Even as residents of Barrow, Alaska, cope with changing weather patterns and melting sea ice, many are determined to keep...
Estimates put Arctic ice melting by 2050
2013-09-18 17:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Financial Times: The Arctics summer sea ice is set to nearly vanish in less than 40 years, according to the final draft of a sweeping UN climate change report that sharply revises past estimates of how fast the icy north is melting. A nearly ice-free Arctic Ocean in September before mid-century is likely, says the draft seen by the Financial Times of the first large-scale study in six years by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The retreating ice is encouraging for Arctic nations such as Russia,...

Antarctica is Melting from the Bottom Up
2013-09-16 20:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: As much as 90 percent of the ice loss in some parts of Antarctica happens beneath the water, according to researchers who report that much more ice is melting from the undersides of submerged ice shelves than previously thought. Every year 2,800 cubic kilometers leave the Antarctic ice sheet, but for decades the general consensus among scientists was that calving -- where huge chunks of ice break off from glaciers and float out to sea -- was the main source of Antarctic ice loss. Using satellite...

Underlying Ocean Water Melting Ice Shelf, Accelerating Glacier Movement
2013-09-13 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Rising ocean temperatures, not atmospheric temperatures, are melting the Antarctic floating ice shelf Pine Island Glacier and possibly other ice shelves, an international team of researchers found. The scientists examined the remote glacier, which represents a major outlet of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, in hopes shedding new light behind its rapid thinning in recent years. By placing a variety of instruments deep below the ice's surface and using radar to map the underside of the ice shelf...
