Global Warming: Melting Greenland ice linked to Arctic amplification
2016-06-12 07:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
DNA: The Greenland ice sheet holds enough ice that it could raise the average global sea level by about 7 metres if it were to melt entirely. Scientists have found the first evidence that links melting ice in Greenland to Arctic amplification - faster warming of the Arctic compared to the rest of the Northern Hemisphere as sea ice disappears. The findings show that the predicted effects of Arctic amplification, as described in previous studies, occurred over northern Greenland during summer last...

Weird jet stream behavior could be making Greenlands melting even worse, scientists say
2016-06-11 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: The vast northern ice sheet of Greenland melts every summer, pooling lakes of meltwater on its surface and losing fleets of icebergs from its finger-like glaciers. Thats not surprising -- its summer -- although in a warming climate, there are reasons to think these melt seasons are getting more intense, pouring more and more freshwater into the ocean. But when a group of scientists looked back at the last summer melt season -- 2015 -- they found something odd and troubling. Specifically,...

Wobbly jet stream is sending the melting Arctic into 'uncharted territory'
2016-06-10 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: Extraordinary melting in Greenland's ice sheet last summer was linked to warm air delivered by the wandering jet stream, a phenomenon that scientists have increasingly tied to global warming. This interplay of climate phenomena, described in a new study in the journal Nature Communications, is more evidence of the complex ways in which the Arctic's climate is heading for "uncharted territory," said the study's lead author, Marco Tedesco. The study adds to an emerging theory on the effects of...

Arctic, Greenland Stuck in Feedback Loop of Melting
2016-06-10 15:48:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Nexus: Diminishing Arctic sea ice could make Greenlands melting even worse, a new study shows. Changing temperatures at the poles driven by global warming have the potential to impact the jet stream, causing it to bend further north than usual. Blocking events caused by the jet stream that exacerbate ice melt have become increasingly common over Greenland since the 1850s. Accelerating Greenlands melt could not only cause increased sea level rise but a slew of other climate impacts connected to changing...

Global warming melting Arctic regions, climate change is happeing everywhere
2016-06-06 13:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Indian Express: Global warming melting Arctic regions, climate change is happening everywhere: NASA Global warming melting Arctic regions, climate change is happening everywhere: NASA Temperatures are warming faster in the Arctic than elsewhere, which has led to longer seasons for plants to grow in and changes to the soils. A new NASA study has found out that due to the changing climate, Arctic regions of North America are getting greener, with almost a third of the land cover looking more like landscapes...
