Scientists find Antarctic ice is melting faster
2013-04-15 08:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The summer ice melt in parts of Antarctica is at its highest level in 1,000 years, Australian and British researchers reported on Monday, adding new evidence of the impact of global warming on sensitive Antarctic glaciers and ice shelves. Researchers from the Australian National University and the British Antarctic Survey found data taken from an ice core also shows the summer ice melt has been 10 times more intense over the past 50 years compared with 600 years ago. "It's definitely evidence...

Antarctic Peninsula melting season is getting longer
2013-04-04 10:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Planet Earth: The summer melting season in the Antarctic Peninsula has lengthened over the last 60 years, new research shows. This is contributing to sea-level rise, and may be linked to the rapid break-up of ice shelves in the area. The Antarctic Peninsula, a mountainous finger of land pointing northwards towards South America, is warming much faster than the rest of Antarctica. Temperatures have risen by almost 3°C since the 1950s -- three times faster than the global average. Scientists think this...

Clouds Helped Enhance Greenlands Record Melting
2013-04-03 21:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: When scientists saw melting across a whopping 97 percent of Greenland's icy surface last summer, they were quick to note that such an event is rare, but not unprecedented. The last time it happened was in 1889, so while manmade global warming is clearly involved it isn't necessarily the entire story. A new new report in Nature on Wednesday has now helped flesh out the explanation: data from Summit Station, at the frozen island's highest point, 10,551 feet above sea level, show that unusually warm...
