Environmental News Network: The study, published this week in the journal Nature, focuses on thermokarst lakes, which occur as permafrost thaws and creates surface depressions that fill with melted fresh water, converting what was previously frozen land into lakes. The research suggests that arctic thermokarst lakes are "net climate coolers" when observed over longer, millennial, time scales. "Until now, we've only thought of thermokarst lakes as positive contributors to climate warming," said lead researcher Katey Walter...

Thanks to that black helmet, she's walking through the woods. In a minute, she's handed a joystick...

New York Times: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released State of the Climate, 2013 a useful compendium of trends and climate events last year. Visit climate.gov to click for the data on Arctic conditions, sea level change, severe storms and more. The report is also being published as a supplement to the July issue of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. Here are some of the bullet points from the news release: - Greenhouse gases continued to climb: Major greenhouse...
