Runaway global warming becomes concern permafrost melts

ClimateWire: In a fragile landscape where footsteps leave an imprint for years, Jennifer Baltzer stood and surveyed the surrounding bog of green sphagnum moss. Black spruce trees tilted here and there like drunkards. Using a metal rod, Baltzer, an ecologist with Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, pierced the ground near a spruce. "You are jamming into ice there," she said. Without that freeze, the unstable spruce trees would entirely lose their footing and drown. Goose Lake is at the knife's...

Erik Bergstroem, a power manager at Scandem AB, says if the wet weather continues, prices will probably slump more than 50 percent in July to levels not seen for three years.

The Arctic's Ponds Are Disappearing Even As the Region Melts
2015-03-15 00:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: New research has revealed that the Arctic is losing its ponds, with the important habitats shrinking more every day. This may seem like a strange revelation for some, as past research has revealed that the Arctic continues to melt in the wake of climate change. Wouldn't more melt water mean more ponds? Now, a pair of researchers explain what's really going on. "Plants are taking over shallow ponds because they're becoming warm and nutrient-rich," Christian Anderson, a postdoctoral fellow at the...
