As Arctic ice melts, US military adapting strategy, forces

Reuters: U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced on Friday the Pentagon's first Arctic strategy to guide changes in military planning as rapidly thawing ice reshapes global commerce and energy exploration, possibly raising tensions along the way. Ice on the Arctic Ocean shrank last year to its lowest levels since satellite observations began in the 1970s, and many experts expect it will vanish in summers by mid-century due to climate change. As the sea ice thaws, ships are increasingly using a...

Poles apart: Sea ice melts and grows
2013-10-06 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: It`s one of the most closely-watched questions in climate science: how fast is the Arctic sea ice melting?

As Antarctic sea ice melts, seaweed smothers seafloor

Live Science: Seaweed could smother polar underwater ecosystems as melting sea ice exposes the seafloor to more sunlight, new research shows. Animals that dwell on the seafloor of the Arctic and Antarctic spend most of their lives in total darkness: Sea ice blocks rays during the spring and early summer, and the sun sets completely in the winter. Late summer and early fall when the ocean warms up enough to thaw the ice often marks the only time these critters see light. But as climate change causes sea ice...
