Greenland ice melt goes into overdrive after record heat wave
2016-06-14 15:06:44| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: In 2016, Greenland has seemingly been on a mission to prove that it, too, can experience truly warm weather of the sort that is typically confined to far more temperate areas. So far in June, the world's largest island has experienced record warmth that would be considered mild even in the lower 48 states. Take June 9, for example. That day it was warmer in Greenland's capital of Nuuk -- at 75 degrees Fahrenheit, or 24 degrees Celsius, than it was in New York City, which had a high temperature...
Greenland witnessed its highest June temperature ever recorded on Thursday

Washington Post: Nuuk, Greenlands capital, soared to 75 degrees (24 Celsius) Thursday, marking the warmest temperature ever recorded in the Arctic country during June. Nuuk sits on Greenlands southwest coast, where the countrys warmest weather typically occurs. It was warmer in Nuuk than it was in New York City, where the high was only 71 degrees. The Danish Meteorological Institute has confirmed on a preliminary basis that the Nuuk measurement would replace the previous record of 73.8 degrees (23.2 Celsius),...

Melting ice in Greenland linked to faster Arctic warming

Gadgets and Technology: It is also well over a million square kilometers below the average for the month. Ice loss on Greenland is likely driving the loss of frozen cover around the rest of the Arctic. And it broke the prior record low for May by a region larger than California, although not quite as large as Texas. The future of the planet depends upon it. In June of 2015, Greenland underwent record levels of melting ice. The previous record September low was set in 2012. The south saw more snow during summer of 2015...

Study links 2015 melting Greenland ice to faster Arctic warming
2016-06-12 09:34:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
iNews Today: A recent study shows that changes in the jet stream are directly affecting ice melt in Greenland. The result could be the latter warmer air being pushed further north causing even more Arctic warming. "We identified an unusual configuration of the jet stream toward northern Greenland that led to this melt pattern", Mote noted. A new study has blamed Arctic amplification for the loss of ice in Greenland. Greenland possesses the second-largest ice sheet in the world, behind only Antarctica. If...
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...
