Greenland's ice melt accelerating as surface darkens, raising sea levels
2016-03-03 19:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Greenlands vast ice sheet is in the grip of a dramatic feedback loop where the surface has been getting darker and less reflective of the sun, helping accelerate the melting of ice and fuelling sea level rises, new research has found. The snowy surface of Greenland started becoming significantly less reflective of solar radiation from around 1996, the analysis found, with the ice absorbing 2% more solar energy per decade from this point. At the same time, summer near-surface temperatures in...
Another month, another troubling Arctic sea ice record
2016-03-03 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: This year is quickly excising 2015 from the dubious top of the climate record books. The most freakishly warm month on record, record atmospheric heat in February and now for the second month in a row, a new monthly Arctic sea ice low. February saw record low sea ice extent, with ice running a significant 448,000 square miles below average. In essence, a chunk of ice four times the size of Arizona went missing in action from the Arctic. The number would be even more pronounced if not for a small...
Rethinking urban landscapes to adapt to rising sea levels
2016-03-03 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Sea levels are rising faster than they have in at least 28 centuries, according to recent research, and by 2100, they are expected to rise by one to four feet -- possibly even higher. If emissions go unchecked and polar ice sheets melt on a large scale, global sea levels could climb by dozens of feet in the coming centuries. From Shanghai and Mumbai to New York and Buenos Aires, even a few feet of sea level rise threatens to flood homes and highways, inundate sewage treatment plants, and contaminate...
