Arctic Sea Ice Extent Doubles from Last Year, Still 6th Lowest on Record
2013-09-21 16:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean recouped from last summer's record low levels, with the amount of ice surviving this summer nearly 50 percent more than in 2012, scientists said Friday. Still, the extent of the Arctic sea was the sixth lowest ever recorded. Compared to the 1981-2010 average, this summer's sea ice minimum -- a reflection of the maximum ice melting in the warm season -- was 432,000 square miles (1.12 million square kilometers) lower than the average, according to data presented by the...
Arctic Sea Ice Minimum in 2013 Is Sixth Lowest On Record
2013-09-21 09:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: After an unusually cold summer in the northernmost latitudes, Arctic sea ice appears to have reached its annual minimum summer extent for 2013 on Sept. 13, the NASA-supported National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado in Boulder has reported. Analysis of satellite data by NSIDC and NASA showed that the sea ice extent shrunk to 1.97 million square miles (5.10 million square kilometers). This year's sea ice extent is substantially higher than last year's record low minimum....
Arctic sea ice reaches seasonal low

BBC: Sea-ice extent in the Arctic appears to have arrived at its yearly minimum, scientists report. The US National Snow and Ice Data Center says this summer's marine floes were reduced in cover to 5.10 million sq km (1.97 million sq mi). This low was reached on 13 September. It represents almost 50% more ice than the spectacular satellite-era record-minimum achieved this time last year - when floes were reduced to just 3.41 million sq km (1.32 million sq mi). The NSIDC describes this summer's...
Draft IPCC report predicts sea levels to rise a metre by end of century
2013-09-19 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Sea levels could rise a metre by the end of the century, according to the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The ABC has obtained a final draft of the report ahead of its official release next Friday. While average land and sea temperatures will continue to rise, it shows the planet is heating at a slower rate. The IPCC predicts anything more than 4 degrees Celsius is unlikely this century. Professor Steve Sherwood from the University of New South Wales...
