What's going on with polar ice sheets?
2016-02-12 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Recent measurements show that the Arctics sea ice extent in January was the lowest ever in the satellite record, while the Antarctic also saw lower than average ice coverage last month and a major ice sheet there could be verging on instability. The reports come at a time when climate and polar researchers are investigating the potential for heavy melting of ice sheets in the Arctic and Antarctic, and the effects the loss of the ice could have on global sea levels. According to the National...

The solution for melting polar ice caps may be hiding in rainforest
2016-01-11 12:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: There was already dramatic evidence that our planet is undeniably warming before 30 December 2015, when the world heard that the ice at the North Pole was melting. (The temperature on 30 December 2015 was, by some reports, 33F [0.7C], 50F above average). And yet one immediate, effective way to fight climate change and save polar ice caps is half a world away, in the tropics. Tropical forest conservation and restoration could constitute half of the global warming solution, according to a recent...
