Outsiders in the Arctic: The roar of ice cracking
2013-02-02 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Economist: SOMETIMES a small event gives you mental whiplash. An example is Singapores application for permanent observer status at the Arctic Council. This is made up of the eight states that have territory within the Arctic circle: the United States, Canada, Denmark (representing Greenland and the Faroes), Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia and Sweden. But Singapore sits at the equator, as far from either pole as it is possible to be. How can it be interested? The answer is that in 2012, as the summer ice...

Major Storm Accelerated Arctic Sea Ice Loss, Study Finds
2013-02-02 02:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The "Great Arctic Cyclone of 2012," which struck the Arctic at the height of the sea ice melt season in early August, was not responsible for causing sea ice extent to plunge to a record low just a few weeks later. That is one of the conclusions of a new study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. It is the first study to quantify the impacts that the storm had on the fragile Arctic sea ice cover, which has been rapidly shrinking and thinning in response to rapid Arctic warming....

Arctic Cyclone Had Insignificant Impact on 2012 Ice Retreat
2013-01-31 17:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Last summer, after an extraordinary storm swirled across the Arctic Ocean, churning sea ice like some great Waring blender, much was speculated about the cyclone`s role in the enormous retreat of sea ice that followed. A new modeling study by the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington, replaying last summer`s Arctic Ocean ice conditions with and without the storm, shows that the short-term influence of all that ice churning probably played almost no role in the final ice retreat...
