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...

The Arctic tern sets world record by flying twice round the world
2016-06-10 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: An Arctic tern, which measures 11-15 inches in length and weighs about a 100 grams, has set the record straight for the longest migration trip ever recorded. One may be fooled by the size of this tiny seabird that travelled the equivalent of flying twice around the planet. The bird did a whopping 59,650 miles during its migration trip to Antarctica and back. The total distance covered by the incredible seabird of the tern family, Sternidae, was more than twice the planet's circumference. The birds...
Wobbly jet stream is sending the melting Arctic into 'uncharted territory'
2016-06-10 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: Extraordinary melting in Greenland's ice sheet last summer was linked to warm air delivered by the wandering jet stream, a phenomenon that scientists have increasingly tied to global warming. This interplay of climate phenomena, described in a new study in the journal Nature Communications, is more evidence of the complex ways in which the Arctic's climate is heading for "uncharted territory," said the study's lead author, Marco Tedesco. The study adds to an emerging theory on the effects of...
