Reuters: China will encourage ships flying its flag to take the Northwest Passage via the Arctic Ocean, a route opened up by global warming, to cut travel times between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, a state-run newspaper said on Wednesday. China is increasingly active in the polar region, becoming one of the biggest mining investors in Greenland and agreeing a free trade deal with Iceland. In 2013, the Arctic Council admitted emerging powers China and India as observers. Shorter shipping routes across...

Guardian: Every year at about this time, a Russian cargo plane deposits many tonnes of equipment on an ice floe one degree off the north pole. There, at the 89th parallel, engineers begin construction of a private ice air strip and base camp for scientists, adventurers and, more than ever, wealthy tourists. From the camp, its a seven- to 10-day trudge by dog sled or ski or, for those less fit or in a hurry, a 40-minute helicopter ride to get to a location where they can legitimately power up the satellite...

EcoWatch: The decline of Arctic sea ice is already setting records in 2016, with the winter peak in March clocking in as the lowest since satellite records began, scientists say. A new and fuller summary of this years Arctic winter by the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC) confirms the preliminary announcement last week that sea ice reached its annual maximum extent on March 24 this year. Covering an area of 14.52m square kilometers, this years peak winter extent is a shade smaller than...
Plant Gases Could Slow Arctic Climate Change
2016-04-07 03:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sci-Tech Today: Plants release an array of gases called biogenic volatile organic compounds, or BVOCs, which work to attract beneficial insects and pollinators, while repelling pests. New research shows BVOCs are extremely sensitive to climate change and may help slow warming in the Arctic. When researchers from the University of Copenhagen exposed plants in the Arctic tundra to warmer temperatures, they found a dramatic increase in the release of BVOCs. "It seems that 3 to 4 times more biogenic volatiles are...
