Plant gases can counteract Arctic climate change
2016-04-07 01:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Plant gasses possibly dampen the temperature rise in Greenland. Plants emit compounds to deter pests or attract pollinators, and as a side effect particles are formed when the compounds interact in the air. These particles can contribute to the formation of clouds, which reflect incoming solar radiation, and thus prevent solar heat from reaching the ground and warming it additionally. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have studied the effect of the imminent climate changes on the release...

Shrinking Arctic ice is impacting Greenland melting
2016-04-02 01:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Vanishing Arctic sea ice. Dogged weather systems over Greenland. Far-flung surface ice melting on the massive island. 'Blocking-high' pressure systems spawn most of the warming that melts Greenland surface ice Rutgers study says. These dramatic trends and global sea-level rise are linked, according to a study coauthored by Jennifer Francis, a research professor in Rutgers University's Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences. During Greenland summers, melting Arctic sea ice favors stronger...

Arctic sea ice falls to record low for winter
2016-03-29 10:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: Arctic sea ice fell to its lowest winter extent in recorded history for a second straight year, according to scientists at the National Snow and Ice Data Center and NASA. Ice cover in the polar region averaged 14.52 million square kilometres (5.607 m sq miles) on March 24, the US science agencies said in a statement on Monday. Arctic sea ice appears to have reached a record low wintertime maximum for 2nd year in a row https://t.co/L2Ki4T2FK9 pic.twitter.com/WUsnLikuh6 -- NASA (@NASA) March...
Arctic sea ice reaches new record low mark for wintertime
2016-03-29 06:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: Arctic sea ice hit a record low level for the second straight year this month amid high winter temperatures over the Arctic Ocean, according to scientists. The National Snow and Ice Data Centre says ice covered a maximum of 5.607 million square miles of the Arctic Ocean in 2016. That's 5,000 square miles less than the old record set in 2015 - a difference slightly smaller than the state of Connecticut. It's also 431,000 square miles less than the 30-year average. That difference is the size...
2016 Arctic sea ice wintertime extent hits another record low
2016-03-29 05:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Arctic sea ice appears to have reached a record low wintertime maximum extent for the second year in a row, according to scientists at the NASA-supported National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) and NASA. Every year, the cap of frozen seawater floating on top of the Arctic Ocean and its neighboring seas melts during the spring and summer and grows back in the fall and winter months, reaching its maximum yearly extent between February and April. On March 24, Arctic sea ice extent peaked at 5.607...
