Fast-Warming Arctic Proves Deadly Animals & People
2014-11-25 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: Migration and feeding is difficult for local reindeer during a critical time of year, as their vegetation food source became encapsulated in ice. In the winter of 2012, the Svalbard archipelago was hit with an extreme weather event of record-breaking heat and rain--a slush avalanche knocked out bridges and roads. Reindeer carcasses littered the landscape, as permafrost warmed and snow-dependent tourism took a major hit. Now, a group of scientists documenting the aftermath of the two-week event...

When ice came to this Arctic mining outpost on the Svalbard archipelago two winters ago, it crippled the community for weeks and devastated wildlife for months. Now, scientists are saying such weather extremes in the Arctic--known as rain-on-snow events--may become more frequent in the future. Its hard to study extreme weather events, which by definition are rare, says...

Reuters: Heavy snow and freezing temperatures blasted across the United States on Tuesday, with Northeast towns declaring emergencies and Southern states bracing for record cold.
