Claim: Permafrost carbon feedbacks threaten global climate goals
From the PNAS Abstract Rapid Arctic warming has intensified northern wildfires and is thawing carbon-rich permafrost. Carbon emissions from permafrost thaw and Arctic wildfires, which are not fully accounted for…
Russia Urges the World to Consider the Arctic as an Alternative to the Suez Canal
Russia wants nations to take up its offer to smash channels through the Arctic with its nuclear icebreaker fleet, to reduce global shipping dependency on the Suez Canal.
Study suggests great earthquakes as cause of Arctic warming
MOSCOW INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS AND TECHNOLOGY Research News A researcher from MIPT has proposed a new explanation for the Arctic’s rapid warming. In his recent paper in Geosciences, he suggests that…
Claim: Arctic Ocean–climate change is flooding the remote north with light – and new species
At that time, scientists assumed the polar night was utterly uninteresting. A dead period in which life lies dormant and the ecosystem sinks into a dark and frigid standby mode.…
Rivers melt Arctic ice, warming air and ocean
A new study shows that increased heat from Arctic rivers is melting sea ice in the Arctic Ocean and warming the atmosphere.
Perhaps the dumbest article title ever: “The Arctic hasn’t been this warm for 3 million years”… AEUHHH???
Guest “you can’t fix stupid” by David Middleton The sad thing is that this was apparently written by two geoscience professors. The Arctic hasn’t been this warm for 3 million…
The Arctic “Death Spiral”: Lamenting the Collapse of a 4000 Year Old Ice Shelf
The Guardian wants you to weep for an ice shelf which even they admit didn’t exist back when the Egyptian Pyramids were being constructed. They demand we do everything in…
“Climate Change” is greening the Arctic – and this is bad?
From NASA Goddard:Warming Temperatures are Driving Arctic Greening As Arctic summers warm, Earth’s northern landscapes are changing. Using satellite images to track global tundra ecosystems over decades, a new study…
Greenland Ice CO2 – Chemical Reactions or Natural Variability?
Guest Post By: Renee Hannon IntroductionThis post examines whether CO2 measurements in Greenland ice cores demonstrate natural variability as an alternative hypothesis to in-situ chemical reactions. Twenty years ago, scientists…
Increasing Arctic freshwater is driven by climate change
New, first-of-its-kind research from the University of Colorado Boulder shows that climate change is driving increasing amounts of freshwater in the Arctic Ocean.
Climate Change? Temperature Hits 100 Degrees Above Arctic Circle, Just Like 100 Years Ago

How horses can save the permafrost
New mitigation strategy bears great potential University of Hamburg Permafrost soils in the Arctic are thawing. As they do, large additional quantities of greenhouse gases could be released, accelerating climate…
NASA’s Operation IceBridge Completes Eleven Years of Polar Surveys
From NASA Global Climate Change NASA’s Operation IceBridge, a ten-year mission to collect polar data between ICESat and ICESat-2, may be coming to a close, but its hundreds of terabytes…
NOAA goes Hollywood with “Arctic Report Card” at #AGU19
This was from yesterday, and the AGU made it available on YouTube. I was struck by the “Hollywood” factor in the production. Light on science, big on tear-jerking images. Tuesday,…
Politico: Melting Glaciers Unlocking Vast New Resources is Bad
Politico struggling valiantly to see the bad side of longer growing seasons, more abundant crops and a vast wealth of newly accessible resources. How Russia and China are preparing to…
No laughing matter

Study: ‘Arctic sea ice loss in the last 37 years is not due to humans alone.’
Models show natural swings in the Earth’s climate contribute to Arctic sea ice loss Arctic sea ice loss in the last 37 years is not due to humans alone. By…
Study suggests air pollution is a factor in Arctic ice melt
From the “CO2 isn’t the master climate control knob after all” department and the AGU. Air pollution reduces Arctic cloud lifetime, study suggests WASHINGTON — Fossil fuel emissions from Asia…
Study: dust guided by meandering jet stream has big impact on Arctic melt
