Experts: Global warming means more Antarctic ice
New Zealand Herald | 11 Oct 2012
The ice goes on seemingly forever in a white pancake-flat landscape, stretching farther than ever before. And yet in this confounding region of the world, that spreading ice may be a cockeyed signal of man-made climate change, scientists say.

Return to Bremerhaven
EurekAlert | 11 Oct 2012
(Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres) Polarstern is expected back from the Central Arctic expedition "IceArc" in Bremerhaven on 8 October 2012 after a good two months. 54 scientists and technicians from twelve different countries conducted research on the retreat of the sea ice and the consequences for the Arctic Ocean and its ecosystems over a period of two months in the High North.

Warm North Atlantic ocean causing UK's wet summers, study shows
Guardian Unlimited | 07 Oct 2012
The UK's dismal recent summers can be blamed on a substantial warming of the North Atlantic ocean in the late 1990s, according to new scientific research. The shift has resulted in rain-soaked weather systems being driven into northern Europe, increasing summer rainfall by about a third.The pattern is likely to revert to drier summers and may do so suddenly.

Arctic sea ice shrinks to smallest extent ever recorded
Guardian Unlimited | 14 Sep 2012
Sea ice in the Arctic has shrunk to its smallest extent ever recorded, smashing the previous record minimum and prompting warnings of accelerated climate change.Satellite images show that the rapid summer melt has reduced the area of frozen sea to less than 3.5 million square kilometres this week - less than half the area typically occupied four decades ago.

Vanishing Arctic ice is the planet's white flag of surrender (blog)
Guardian Unlimited | 14 Sep 2012
Our planet is waving the white flag of surrender. But as the polar flag becomes ever more tattered, with holes scorched by hotter ocean waters, humanity pumps ever more globe-warming gases into the air.

Arctic sea ice melt 'may bring harsh winter to Europe'
Guardian Unlimited | 14 Sep 2012
The record loss of Arctic sea ice this summer may mean a cold winter for the UK and northern Europe. The region has been prone to bad winters after summers with very low sea ice, such as 2011 and 2007.

Arctic melt 'like doubling CO2'
BBC | 05 Sep 2012
Expert tells Newsnight the impact of the loss of Arctic ice is equal to 20 extra years of greenhouse gases, as more of the sun's rays are absorbed.

Why The Arctic Sea Ice Death Spiral Matters
thinkprogress.org | 28 Aug 2012
In the past week the Arctic sea ice cover reached an all-time low, several weeks before previous records, several weeks before the end of the melting season. The long-term decline of Arctic sea ice has been incredibly fast, and at this point a sudden reversal of events doesnt seem likely. The question no longer seems to be will we see an ice-free Arctic? but how soon will we see it?

EurekAlert | 15 Aug 2012
Each year scientists predict the low point of Arctic Sea ice. The final predictions were released Aug. 13. But how do they do it? University of Washington researchers used some new techniques this year in hopes of improving the accuracy of their prediction.
