For the past few thousand years, the orbit of the Earth and the changing tilt of its axis has put the Arctic 630,000 miles further from the sun than...http://www.newser.com/story/68554/climate-change-reverses-8-millennia-of-arctic-cooling.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 03 Sep 2009 16:09:44 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/55671/white-house-mulls-drastic-action-on-climate-change.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagGlobal warming may get to the point where drastic "geo-engineering" measures to cool the earth will be necessary, President Obama’s top science adviser tells the AP. John Holdren said shooting reflective particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect some sunlight is a last resort, but one he's raised with other...http://www.newser.com/story/55671/white-house-mulls-drastic-action-on-climate-change.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagWed, 08 Apr 2009 14:27:07 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/51946/climate-alarmists-are-off-base-george-will.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagGeorge Will set off a flurry of criticism this month with a column that questioned global warming. In his Post column today, he's not backing down, taking particular aim at the New York Times —long “a megaphone for the alarmed.” A Times article by Andrew Revkin asserted that “experts” attacked...http://www.newser.com/story/51946/climate-alarmists-are-off-base-george-will.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagFri, 27 Feb 2009 9:55:35 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/45420/arctic-melt-speeds-up.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThe Arctic is warming faster than the rest of the world, scientists have found, in a phenomenon not expected for at least another decade. This fall, temperatures in some areas of the Arctic were as much as 10 degrees warmer than normal thanks to Arctic amplification, which could mean the...http://www.newser.com/story/45420/arctic-melt-speeds-up.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagTue, 16 Dec 2008 9:27:01 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/43279/early-plankton-blooming-may-starve-ocean-creatures.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagA vast and colorful explosion of life in the Arctic Sea—the sudden, unprecedented blossoming of phytoplankton prompted by warming waters—could spell death for untold numbers of creatures, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Phytoplankton, a microscopic but vital part of the food chain, is blooming—and swiftly dying—at...http://www.newser.com/story/43279/early-plankton-blooming-may-starve-ocean-creatures.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagFri, 21 Nov 2008 6:23:19 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/37606/arctic-ice-at-2nd-smallest-level.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagArctic sea ice shrunk to its second-lowest size this summer, up 10% from last year's record, reports Reuters. The melting may not appear as noteworthy as that of 2007, said one research scientist, but the season's conditions prove otherwise. Last year's mix of warm air and favorable winds shifted the...http://www.newser.com/story/37606/arctic-ice-at-2nd-smallest-level.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagWed, 17 Sep 2008 14:26:01 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/36058/both-arctic-passages-navigable-for-first-time.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagIn what scientists say is an historic moment, both Northeast and Northwest Passages are navigable as of this week, and shipping firms are salivating over the possibilities, Der Spiegel reports. With an increasing number of largely ice-free days every summer, the radical shortcuts offered by the once-treacherous routes will eventually...http://www.newser.com/story/36058/both-arctic-passages-navigable-for-first-time.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 28 Aug 2008 15:41:01 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/31042/polar-meltdown-threatened-this-summer.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThe North Pole may become free of ice this summer for the first time in human history. Thick Arctic sea ice that normally covers the polar region has been replaced by ice that formed only in the last year and is susceptible to seasonal melting, reports the Independent.

Scientists say the huge shelves are disintegrating; pieces become "ice islands" that can float hundreds of miles away as climate changes takes hold.
