RSSAn electromagnetic “bird” dispatched to the Arctic for the most detailed look yet at the thickness of the ice has turned up a reassuring picture. The meltdown has not been as dire as some would suggest, said geophysicist Christian Haas of the University of Alberta. His international team flew across the top of the planet [...]
Arctic sea ice reached its maximum extent for the year on March 31 at 15.25 million square kilometers (5.89 million square miles). This was the latest date for the maximum Arctic sea ice extent since the start of the satellite record in 1979. Early in March, Arctic sea ice appeared to reach a maximum extent. [...]
The amount of sea ice covering the Arctic dramatically increased last month, reaching levels not seen at this time of year for nearly a decade. Returning ice – after years of declining cover – has astonished climate scientists who blamed unusually cold weather over the Bering Sea. Researchers said they recorded the most ice in [...]

Much of the record breaking loss of ice in the Arctic ocean in recent years is down to the region’s swirling winds and is not a direct result of global warming, a new study reveals. Ice blown out of the region by Arctic winds can explain around one-third of the steep downward trend in sea [...]
Thousands of passengers reportedly are stuck along with the ships ferrying them in Baltic Sea ice between Stockholm and the Aland Islands, located between Sweden and Finland. Both countries have sent icebreakers to rescue the ships in what is being called the worst Baltic freeze in 15 years. Four ferries of the Viking Line, which [...]
JPL News Release: Missing ‘Ice Arches’ Contributed to 2007 Arctic Ice Loss February 18, 2010 PASADENA, Calif. – In 2007, the Arctic lost a massive amount of thick, multiyear sea ice, contributing to that year’s record-low extent of Arctic sea ice. A new NASA-led study has found that the record loss that year was due [...]
So, the peer reviewed literature, both extant at the time of the AR4 as well as published since the release of the AR4, shows that there has been a significant increase in the extent of sea ice around Antarctica since the time of the first satellite observations observed in the late 1970s. And yet the [...]
Mr Gore, speaking at the Copenhagen climate change summit, stated the latest research showed that the Arctic could be completely ice-free in five years. In his speech, Mr Gore told the conference: “These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the [...]
Al Gore says: 2012 The Catlin/WWF Ice Survey Stunt says as little as 10 years: 2019 (to 2029) The Met Office says: 2060 to 2080 Who out there is up for a trip to Al Gore’s mansion in summer 2012 to celebrate him being correct, or to commiserate with him for being wrong?
