The Ice Age Cometh
Mark Boardman asked: This winter (2007-2008) snow fall and snow cover has been at its greatest over North America, Siberia and China since 1966. And the Arctic ice sheet, which for so long has been all but doomed by modern climate models, has had a resurgence. Of course, this is just one winter and the next one could continue the warming trend of the last 2 decades. However there are now two big reasons why it could be possible that we are on the brink of a new ice age.Firstly there is the global circulation of the ocean currents which ...
Greenland is Losing Glaciers: an Ice-free Greenland in 2040?
ciel s cantoria asked: Global warming and the resulting rise in the Earth's temperature is causing chunks of ice to melt faster than what was expected. In fact sicentists say that the rate by which the ice is melting in Greenland is way ahead by thirty years based on their previous studies.The Arctic people, the Inuit Eskimos are finding their houses and roads shifting on what was once frozen grounds. Quite a number are seriously considering relocating before total ice melt down takes place. Even Polar bears are losing their means for hunting seals as frozen seagrounds have melted.Greenland is expected ...
Polar Bears Adaptation to the Cold and Unforgiving Arctic Climate
Frankie Kangas asked: Polar Bear adaptation to the wintery and bitter Northern climate is one of nature's marvels. The shifting sea ice, where polar bear live, is one of the unkindest and most relentless climates on planet earth.It's only in modern evolutionary time that bears adjusted to arctic sea life. It commenced during the Ice Age, in the northern seas, when the seals needed to breathe and mate near the water's surface. By doing this, the seals placed a rich year-round food source near a population of brown bears, who then began to inhabit the ice, developing into something similar ...
Towards 2025 – With Fewer Glaciers and Less Arctic Ice
Mia den Haan asked: Many of the ice structures such as glaciers, ice in mountain areas, and the Arctic icecap are melting. Most of those structures will no longer be in existence within the next twenty years. Much of the Arctic ice has disappeared and many of the glaciers are shrinking. But with all these ice structures visibly melting why are we not becoming more concerned about a future with almost... [Read more about this property...]
After 2025 – What Will Happen When Most Ice Masses Have Disappeared?
Mia den Haan asked: Within the next twenty years almost all of the current ice structure will have melted, however, at present this does not concern most of the world’s population. While it is true that we can live without these ice masses, ecologically this is not sound. The planet’s ecology will not be able to sustain a balanced environment without its glaciers and other ice masses. While most... [Read more about this property...]
Melting Arctic Sea Ice and Global Warming Hype
James William Smith asked: There can be no dispute that the ice over the Arctic is melting pretty fast. Satellite pictures clearly show the extent of the decrease in Arctic ice during the last several years. In fact, observations from instruments on the ground, balloons, and satellites indicate that the Arctic is warming much faster than the rest of the planet.Last year’s seasonal ice shrinkage...

Is Methane The Cause Of Past Ice Age Global Warming?
James Nash asked: By studying gas bubbles frozen in ancient Greenland ice, University of Victoria researchers have dispelled a popular theory that marine gas hydrates caused a significant release of methane gas into the Earth’s atmosphere, triggering a period of global warming at the end of the last ice age.“Understanding the behaviour of global atmospheric methane is important because...
