Descending into the World’s Deepest Shaft in the Permafrost Zone
The deepest shaft built on permafrost in Yakutsk, Siberia, more than 150 years ago, was drilled down and reopened for researchers and tourists, who wish to go down through never-melting, frozen soil layers as deep... Arctic CO2 Levels Up - Methane Released. Do humans have time?
Carbon Dioxide levels up - its bad - Methane is worse. Recently scientist reported that humans have not reduced thier carbon footprint on this planet. If anything, we are increasing. This will lead to a relase of a... Mars lander Phoenix struggles with soil sample
"A soil sample from the Martian arctic dug up by the Phoenix probe appears to be too firmly clumped to deliver any particles into the spacecraft's main test instrument, mission experts said.Apparently no testable...Methane liberated from arctic wetlands, 25 x impact C02 destroys Ozone layer
"Global levels of methane had been roughly stable for almost a decade. Rising levels in the Arctic could mean that some of the methane stored away in permafrost is being released, which would have major climatic... A Storehouse of Greenhouse Gases Is Opening in Sibera
"In the permafrost bottom of the 200-meter-deep sea, enormous stores of gas hydrates lie dormant in mighty frozen layers of sediment. The carbon content of the ice-and-methane mixture here is estimated at 540 billion tons. "This submarine hydrate was considered stable until... Doomsday seed bank gears up for business
"OSLO, Norway - Refrigeration units on Friday begin cooling a new doomsday vault dug into an already frigid Arctic mountainside to protect the world's seeds in case of a global catastrophe. Norway blasted... China Makes It Snow
Weather control, usually the domain of James Bond villains*, has taken a big step forward as China claims success in triggering snowfall from clouds seeded with silver iodide."China claimed yesterday to have caused a snowfall for the first time as part of its increasingly...Study says methane a new climate threat (AP)
" WASHINGTON - Global warming gases trapped in the soil are bubbling out of the thawing permafrost in amounts far higher than previously thought and may trigger what researchers warn is a climate time bomb. Methane — a greenhouse gas 23 times more powerful than carbon...Mammoths may roam again after 27,000 years
"BODIES of extinct Ice Age mammals, such as woolly mammoths, that have been frozen in permafrost for thousands of years may contain viable sperm that could be used to bring them back from the dead, scientists said...Permafrost melt could speed up global warming
"Global warming might be significantly worse than expected during the next century because the melting of carbon-rich permafrost in Siberia could expel hundreds of billions of tons of extra greenhouse gases into...climate change is with us -- a decade ago it was conjecture
To stabilise atmospheric CO2 concentrations, CO2 emissions need to be cut by 70 to 80 percent.Polar ice sheets show net loss
In the last five years, the amount of glacier ice dumped into the Atlantic Ocean has doubled.Mount Everest glacier has retreated three miles in 50 years
A similar trend has been documented in glaciers throughout the Himalayas.Global Warming & Ice Meltdown in North America
Submarine sonar measurements indicate that ice thickness has decreased by 4 feet over the last 40 years. Satellite measurements indicate that the area of ice cover has decreased by 7% per decade over the last 30 years.
