Arctic Sea Ice Levels Hit Record Low, Reducing black carbon and other short-lived climate pollutants key to slowing Arctic warming
Washington, DC 28 August 2012 – Arctic sea ice has hit record lows with weeks still to go in the melt season, an indication of accelerating global warming. Arctic sea ice has reached the lowest level

Arctic sea ice at record low, expected to keep on melting
The world's Arctic ice cap has shrunk to a new low, surpassing a record set only five years ago, and is expected to keep retreating for a few more weeks, according to U.S. data released on Monday. The

Arctic ice cap shrinks to lowest level yet recorded
ARCTIC ice has shrunk to the lowest level ever recorded, according to satellite data from the past week that shows a massive melt is still under way. The ice cap had contracted to just over 4 million

Glaciers in IHK melting fast: European scientists
The glaciers in Indian occupied Kashmir are melting by more than half a meter every year, but its long-term impact remains unknown in the absence of water data from downstream rivers, European scientists

Contrasting patterns of early twenty-first-century glacier mass change in the Himalayas
Glaciers are among the best indicators of terrestrial climate variability, contribute importantly to water resources in many mountainous regions and are a major contributor to global sea level rise. In

Himalayan glaciers in the balance
A measurement by satellite altimetry shows the Himalayan glaciers to be losing mass at only moderate rates, but raises broader questions about other methods for estimating mass balance.

Arctic sea ice may vanish in 10 years
Due To Global Warming, Meltdown Is 50% Faster Than Estimates: Experts London: Arctic sea ice could vanish within 10 years as it is melting much faster than previously believed, thanks to global warming,

Relative outcomes of climate change mitigation related to global temperature versus sea-level rise
A modelling study shows that cutting greenhouse-gas emissions has the potential to stabilize global temperature increases, but predicts that sea level will continue to rise for centuries, and rapidly so,
