Arctic Sea Ice Thinning Even Faster Than U.N. Reported: MIT

Researchers from MIT criticized the United Nations' global climate report, saying it seriously underestimated the speed of Arctic sea ice loss.

UN Clueless about Arctic Sea Ice Thinning: MIT

Researchers from MIT attacked the United Nations' recent global climate report and said that the U.N. underestimated the severity of Arctic sea ice melting. MIT's research team said that the thinning is probably happened four times more quickly than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted.

Arctic Sea Ice Could Make a Short Comeback, Even Expand Over the Next Decade

Using computer modeling studies scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, or NCAR, unexpectedly found that Arctic ice, under existing climate conditions, is as likely to expand as it is to contract for periods of up to about a decade. The study can be read in the Geophysical Research Letters.

UN Climate Report Fails to Capture Arctic Ice Thinning Reality: MIT

The United Nations' most recent global climate report "fails to capture trends in Arctic sea-ice thinning and drift, and in some cases substantially underestimates these trends," says a new research from MIT.

Arctic Sea Ice May Temporarily Stabilize

Arctic sea ice may be fated to melt away with the continuous warming of the climate, but it could temporarily stabilize - maybe even expand ? over the next few decades, scientists in Boulder, Colo. say. Computer modeling studies done by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, or NCAR, has reinforced previous findings that the level of Arctic sea ice loss seen in recent decades can't be explained only by natural causes, and that the ice will sooner or later disappear durin...

Global Warming a Hoax? NASA Reveals Earth Releasing Heat into Space

Global warming predictions have followed UN models and trends in describing how Earth traps heat due to carbon dioxide. The increased gases and rising temperatures would create large amounts of water vapors to develop into clouds. Those clouds would trap larger amounts of heat and devastate the planet's ecosystem leading to the end of mankind.
