The world is adept at balancing the warming gases in its atmosphere, but anthropogenic climate change is challenging this balance. A new study reports that 34 percent of the Arctic-boreal zone (ABZ) is actually releasing more carbon than its storing, and that number climbs to 40 percent when considering wildfires.

A combat air patrol of American and Canadian fighter jets was scrambled this week after multiple Russian warplanes were spotted in the Arctic, the North American Aerospace Defense Command said Thursday,

We had a brief break yesterday from our active weather pattern and wintry precipitation, but the blast of Arctic cold air was a reminder that winter is still in full force as temperatures hovered in the 20s across the Boston area.

A relatively small amount of groundwater trickling through Alaska's tundra is releasing huge quantities of carbon into the ocean, where it can contribute to climate change, according to new research out of The University of Texas at Austin.

One of Moscow's nuclear icebreakers has sustained significant damage after colliding with a cargo ship in the Kara Sea.

Bodø/Glimt is an unlikely presence among Europe’s footballing elite, but this Norwegian team from the Arctic Circle has grand ambitions.

Norway, which is NATO's monitor for a vast 2 million sq km area of the North Atlantic used by the Russian Northern Fleet's nuclear submarines, says it will invest in long-range surveillance drones for a planned Arctic base.

The Arctic's "Last Ice Area" (LIA)—a vital habitat for ice-dependent species—might disappear within a decade after the central Arctic Ocean becomes ice-free in summer, which is expected to occur sometime around mid-century,

Denmark said on Monday it would spend 14.6 billion Danish kroner ($2.05 billion) boosting its military capabilities in the Arctic – a decision that comes amid continuing furor following US President Donald Trump’s renewed interest in controlling Greenland,

Investment in Pituffik has been inconsistent, however, and its importance has waned since the Cold War. Renewed attention to Greenland could help the U.S. counter Russia’s growing Arctic dominance and China’s ambitions as a “near-Arctic” power.

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory in southwest suburban Lemont are taking a close look at how that Arctic weather is impacting weather in the Chicago area, and how climate change plays a role.

Even minor temperature changes show drastic impacts on Earth's North and South poles and soon one of them will turn ice-free.
