Rapid Arctic sea ice loss could triple the rate of warming over northern Alaska, Canada and Russia and trigger permafrost thawing that unleashes extremely potent greenhouse gases (MSNBC).  The image above shows simulated autumn temperature trends during rapid sea-ice loss.…

The heavy rains across the Mississippi River Basin this spring, coupled with the saturated soils, are expected to produce major flooding along parts of the Mississippi River during the next two weeks, according to the National Weather Service.
