Inquisitr: World scientists are all geared up for a historic scientific expedition around the southern continent of Antarctica later this year. The expedition will involve researchers looking to circumnavigate the entire southern continent over a three-month journey in order to study the impact of climate change in the region for the first time. The Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition, or ACE, will involve over 50 scientists from 30 countries who will embark on the Russian vessel Akademik Treshnikov in December...

Fate of worlds coastlines rests on melting Antarctic ice
2016-04-22 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Councilmembers of an island town in Georgia met in a police station near sandy beaches last week to mull a plan for coping with worsening floods. The meeting followed unprecedented king tide floods in the fall that inundated the island and nearby Savannah, and shut down the highway that connects them. "We've had more frequent flooding in areas that haven't flooded before,' said Jason Buelterman, mayor of the beach town on the eastern shore of Tybee Island, where the population of a few thousand...

Antarctic Melting Could Double Sea-Level Rise
2016-04-12 14:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CourtHouse News: Scientists have underestimated the impact of Antarctic ice-sheet melting on global sea levels, which one group of researchers now believe may rise 50 feet in the next 500 years if greenhouse gas emissions continue. The massive West Antarctic ice sheet - one of the final leftovers from the last ice age - is larger than Mexico, and capable of raising global sea level by 12 feet or more due to its significant width and depth. While scientists had presumed that it would take hundreds of years for...
