Agence France-Presse: Deep, cold ocean currents from the North Atlantic blunt the effect of global warming on Antarctica and slow the rise of sea levels, according to a study published Monday. This icy insulation of the snowy continent -- covered by a sheath of ice up to four kilometres (2.5 miles) thick -- could last for centuries, the research published in Nature Geoscience said. That's good news to hundreds of millions of people in low-lying regions who are threatened by seas set to rise up to a metre by the...

Burning all fossil fuels would scorch Earth: study
2016-05-27 23:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Average temperatures would climb by up to 9.5 degrees Celsius (17 degrees Fahrenheit)-five times the cap on global warming set at climate talks in Paris in December, they reported. In the Arctic region-already heating at more than double the global average-the thermometer would rise an unimaginable 15 C to 20 C. Burning all known reserves of oil, gas and coal would inject about five trillion tonnes of heat-trapping carbon into the atmosphere, mainly in the form of carbon dioxide, a team wrote...
