Monitor: Parts of Asia are likely to suffer severe water stress by the middle of this century, according to a new study by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The study, published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One, considered major developing nations notably India and China and modeled their water-use trajectories if no action is taken to restrain either growth or anthropogenic climate change. Under such circumstances, the researchers found that both countries had a roughly...

Seas could rise higher than predicted, drenching coastal cities: study
2016-04-01 01:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Global seas could rise nearly twice as much as previous, widely accepted estimates, according to a study published on Thursday saying low-lying cities face possible disaster by the end of the century. Sea levels could surge more than three feet (0.9 meter) by 2100 from melting Antarctic ice alone, on top of a three-foot rise already predicted, said the study by two American researchers that appeared in the science journal Nature. That same Antarctic ice melt could add nearly 50 feet (15 meters)...

Study: Antarctic ice may melt faster than expected
2016-03-31 10:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Warmer air, less frigid water and gravity may combine to make parts of Antarctica's western ice sheet melt far faster than scientists had thought, raising sea levels much more than expected by the end of the century, according to a new study. New physics-based computer simulations forecast dramatic increases in melting in the vulnerable western edge of the continent. In a worst case scenario, that could raise sea level in 2100 by 18 to 34 inches (46 to 86 centimeters) more than an international...
