How Earth's Orbit Affects Antarctic Ice Caps
2015-02-04 02:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: The Earth's orbit, while a concept that is light-years away, is hitting close to home, affecting the stability of Eastern Antarctic ice caps, according to a new study. Sea levels in Antarctica are rising or falling by as much as dozens of meters due to simple changes in the Earth's orbit around the Sun. And the site that is most affected is the continental fringe of Wilkes Land in East Antarctica. Analyses of seabed sediments dating back 2.2 to 4.3 million years ago show that natural climatic...

National Geographic: Scientists are having trouble convincing the public that people are changing the climate. A Pew Research Center survey, released last week as part of a broader report on science and society, found that only 50 percent of Americans believe that humans are mostly responsible for climate change, while 87 percent of scientists accept this view. This 37-point gap persists even though thousands of scientists during the past few decades have been involved in publishing detailed reports linking climate...

It's Not All Bad News For Earth's Oceans
2015-02-01 23:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: ARUN RATH, HOST: A recent report on the health of the oceans includes some welcome good news. Ocean habitats seem to be in pretty good shape, at least compared to things on land. Douglas McCauley is an ecologist at UC Santa Barbara and a lead author of the study. DOUGLAS MCCAULEY: To put things into numbers, in the past 500 years, we've seen on land 500 animal extinctions occur. In the oceans - the same time period - only 15 marine animals have been driven extinct. RATH: Now, having seen the whole...

Zee News: According to two separate analyses conducted by scientists of NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the year 2014 ranked as Earth's warmest year since 1880. The 10 warmest years in the instrumental record, with the exception of 1998, have now occurred since 2000. This trend continues a long-term warming of the planet, according to an analysis of surface temperature measurements by scientists at NASAs Goddard Institute of Space Studies. The human race's inability...
