Global Warming: 10-13 Feet Increased Sea Levels Once East Antarctica Melts
2014-05-08 22:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
IBT: East Antarctica, largely receiving small attention before, has now become the focus of a study where if it succumbs to global warming and melts could push sea levels to rise by 10-13 feet high, enough to drown coastal cities from Tokyo to Mumbai to New York. The world's fifth-largest continent, Antarctica is divided into two unequal halves. The ice in West Antarctica goes through below sea level up to the ocean floor. The ice on East Antarctica, however, sits on a landmass that is above sea level....
Natural Variations May Account for Up to Half of Greenland's Warming
2014-05-08 18:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Up to half of the recent climate change in Greenland and surrounding regions which have warmed at roughly twice the pace of the rest of the planet since 1979 may be due to natural climate variations that originate in the tropical Pacific and are not connected with the overall warming of the Earth, a new study says. Still, at least half the warming remains attributable to rising global carbon dioxide emissions, according to research published in the journal Nature. Climate data and advanced computer...

El Nio Chances Jump To Near 80%. Add In Global Warming And We Face Record Heat
2014-05-08 14:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: The chances of an El Nio developing this year are now at almost 4 out of 5. The chart above from NASA makes clear El Nios are generally the hottest years on record - since the regional warming adds to the underlying man-made global trend. The chart below is the consensus forecast for the El Nio Southern Oscillation (ENSO) from NOAA`s Climate Prediction Center (CPC) and the International Research Institute (IRI) for Climate and Society: If this El Nio does start fairly quickly and become...
Greenland melting due equally to global warming, natural variation
2014-05-08 01:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The rapid melting of Greenland glaciers is captured in the documentary "Chasing Ice." The retreat of the ice edge from one year to the next sends more water into the sea. Now University of Washington atmospheric scientists have estimated that up to half of the recent warming in Greenland and surrounding areas may be due to climate variations that originate in the tropical Pacific and are not connected with the overall warming of the planet. Still, at least half the warming remains attributable...
