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....
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...

Global warming has never been explained quite so beautifully
2014-05-07 18:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BGR: Climate change and the effects of global warming have been thoroughly and beautifully detailed on two sites. One is GlobalChange.gov, which features the White Houses National Climate Assessment report, and the other is WorldUnderWater.org, a website that uses Google Street view images to show users what their home cities would look under water. The GlobalChange.gov site features rich graphics, plenty of high-quality images and even social integration, resembling a touch-optimized site that sells...

Global warming report warns climate disruption in Maine, New England
2014-05-06 23:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sentinel: From fish migrations to stronger storms overwhelming aging infrastructure, global warming is already affecting life in Maine and other New England states in alarming ways, says a new federal report aimed at pressuring policymakers to take action on climate change. A polar bear roams the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Government scientists predict that two-thirds of the worlds polar bears will be killed off by 2050 and completely gone from Alaska because of thinning sea ice caused by global...

Global Warming Hasn't Been Uniform, Scientists Say
2014-05-05 16:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A new study has found that global warming has been uneven over the past 100 years. The study, conducted by Florida State University scientists, has shown that certain regions of the world have warmed while others cooled. "Global warming was not as understood as we thought," said Zhaohua Wu, an assistant professor of meteorology at FSU. For the study, researchers used a new analysis method to examine data on land surface temperature changes since 1900. The team used data from all over the...
