Warmer seas could cause faster melting of Antarctic ice leading to rising sea levels, says study
2014-12-05 11:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Warming water under Antarcticas ice shelves risks ice melting that could lead to a worrying rise in global sea levels, research has shown. Loss of the Antarctic ice shelves, which extend from the southern polar land mass over the underwater continental shelf, are likely to result in the glaciers behind them flowing more rapidly into the sea. That would feed more melting ice into the oceans, pushing up sea levels. Total melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet, which is close to the regions...
Seas are rising in weird, new ways

Grist: Here`s a fun fact about "sea-level rise": The seas aren`t actually level to begin with. Because of predictable, long-term patterns in climate, global winds push more water into some oceans than others. This leaves the seven seas (not really a thing) divided into six basins (actually a thing). Water in these interconnected systems can slosh around to different areas while the overall volume stays the same -- much like water in a bathtub. Or so we thought! Last month in the super-sexy-sounding...

EPA: Climate change cant be stopped, prepare for wildfires, hurricanes, rising seas
2014-10-31 19:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blaze: The Environmental Protection Agency released a grim report Friday that said it must start planning for the worst possible effects of climate change, and predicted a future world filled with rising sea levels, raging wildfires and more severe storms. All of these factors will combine to create droughts, expose humans to dangerous chemicals and create other conditions that will put the human race at risk. The EPA says climate change can`t be stopped, and is preparing for the worst. "These...
