Fast sea level rise is a very recent change

StudentScience: Sea levels have been rising pretty quickly over the past two decades on average, about 3 millimeters (0.12 inch) per year. Scientists had known that this rate of rise was speeding up. But new data indicate that, compared to 25 years ago or more, those recent increases are far steeper than previously realized. That could boost how much scientists expect seas will rise in coming decades. Such information is important for people living near coastlines. Carling Hay was on a team of scientists that...

International Maritime Bureau's (IMB) annual piracy report has revealed that piracy at sea has dropped to its lowest level in eight years, a 44% fall since Somali piracy peaked in 2011.
Sea Level Rise Accelerating Faster Than Thought

Climate Central: The acceleration of the rate of sea level rise over the past couple decades is even higher than scientists had thought, according to a new study that uses a novel method to estimate the global rise of the oceans. The reason? The rate of rise across the 20th century has actually been overestimated -- by as much as 30 percent -- meaning there's been a bigger jump in sea level rise rates from the beginning of the 1900s to now than previously thought. "The acceleration over the 20th century is...
Sea level rise threatening Kennedy Space Center in Florida
2014-12-05 21:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Rising seas and pounding waves driven by climate change are chipping away at the coast near the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, threatening launch pads and future operations, scientists said on Friday. "There's reason to be nervous now because the problem is so obvious," Peter Adams, a geology professor at the University of Florida, told Reuters. Adams and fellow University of Florida geologist John Jaeger released their findings on a day when the space center on Floridas east coast was celebrating...
