Like Sea Level, Times Environmental Coverage on the Rise

2014-10-08 12:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

New York Times: Its hard to dispute the publics dismay over climate change. When hundreds of thousands of people take to the Manhattan streets, as they did in the Peoples Climate March last month, something big is clearly happening. But a year ago, the signs werent particularly good for coverage of the environment in The New York Times. A special group (or pod) of reporters who had that expertise had been disbanded, and the Green blog had been discontinued. I wrote about it several times, including a column...

Greenland Sediment Sheds Light on Sea Level Rise

2014-10-01 22:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Climate Central: The planets largest island is mostly covered in ice up to 2 miles deep. And what happens to that ice has major implications for sea level rise: Greenlands ice would raise sea levels up to 24 feet higher if it all melted. While the prospects of it all melting are extremely slim and certainly not for centuries and centuries warmer air and water temperatures have pushed enough ice to melt from Greenland each year to account for about 30 percent of recently observed sea level rise. Ice reaches...

Antarctic sea level rising faster than global rate

2014-09-02 07:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: A new study of satellite data from the last 19 years reveals that fresh water from melting glaciers has caused the sea-level around the coast of Antarctica to rise by 2cm more than the global average of 6cm. Researchers at the University of Southampton detected the rapid rise in sea-level by studying satellite scans of a region that spans more than a million square kilometres. The melting of the Antarctic ice sheet and the thinning of floating ice shelves has contributed an excess of around...

Antarctica Could Raise Sea Level Faster Than Previously Thought

2014-08-15 19:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

RedOrbit: Ice discharge from Antarctica could contribute up to 37 centimeters to the global sea level rise within this century, a new study shows. For the first time, an international team of scientists provide a comprehensive estimate on the full range of Antarcticas potential contribution to global sea level rise based on physical computer simulations. Led by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, the study combines a whole set of state-of-the-art climate models and observational data with various...

Antarctica may lift sea level faster in threat to megacities

2014-08-15 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Bloomberg: Antarctica glaciers melting because of global warming may push up sea levels faster than previously believed, potentially threatening megacities including New York and Shanghai, researchers in Germany said. Antarcticas ice discharge may raise sea levels as much as 37 centimeters (14.6 inches) this century if the output of greenhouse gases continues to grow, according to a study led by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. The increase may be as little as 1 centimeter, they said....
