Delaware faces sea level rise

2013-02-16 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Delmarva Now: For coastal residents, the reality of Delawares sea level rising is a top concern as the impending threat of water damage may reign true to many during the course of the next few decades. According to Delaware Coastal Management programs of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, 13 inches of sea level rise have been recorded during the past 100 years. It may not seem like much considering its a century of recorded information, but as years continue to pass, the future...

Sea level rise a disaster many decades in the making

2013-01-13 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Adelaide Now: THE plight of the River Murray has shown how environmental disaster can be allowed to sneak up on us despite ample warning, and opportunity for those charged with planning the future, to take preventative action. A prolonged drought threatened to be the straw that broke the river system's back, but the cause of the potential disaster was 100 years of over-extraction of water for human use. Fortunately for the river system and all those who rely on it, at a minute to midnight governments were...

Sea level rise may eclipse 3 feet by 2100, study finds

2013-01-10 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Environment Health: By Andrew Freedman Follow @afreedma A new assessment that gauges the views of leading ice sheet experts finds that scientists think global sea level rise during this century may be far more significant than previously thought, possibly eclipsing 1 meter, or 3.3 feet, by 2100. Such a sharp rise in sea level would inundate heavily populated coastal areas around the world, potentially forcing the relocation of 187 million people, the study said. The new report adds to a growing body of evidence...

Sea level rise could lead to cooler, stormier planet

2013-01-09 19:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

New Scientist: A CATASTROPHIC rise in sea level before the end of the century could have a hitherto unforeseen side effect. Melting icebergs might cool the seas around Greenland and Antarctica so much that the average surface temperature of the planet falls by a degree or two. This is according to unpublished work by climate scientist James Hansen of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City. While it might sound welcome, by the time this occurs the temperature differences produced by the "iceberg...
