Why is Antarctica's sea ice growing while the Arctic melts?
2016-05-31 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inside Climate News: While Arctic ice is melting at a record pace, a team of NASA-led researchers say they can explain why Antarctic sea ice has been edging in the opposite direction. That paradox has puzzled scientists for years and given climate-change deniers fodder to dispute global warming. The group found that the icy winds blowing off Antarctica, as well as a powerful ocean current that circles the frozen continent, are much larger factors in the formation and persistence of Antarctic sea ice than changes in...

Mother Nature Network: 7 monuments, cities and world treasures we could lose to rising sea levels These are just a sample of the things we could lose if temperatures rise 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit over the next 200 years. Every year the worldwide sea level rises about 3 mm. That doesnt sound like much, just a little over a 1/10 of an inch, but even that small rise spread out over the entire ocean is a lot of water. Multiply that over years and decades, factor in an increased rate of rise (thanks to our growing addiction...
