The oceans are heating up a lot more quickly than we thought

Salon: Turns out, the upper layer of the Southern Hemisphere`s oceans has been heating up faster than we thought. A lot faster: according to the new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, since 1970 it`s been warming about 24 to 58 percent more quickly than models suggested. The thing that was surprising to me was the magnitude of this underestimation, Paul Durack, an oceanographer with DOEs Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and the study`s lead author, told Science....
The world is warming faster than we thought

New Scientist: It's worse than we thought. Scientists may have hugely underestimated the extent of global warming because temperature readings from southern hemisphere seas were inaccurate. Comparisons of direct measurements with satellite data and climate models suggest that the oceans of the southern hemisphere have been sucking up more than twice as much of the heat trapped by our excess greenhouse gases than previously calculated. This means we may have underestimated the extent to which our world has been...
Greenland Ice Sheet more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought

ScienceDaily: A new model developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge has shown that despite its apparent stability, the massive ice sheet covering most of Greenland is more sensitive to climate change than earlier estimates have suggested, which would accelerate the rising sea levels that threaten coastal communities worldwide. In addition to assessing the impact of the increasing levels of meltwater created and spilled into the ocean each year as the climate continues to warm, the new model also...
