ScienceDaily: 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 Antarctica's 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...

Fracking operations get closer to drinking water sources than we thought

Grist: Fracking companies have tried their best to quell the publics fears about the practice. But, uh, theyre not doing a very good job of it. A new study shows that oil and gas companies are fracking at much shallower depths than previously thought - sometimes even through potential underground sources of drinking water. To be clear, the study - which looked at the fracking operations at two geological formations in Wyoming - did not find current drinking water sources to be contaminated. But Stanford...

Keystone XL could be even worse than you thought
2014-08-11 19:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: If the Keystone XL pipeline is built, it could lead to up to four times as much CO2 pollution as the State Department has estimated, according to a new study. And the study wasnt written by activists. It was conducted by scientists at the Stockholm Environment Institute and published in the journal Nature Climate Change. Why are these new figures so much higher than previous ones? The Associated Press explains: The U.S. [State Department's] estimates didnt take into account that the added oil...
Keystone XL carbon emissions 'would be four times higher than US thought'
2014-08-11 04:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: The much-debated Keystone XL pipeline could produce four times more global warming pollution than the State Department calculated earlier this year, a new study concludes. The US estimates didnt take into account that the added oil from the pipeline would drop prices by about $3 a barrel, spurring consumption that would create more pollution, the researchers said. The researchers estimate that the proposed pipeline, which would carry oil from tar sands in western Canada to refineries on the...
