Climate News Network: Being a traffic policeman in Kolkata is a life-threatening business. Not only are you at risk of being run over on the traffic-clogged roads and streets of this chaotic city of 14 million -- you're also more than likely to suffer from serious health problems due to some of the worst air pollution not just in India, but in the world. According to a 2012 report by the New Delhi-based Center for Science and Environment on air quality in Kolkata, seven out of every 10 people in the city suffer from...

South America glacier decline linked with global warming

Summit Voice: Geologists are getting better at unraveling the mysteries of historic glacial episodes, as technology helps understand how the ice sheets respond to climate change. One recent research project led by scientists from Dartmouth University suggests that temperature is the driving factor in shaping the size of Peru`s Quelccaya Ice Cap. The 17-square mile glacier in the Andes has been shrinking dramatically in the past few decades, making it a global warming symbol. The findings support the idea...

Antarctic glacier thinned as rapidly in past
2014-02-22 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: The Pine Island Glacier, which sits on part of west Antarctica, is the single largest contributor to global sea-level rise. That is because the enormous glacier, which constitutes 10 percent of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, is thinning rapidly, allowing more and more of its land-based ice to reach the sea. How fast this rapid thinning goes on, and for how long, will determine how quickly sea levels rise in the future. Now, a group of researchers from the British Antarctic Survey, working with...

Melting of Antarcticas Pine Island glacier may continue for centuries

Blue and Green: The rapidly melting Pine Island glacier in West Antarctica may be the biggest contributor to rising sea levels over the next few decades, a new study has suggested. The research, published in the journal Science, found that the largest glacier in Antarctica may be recreating 8,000-year-old history. Scientists from the US, UK and Germany found that the glacier also thinned in the Early Holocene, in a melt that may have lasted for centuries. The Pine Island glacier has currently been thinning...
