Rising sea level threatens coastal restoration, New Orleans levees, scientists say
2015-08-28 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Times-Picayune: Even as Louisiana embarks on a multi-billion-dollar program to begin rebuilding its coast, evidence continues to mount that new coastal land will have to contend with a more rapid rise in sea level than projected in present state plans. NASA officials Wednesday said the present rate of worldwide sea level rise has reached 3 millimeters a year (0.13 inch/year) and is increasing, the result of global warming. That compares to 1.7 millimeters a year for the entire 20th Century and 1.8 millimeters between...
Australia's pollution level seen rising beyond Abbott's target

Bloomberg: Australias greenhouse gas emissions are likely to rise in the next 15 years, missing by a wide margin a target proposed for United Nations talks on global warming, a team of researchers said. Without further policies to stem pollution from fossil fuels, emissions will be 27 percent above 2005 levels by 2030, the researchers at Climate Action Tracker said in a report Friday. The findings cast doubt on a pledge by Prime Minister Tony Abbott to lower emissions by at least 26 percent over the same...

NASA scientists warn of accelerating sea level rise as ice sheets melt
2015-08-28 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: As the world's ice sheets melt in response to warming air and ocean temperatures, global sea level is increasing. This is already putting cities from New York to Shanghai at risk of almost routine flooding from even relatively minor storms. The question facing scientists and policy makers is how much sea level rise they need to plan for in the coming decades, and recent findings are concerning. On Wednesday, NASA scientists said they expect several feet of global sea level rise by the end of...
NASA teleconference on sea level change warns of rising oceans
2015-08-28 04:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Gizmag: On Aug. 26, NASA held a media teleconference regarding current predictions on sea level rise, highlighting the risks to coastal populations in low-lying areas, and the inherent problems in creating reliable global models. A panel of experts from NASA's recently-founded Sea Level Change Team tells us that ocean levels are inexorably on the rise, but gaps in our understanding and ability to survey risk regions mean we don't know just how fast the change will take place. "People need to be prepared...
