Antarctic ice study reveals accelerated sea level rise
2014-03-30 15:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Six massive glaciers in West Antarctica are moving faster than they did 40 years ago, causing more ice to discharge into the ocean and global sea level to rise, according to new research. The amount of ice draining collectively from those half-dozen glaciers increased by 77 percent from 1973 to 2013, scientists report this month in Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union. Pine Island Glacier, the most active of the studied glaciers, has accelerated by 75 percent...
You Can Control Your Own Level Of Happiness

I was privileged to spend some time recently with the operations people at the USDA Meat Animal Research Center near Clay Center, NE. One of the managers within that group mentioned how much he enjoyed his job, but pointed out that there were some days and events that he could do without. My response was that “every job has its cows to milk.” Strategic Planning For The Ranch read more
Slower sea level rise linked to El Nino and natural weather patterns
2014-03-25 08:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RTCC: Slower sea level rise in the past decade is due to the influence of natural weather patterns and especially the El Nino cycle, scientists say. Climate change is causing sea level rise both through thermal expansion, where the sea expands as it warms, and through melting of glaciers and ice sheets, which is adding to the amount of water in the sea. But natural variation can change the rate of sea level rise from year to year. A particularly important short-term influence is the cyclical El...
