Press Trust of India: Sounding optimistic about crucial UN conference in Paris later this year, Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar today said to overcome the threat of climate change "joint efforts" from all the nations will be required and Paris will show the way. "I am an optimist that we will deal with climate change threat effectively and will overcome it but it requires a joint effort from all countries and Paris is the beginning of the story of the efforts to be made by the mankind," Javadekar said....

Climate Change: Geothermal Heating In West Antarctic Ice Sheet Measured By Scientists
2015-07-13 07:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
HNGN: Heat flowing from the base of the West Antarctic ice sheet is surprisingly high, a new study has revealed. Researchers at the University of California in Santa Cruz probed the sediments in the ice sheet in Antarctica and have uncovered that a flow of heat emanates from its geothermal sources below, according to a press release. The researchers, however, said that this is not a "new phenomenon" that can be attributed to climate change. "The ice sheet developed and evolved with the geothermal...

Surprisingly high geothermal heating beneath West Antarctic Ice Sheet
2015-07-13 06:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The amount of heat flowing toward the base of the West Antarctic ice sheet from geothermal sources deep within Earth is surprisingly high, according to a new study led by UC Santa Cruz researchers. The results, published July 10 in Science Advances, provide important data for researchers trying to predict the fate of the ice sheet, which has experienced rapid melting over the past decade. Lead author Andrew Fisher, professor of Earth and planetary sciences at UC Santa Cruz, emphasized that the geothermal...

Antarctic glaciers thinning so fast, it's like a switch was flipped
2015-05-22 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: A new study has recorded a sudden and rapid thinning of once-stable glaciers along the southern Antarctic Peninsula, demonstrating that significant changes in glacier mass can occur surprisingly quickly as ocean and air temperatures rise. The findings support what researchers have been seeing in other parts of Antarctica, with scientists warning last year that four key glaciers on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet appear to be on the verge of wholesale retreat with nothing to stop them. The new...
