Burning all fossil fuels would 'eliminate' Antarctic ice, lift seas 58m: study
2015-09-11 20:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: Burning all available fossil fuels would "eliminate" the giant ice sheets of Antarctica and lift sea levels by 58 metres, enough to inundate major coastal cities, according to US and Europe-based researchers. The combustion of available coal, oil and gas reserves would result in 10,000 billion tonnes of carbon emissions, and ensure West and East Antarctic ice sheets are destabilised and would ultimately melt, the study published on Saturday in Science Advances found. While the process could...

Burning all fossil fuels could thaw Antarctica, raise seas: study
2015-09-11 20:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Burning all the world's fossil fuel reserves could thaw the entire Antarctic ice sheet and push up world sea levels by more than 50 meters (160 feet), over thousands of years, an international study said on Friday. Such a melt, also eliminating the far smaller ice sheet on Greenland, is a worst case of climate change that would inundate cities from New York to Shanghai and change maps of the world with much of the Netherlands, Bangladesh or Florida under water. "Burning the currently attainable...

Flooding Fields in Winter May Help California Water Woes, Study Suggests
2015-09-11 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Deliberately flooding California farmland in winter could replenish aquifers without harming crops or affecting drinking water, according to early results from a study by University of California, Davis, researchers. Winter months, when crops are dormant, typically see more precipitation than summer months, when crops are actively growing and farmers rely on groundwater reserves for irrigation. Several water districts have attempted to sequester excess surface water during storms and floods by diverting...
