Scientists Warn of Rising Oceans as Antarctic Ice Melts
2014-05-12 18:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: The collapse of large parts of the ice sheet in West Antarctica appears to have begun and is almost certainly unstoppable, with global warming accelerating the pace of the disintegration, two groups of scientists reported Monday. The finding, which had been feared by some scientists for decades, means that a rise in global sea level of at least 10 feet may now be inevitable. The rise may continue to be relatively slow for at least the next century or so, the scientists said, but sometime after that...

Western Antarctic ice sheet collapse has already begun, scientists warn
2014-05-12 18:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The collapse of the Western Antarctica ice sheet is already under way and is unstoppable, two separate teams of scientists said on Monday. The glaciers' retreat is being driven by climate change and is already causing sea-level rise at a much faster rate than scientists had anticipated. The loss of the entire western Antarctica ice sheet could eventually cause up to 4 metres (13ft) of sea-level rise, devastating low-lying and coastal areas around the world. But the researchers said that even...

Alaska is Rapidly Thawing, US Experts Warn
2014-05-07 17:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Alaska has been subject to increasing evidence of global climate change. According to a recent report from the Unites States Global Change Research Program, Alaska has warmed more than twice as fast as the rest of the US, resulting in shrinking glaciers, thawing permafrost and a disappearing sea ice. Being so close to the polar region - where the effects of global climate change are most apparent - allows Alaska to serve as the nation's first warning system for increasing changes. According...

White House warn worsening climate change risks
2014-05-06 11:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: The White House is poised to unveil a stark new report today, showing how the US is already being adversely impacted by rising temperatures and climate change. The National Climate Assessment is expected to show that rising temperatures, particularly in the past three decades, have already hit America's food crops and led to increased public health risks, impacted water supplies and increased the risk of severe weather events, such as superstorm Sandy. A draft report seen by the Guardian, stated...
