Global warming made Paris floods far more likely, rapid analysis shows
2016-06-10 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: The water is still receding along the Seine and Loire Rivers in France, with cleanup beginning in parts of Bavaria, but scientists are already out with a study showing that global warming made the floods at the end of May and early June far more likely compared to a climate that had not warmed due to greenhouse gas emissions. The analysis, which is known as an extreme event "attribution study," found that the probability of three-day precipitation extremes in April through June increased by at...

Antarctic Fossils Suggest That Mass Extinction Event in Polar Regions as Rapid as Elsewhere
2016-05-27 22:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A new study, published in the journal Nature Communications revealed that animals living in the Polar Regions suffered from the sudden and deadly effect of the mass extinction event just like elsewhere in the world. Previously, scientists believe that animals in the Polar Regions are far enough away from the cause of the extinction to be badly affected. They also proposed that organisms living in the poles would have been more resilient to global climatic changes associated with an asteroid impact...

Rocks record Totten Glacier's rapid retreat history
2016-05-19 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Unchecked climate change could put Antarctica's huge Totten Glacier into an unstable configuration over the coming centuries, a study has warned. If that happens, the ice loss could push up global oceans by 2m, or more. The claim is based on an assessment of the rocks underlying the ice stream. Scientists tell the journal Nature that should the front of the glacier retreat about 150km from its current position, it will then enter a runaway reversal that takes it 200-250km further inland....

Totten Glacier may face 'rapid retreat'
