Sea levels may rise 69 centimeters until 2100 on ice melt
2013-05-15 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Sea levels may rise as much as 69 centimeters (27 inches) through 2100 as water temperatures rise, glaciers melt in the Andes and Himalayas and ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica shed water, European scientists said. The new estimate exceeds a previous forecast of as much as 59 centimeters by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2007, which didnt fully account for the effects of melting ice, researchers with the independent Ice2sea project of 24 institutions in Europe...
'Best estimate' for impact of melting ice on sea level rise
2013-05-15 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Researchers have published their most advanced calculation for the likely impact of melting ice on global sea levels. The EU-funded team says the ice sheets and glaciers could add 36.8cm to the oceans by 2100. Adding in other factors, sea levels could rise by up to 69cm, higher than previous predictions. The researchers say there is a very small chance that the seas around Britain could rise by a metre. The last Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report was highly detailed...

Ice Cores Reveal Green Arctic
2013-05-11 01:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: The Arctic wasn't always covered in ice. Samples of sediment layers beneath a frozen lake show this region used to be a lot warmerand may thaw out again in the future. The work is in the journal Science. El'gygytgyn, a Russian lake 100 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, contains layers of sediment that date back to the lake's formation 3.6 million years ago. Analyses of sediment cores have revealed that back then summers reached about 15 to 16 degrees Celsius, a good 8 degrees warmer than modern...
