<a href="http://www.pbs.org/">PBS</a> About 8 million metric tons of plastic waste makes its way into the oceans each year, according to a study published today by a group of scientists at the UC Santa Barbaras National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis. The number is expected to increase unless countries are able to turn off the faucet, Kara Lavender Law, one author of the study, said. read more

Guardian: Its widely accepted that climate change will have bigger negative impacts on poorer countries than wealthy ones. However, a new economic modeling study finds that the economic impacts on these poorer countries could be much larger than previous estimates. As a result, they suggest that we should be aiming to limit global warming to near, or perhaps even less than the international target of 2°C. This conclusion is in sharp contrast to current economic models, which generally conclude that the...

The rate of sea-level rise is far worse previously thought, study says

Washington Post: Researchers have come up with a new and improved way of measuring the rise in the sea level, and the news is not good: The seas have risen dramatically faster over the last two decades than anyone had known. For hundreds of years, the seas were measured by more or less the equivalent of plopping a yard stick into the ocean and seeing if the ocean went up or down. But now, that method looks to be outdated. According to a new study published on Wednesday in Nature, the new method involves an...
Study: sea levels rising quicker previously estimated

Blue and Green: Sea level rise is accelerating at a much faster pace than previously estimated, according to a new study from Harvard University. The findings have implications for climate change models. The study, which has been published in the journal Nature, found that global sea level rise from 1900 to 1990 had be overestimated by as much as 30%. Suggesting that the rate of change is far more rapid than previously thought. Co-author of the study and a recent Ph.D graduate in Harvards Department of Earth...
