At sea level, climate change in Georgia is more than theoretical

Atlanta Journal Constitution: At the 35,000-foot level, climate change remains a matter of loud dispute among Republicans. In the undercard portion of last Wednesdays CNBC presidential debate, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham pushed the GOP envelope and acknowledged that were heating up the planet. Likewise, former New York Gov. George Pataki declared it not appropriate to think that human activity isnt at least partially to blame. But those are outlying opinions, offset by hardcore skepticism expressed by Republicans closer...

Climate change could leave sea turtles without mates

CBS News: Sea turtles might be facing an unusual problem: too many girls. Unlike a human baby, whose X and Y chromosomes determine whether it will be born a boy or a girl, a sea turtle's sex is defined during egg incubation periods. Warmer temperatures lead to a higher proportion of females while cooler conditions result in more males. A new Florida Atlantic University study published by Endangered Species Research finds that conditions such as heavier rains and temperature shifts are impacting loggerhead...

Stuff: Mapua's Dr Tord Kjellstrom says heat exposure and stress from climate change will be the greatest threat to human life in the next 100 years. Mapua's Dr Tord Kjellstrom has researched the impact of climate change heat stress on manual labourers for 20 years. He says people are already dying but the loss of production, particularly in hot countries, could drive a major global economic decline. Helen Murdoch reports. Imagine you are your grandchild living in a world which has not tamed climate...

NASA teleconference on sea level change warns of rising oceans

2015-08-28 04:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Gizmag: On Aug. 26, NASA held a media teleconference regarding current predictions on sea level rise, highlighting the risks to coastal populations in low-lying areas, and the inherent problems in creating reliable global models. A panel of experts from NASA's recently-founded Sea Level Change Team tells us that ocean levels are inexorably on the rise, but gaps in our understanding and ability to survey risk regions mean we don't know just how fast the change will take place. "People need to be prepared...

Prediction of Rapid Sea Level Rise Wont Change Global Climate Talks

2015-07-21 22:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

National Geographic: A bombshell climate study due out this week warns that sea levels may rise a catastrophic 10 feet (3 meters) by the end of this century, rather than the currently predicted 3 feet (.9 meters). But mainstream climate scientists say the report appears speculative and is not in sync with the leading understanding of melting sea ice. As a result, the study is unlikely to change leading scientific consensus or affect the current negotiations on a comprehensive global agreement on climate change. The...
