Nature World News: Will warmer climates like France, United Kingdom, and southern Europe feel chillier in the future? A new study contributes more to the idea that, contrary to the oft-publicized view that climate change means warming, melt, and palm-tree havens, retreating sea ice in the Iceland and Greenland Seas could change the circulation of warm and cold water in the Atlantic Ocean, throwing off Europe's balance of warm air from its traditional circulation of currents--and make Europe colder. "A warm western...

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Sea levels remained steady for thousands of years before recent rapid rises, a study led by the Australian National University shows. The study looked at the fluctuation of ocean levels over the past 35,000 years, based on ice volume changes around the world. The researchers have described the study as the most comprehensive paper of its kind looking at the period. ANU's Professor Kurt Lambeck said sea levels were oscillating by no more than 20 centimetres over several millennia. "In...
