Consequences of Climate Change: Polar Bear Population Shrinking Due to Arctic Sea Ice Melt

2016-09-26 04:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Nature World: Alert! The melting sea ice in the Arctic is leaving polar bear hungry and their population dwindling in numbers. According to a report from Earth Sky, polar bears have taken the most drastic hit from the melting Arctic sea ice due to climate change. Polar bears mainly get their fat and nutrients from eating seals, and the ice in the Arctic has greatly helped the slow-moving bears to catch the much-faster seals by ambushing the latter through the ice. However, as the Arctic sea ice continues...

Climate change already accelerating sea level rise, study finds

2016-08-10 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld

[NEWS] BOULDER, Colo. — Greenhouse gases are already having an accelerating effect on sea level rise, but the impact has so far been masked by the cataclysmic 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, according to a new study led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Satellite observations, which began in 1993, indicate that the rate of sea level rise has held fairly steady at about 3 millimeters per year. But the expected acceleration due to climate …

Rising sea levels will change the ecology of the Everglades

2016-07-14 22:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Environmental News Network: The Florida Everglades is a swampy wilderness the size of Delaware. In some places along the road in southern Florida, it looks like tall saw grass to the horizon, a prairie punctuated with a few twisted cypress trees. The sky is the palest blue. But beneath the surface a different story is unfolding. Because of climate change and sea level rise, the ocean is starting to seep into the swampland. If the invasion grows worse, it could drastically change the Everglades, and a way of life for millions...

NPR: Rising Sea Levels Made Florida Mayor a Climate Change Believer

2016-05-18 18:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

EcoWatch: Florida is one of, if not the, most vulnerable states in the U.S. when it comes to sea level rise. Though it`s clear Florida Sen. Marco Rubio doesn`t believe the state needs to act on climate change, one mayor is attempting to prepare his town for higher water. Coral Gables Mayor James Cason hadn`t given sea level rise much thought until climate scientists brought it to his attention. "You know, I`d read some articles here and there," he told NPR`s Christopher Joyce, "but I didn`t realize how...

Antarctic Melt Surges Sea Level in Climate Change Recalculation

2016-03-31 13:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Newsmax: Climate scientists at two U.S. universities said the most recent U.N. report issued in 2013 on the effects of global warming had missed the real rate at which the ice covering the continent would melt, reported Reuters. That 2-year-old report said the worst case of man-made climate change would mean a sea-level rise of between 52 and 98 cm by 2100. The new study suggests the real rise could be 1.5 meters (5 ft), posing an even greater threat to cities from New York to Shanghai. "This could...
