CBS: Antarctic ice can be up to 2.6 miles thick, yet researchers say that the continent of Antarctica is rising unusually fast due to climate change. Researchers told Live Science on Friday that a combination of climate change and hot rock miles underneath the earths surface flowing much faster than expected has caused the continent to rise in a similar fashion to mattresses decompressing after people get off of them. Grace Nield, a geophysicist at Newcastle University in England, told Live Science...

New Republic: On Monday, the New York Times reported on two new climate change studies that came to the same, terrifying conclusion: The heat-trapping gases could destabilize other parts of Antarctica as well as the Greenland ice sheet, potentially causing enough sea-level rise that many of the worlds coastal cities would eventually have to be abandoned. Abandoned. While actual abandonment would not happen for many years (were talking centuries), the studies warned that our actions now are irrevocable...

Politico: The Republican Party is "in denial" about climate change, California Gov. Jerry Brown said on Sunday, suggesting the wildfires in his state were related to global warming. As we send billions and billions of tons of heat-trapping gases, we get heat and we get fires and we get what were seeing," the Democratic governor said on ABC's "This Week." Major wildfires in the San Diego area, due in part to extreme drought, forced thousands of residents in the area to evacuate. Humanity is on a collision...
