The seas are rising fast - and even faster in Massachusetts
2016-02-26 14:09:10| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Boston Globe: A new study released this week found that the world's oceans rose significantly faster last century than in any of the previous 27 centuries. It also showed levels increasing even faster along the East Coast, including the shores of Massachusetts. Researchers say they expect sea level rises in our region to continue to outpace other parts of the world. "There are reasons to think Boston and other areas of New England and along the East Coast will continue to see greater relative sea level rise...

Carbon emission cuts only way to save coral from acid seas: study
2016-02-24 19:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Corals under threat from acid seas can only be saved by deep cuts in carbon dioxide emissions, scientists said on Wednesday, and engineering the chemistry of sea water around coral reefs was only possible on a very small scale. In a U.S.-led study, scientists mixed chemicals into a lagoon, cut off from the sea at low tide, at Australia's One Tree Island to locally reverse the global trend of acidification that makes it harder for corals to build their stony skeletons. They showed that the coral,...
Seas are now rising faster than they have in 2,800 years, scientists say
2016-02-23 10:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: A group of scientists says it has now reconstructed the history of the planets sea levels arcing back over some 3,000 years -- leading it to conclude that the rate of increase experienced in the 20th century was extremely likely to have been faster than during nearly the entire period. We can say with 95 percent probability that the 20th-century rise was faster than any of the previous 27 centuries, said Bob Kopp, a climate scientist at Rutgers University who led the research with nine colleagues...
Seas Rising Faster Than Any Time In Past 2,800 Years
2016-02-22 14:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: A new study concludes that sea levels on Earth are rising at a rate several times faster than they have risen in the past 2,800 years. And scientists say it is clear that man-made climate change's rising temperatures are to blame. They predict the rate of sea level rise will accelerate, increasing a couple feet or more. An international team of scientists dug into two dozen locations across the globe to chart gently rising and falling seas over centuries and even longer. Until the 1880s...
