Storm surges, rising seas could doom Pacific islands this century

ClimateWire: As ice caps melt and sea levels rise, islands around the world could eventually become completely submerged, like real-world cities of Atlantis. Scientists have determined that the tides could consume low-lying islands in the next 50 to 150 years. But they'll become uninhabitable well before they're underwater, and that day might not be in the too distant future. A study by the U.S. Geological Survey released yesterday finds that the two northwestern Hawaiian atolls of Midway and Laysan and...

Corals can survive warmer seas if humans don't meddle
2013-04-06 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: Coral reefs might be able to take the heat of climate change -- if left well alone. A new study suggests reefs that are spared human interference can survive episodes of severe coral bleaching. When corals are stressed - by a sudden rise in the temperature of seawater or a change in its chemistry, for instance - they can no longer provide nutrients to the photosynthetic algae that live symbiotically within them. As a result the corals lose both the algae and their rich hues, which stem from the...

Rising Seas Swallow 8 Cities in These Climate Change GIFs

Mashable: Climate change and global warming may cause sea levels to rise and flood coastal cities across the world. Over the past century, the Global Mean Sea Level has risen by 4 to 8 inches. And according to estimates by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (PDF), it will keep rising between 8 inches and 6.6 feet by 2100. How will the world look if that happens? In November of 2012, The New York Times published interactive maps displaying the effects of the sea level rising, in a series titled...
