Scientists Warn of Rising Oceans as Antarctic Ice Melts
2014-05-12 18:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: The collapse of large parts of the ice sheet in West Antarctica appears to have begun and is almost certainly unstoppable, with global warming accelerating the pace of the disintegration, two groups of scientists reported Monday. The finding, which had been feared by some scientists for decades, means that a rise in global sea level of at least 10 feet may now be inevitable. The rise may continue to be relatively slow for at least the next century or so, the scientists said, but sometime after that...

Blue and Green: Scientists have found human litter in the form of plastic, fishing nets, glass and metals in Europes deepest ocean depths, confirming the extent and the seriousness of marine pollution. Video footage and trawl surveys carried out by a team of universities and marine centres have unveiled the extent of manmade rubbish in the Atlantic and Arctic oceans and in the Mediterranean Sea. Scientists looked at 32 sites from depths of 35 metres to 4.5 kilometres and found a variety of litter, including...

Guardian: Climate change has already left its mark "on all continents and across the oceans", damaging food crops, spreading disease, and melting glaciers, according to the leaked text of a blockbuster UN climate science report due out on Monday. Government officials and scientists are gathered in Yokohama this week to wrangle over every line of a summary of the report before the final wording is released on Monday the first update in seven years. Nearly 500 people must sign off on the exact wording of...
How climate change will acidify the oceans

BBC: Off the remote eastern tip of Papua New Guinea a natural phenomenon offers an alarming glimpse into the future of the oceans, as increasing concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere make sea water more acidic. Streams of volcanic CO2 bubbles emerge from deep under the seabed here, like a giant jacuzzi. As the bubbles of carbon dioxide dissolve into the water, carbonic acid is formed. The site hints at the possible fate of the world's seas as 24 million tonnes of CO2 from industrial society...
