Oceans Storing Earths Excess Heat in Leaked UN Report

Bloomberg: The oceans are becoming a repository for almost all of Earths excess heat, driving up sea levels and threatening coastlines, according to a leaked draft of the most comprehensive United Nations report addressing climate science. Temperatures in the shallowest waters rose by more than 0.1 degree Celsius (0.18 degree Fahrenheit) a decade for the 40 years through 2010, the study found. Average sea levels have increased worldwide by about 19 centimeters (7.5 inches) since 1901 and researchers said...

Acidifying oceans will heat the planet more

New Scientist: WHAT goes around comes around. Our greenhouse gas emissions don't just warm the planet, they also acidify the oceans. Now it turns out that the change in ocean chemistry they cause will feed back into the climate, further driving up temperatures. Ocean acidification poses a threat to many marine organisms such as corals the shells of some marine snails are already dissolving. Until now it seemed like this was strictly a problem for marine organisms and the people who depend on them: 'climate...

Rising oceans: An economy washed away?

Seacoast: Maine is considered an old hand by state standards at dealing with expected sea level rise, working actively on the issue since at least 2008. And among Maine towns, York is one of the elders, with work dating to 2010 resulting in a detailed sea level rise initiative going before voters this fall. The U.S. Navy is also becoming more proactive, as recent modeling shows significant portions of Seavey Island, home to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, affected by predicted sea level rise. With 3,500 miles...

Climate change in 2012: record sea-level rise, Arctic melting, warmed oceans, report says
2013-08-06 23:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: A new massive U.S. study says the world in 2012 sweltered with continued signs of climate change. Rising sea levels, snow melt, heat buildup in the oceans, and melting Arctic sea ice and Greenland ice sheets, all broke or nearly broke records, but temperatures only sneaked into the top 10. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Tuesday issued a peer-reviewed 260-page report, which agency chief Kathryn Sullivan calls its annual "checking on the pulse of the planet." The report,...
