Navy Times: Rising oceans will swallow parts of the world's biggest naval base by the end of the century, according to experts who warn that it will take billions of dollars in upgrades to prepare these facilities. Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia and 17 other U.S. military installations sitting on waterfront property are looking at hundreds of floods a year and in some cases could be mostly submerged by 2100, according to a new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists. Nine of those bases are major...

Oceans may be large, overlooked source of hydrogen gas
2016-07-21 16:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Rocks formed beneath the ocean floor by fast-spreading tectonic plates may be a large and previously overlooked source of free hydrogen gas (H2), a new Duke University study suggests. The finding could have far-ranging implications since scientists believe H2 might be the fuel source responsible for triggering life on Earth. And, if it were found in large enough quantities, some experts speculate that it could be used as a clean-burning substitute for fossil fuels today because it gives off high...

Oceans Eating Away at Yet Another Part of Antarctica
2016-07-14 21:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the fastest warming spots on the planet, and it was thought that the rising air temperature was driving the melt of the glaciers along its fringes. But it is actually warm ocean waters that are eating away at the ice along part of its western side, a group of scientists reported Thursday in the journal Science. Icebergs that have newly calved from glacier fronts in Marguerite Bay on the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. The study adds to a spate of research...
