Sea Levels Rose Faster Last Century Than In Previous 2,700 Years, Study Finds

National Public Radio: A new study suggests that sea levels are rising at an unprecedented rate and that the problem will continue well into this century. "Sea level rise in the 20th century was truly extraordinary by historical standards," says Bob Kopp, an associate professor of Earth and planetary sciences at Rutgers University, and who is lead author on the study, which appears in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Sea levels rose by roughly 5 inches in the past hundred years, Kopp...

Sea levels rising at fastest rate in 2,800 years due to global warming, studies show
2016-02-23 03:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Sea levels are rising several times faster than they have in the past 2,800 years, with the process accelerating because of manmade global warming, according to new studies. An international team of scientists examined two dozen locations across the globe to chart rising and falling seas over centuries and millennia. Until the 1880s and the worlds industrialisation, the fastest seas rose was about 3cm to 4cm a century. During that time global sea levels did not get much higher or lower than...
Number of strokes increase as pollution levels rise

ScienceDaily: Higher pollution levels were linked to a higher total number of strokes, and researchers said it reaffirmed the growing evidence that climate change and overall air quality contributes to cardiovascular disease, according to research presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2016. The study, which used data from the United States and China, is one of the first to investigate the interaction between air quality and the number of stroke cases (prevalence) along...

Are ice streams contributing to the rise of ocean levels?
2016-02-18 12:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: A study released Wednesday in the journal Nature suggests that the recent thinning behavior of ice streams in some of the world's largest glaciers may not point to as grim a climate scenario as was once thought. Ice streams, or fast-moving regions of massive ice sheets glaciers larger than 19,000 square miles have become a cause for concern in recent years as their retreat in the world's only major ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctic has been linked to sea level rise. But the new study may...
Air Tests at Five Portland Schools Couldn't Rule Out Elevated Arsenic, Cadmium Levels
2016-02-18 07:26:36| Waste Management - Topix.net
When hundreds of angry and anxious Portlanders showed up to a community forum at Cleveland High School last week, Portland Public Schools officials had some good news. Controversy was just beginning over whether a nearby glass factory had been pumping the neighborhood air full of the heavy metals cadmium and arsenic for years - a possibility raised by state Department of Environmental Quality monitoring last October.
