Greenlands Rapidly Melting Glaciers Will Result in Rising Sea Levels for Decades to Come
2015-11-15 17:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: A massive Greenland glacier that holds enough water to raise sea levels by half a meter [nearly 20 inches] is melting at speed, according to a new study. The Zachariae Isstrom in northeast Greenland has entered a phase of accelerated retreat, and is losing mass at the rate of 5 billion metric tons a year, according to U.S. scientists. They report in the journal Science that a succession of aerial surveys combined with multiple satellite observations has established that the base of the glacier...
Slide of north Greenland glacier quickens, raising sea levels

Reuters: A glacier in northeast Greenland with enough ice to raise world ocean levels by 50 cms (20 inches) has begun to slide faster toward the sea, extending ice losses to all corners of the vast remote island, a study showed on Thursday. Warmer water temperatures meant the end of the Zachariae Isstrom glacier floated free from a ridge of bedrock below sea level on which it had rested until 2012, according to the U.S. study reported in the journal Science. Without that natural brake, the glacier in the...
Invasive marine species benefit from rising CO2 levels

Environmental News Network: Ocean acidification may well be helping invasive species of algae, jellyfish, crabs and shellfish to move to new areas of the planet with damaging consequences, according to the findings of a new report. Slimy, jelly-like creatures are far more tolerant of rising carbon dioxide levels than those with hard parts like corals, since exposed shells and skeletons simply dissolve away as CO2 levels rise. The study, conducted by marine scientists at Plymouth University, has found that a number of...

Carbon Levels Rising at Frightening Speed As Greenhouse Gases and Global Temperature Hit Record High
2015-11-09 16:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations hit yet another new record in 2014, "continuing a relentless rise which is fueling climate change and will make the planet more dangerous and inhospitable for future generations," said the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in a report released today. The WMO Greenhouse Gas Bulletin found a 36 percent increase in greenhouse gas emissions in the last 25 years and a 43 percent increase from pre-industrial levels. The report also highlighted the "enhanced...
