Mangroves help protect coastal areas against sea level rise
2015-07-23 19:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Mangrove forests could play a crucial role in protecting coastal areas from sea level rise caused by climate change, according to new research involving the University of Southampton. A joint study between researchers at the University of Southampton along with colleagues from the Universities of Auckland and Waikato in New Zealand used leading-edge mathematical simulations to study how mangrove forests respond to elevated sea levels. Taking New Zealand mangrove data as the basis of a new modelling...

Does past sea level rise portend future rise from warming?
2015-07-22 15:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: You may have seen claims in recent weeks that historic records show a global temperature rise could give us sea levels 20 feet higher than the norm. How accurate are these claims, and why is it important that we take this issue seriously? The reports are a result of a University of Florida study that was recently published in the journal Science. The researchers, including lead author Andrea Dutton, wanted to investigate how historically Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have reacted to global...
Sea levels may rise by 10 FEET in the next 50 years

Daily Mail: Sea levels could rise by as much as 10 feet in the next 50 years due to 'highly dangerous' global warming, a leading climate scientist has warned. Dr James Hansen, one of the world's leading climate scientists, and 16 other researchers are preparing to publish new projections for how the oceans may respond to climate change. They warn an increase in average global temperatures of just 1°C could result in dramatic changes in sea level and an increase in powerful storms. They conclude that 2°C of...
Prediction of Rapid Sea Level Rise Wont Change Global Climate Talks
2015-07-21 22:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: A bombshell climate study due out this week warns that sea levels may rise a catastrophic 10 feet (3 meters) by the end of this century, rather than the currently predicted 3 feet (.9 meters). But mainstream climate scientists say the report appears speculative and is not in sync with the leading understanding of melting sea ice. As a result, the study is unlikely to change leading scientific consensus or affect the current negotiations on a comprehensive global agreement on climate change. The...
