Mongabay: The landscape during the five-hour ride from Medan, the capital of Indonesia's North Sumatra province, to Tangkahan village is dominated by manicured rows of oil palm that stretch for hundreds of kilometers in all directions. The sky is darkened by clouds of smoke from nearby forests set ablaze to clear land and from the smokestacks of pulp refineries along the way.

Greenland's Draining Lakes Won't Worsen Sea Level Rise?
2015-06-04 19:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Each summer, Greenland's ice sheet - measuring three times the size of Texas - begins to melt. Pockets of melting ice form hundreds of large, supraglacial lakes on the surface of the ice. Many of these lakes drain through cracks and crevasses in the ice sheet, called moulins, creating a liquid layer over which massive chunks of ice can slide. This natural conveyor belt can speed ice toward the coast, where it eventually falls off into the sea. "It's essentially a check on the inner ice starting...

Sydney Morning Herald: El Nios are well known for unleashing droughts, hotter-than-usual weather and paradoxically worse frosts in Australia, but they also drive remarkable - if temporary - changes to global sea levels. While the shifts under way are so far barely discernible along the Australian coast, pointers of the forces are more evident in countries to Australia's north. "The western Pacific has already dropped about 20cm below its normal height, and the eastern Pacific - because it's warmed up, it's expanded...
