Heres How Arctic Sea Ice Could Shrink Even More
2014-08-19 14:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: As the sea ice covering the Arctic continues to shrink under the influence of greenhouse gas-induced warming, it's causing a host of other changes in the region, including the growth of large waves in the previously iced-over areas. Those waves could potentially reinforce and hasten the demise of sea ice, leading to further changes in the fragile polar realm. Changes brought on by global warming in the Arctic region have been well documented. Temperatures there have risen twice as fast as the...

Scottish North Sea oil reserves six times higher than estimated
2014-08-18 11:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: A new report from business organisation N-56 has said that revenue from oil in the Scottish North Sea could be as high as 365 billion over the next few decades, rather than the 57 billion previously estimated. The study argues that the figures put forward by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) for oil revenue for the next 30 years are far too pessimistic compared to the industrys forecast. If measures to maximise profits are put in place, such as a new tax regime and the creation...

Antarctica Could Raise Sea Level Faster Than Previously Thought
2014-08-15 19:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Ice discharge from Antarctica could contribute up to 37 centimeters to the global sea level rise within this century, a new study shows. For the first time, an international team of scientists provide a comprehensive estimate on the full range of Antarcticas potential contribution to global sea level rise based on physical computer simulations. Led by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, the study combines a whole set of state-of-the-art climate models and observational data with various...
