Bad news about rising sea levels
2014-07-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: An 'OMG' moment for ice researchers. Sea levels may rise much faster than predicted because climate models have failed to account for the disruptive effects of stronger westerly winds, Australian-led research has found. Recent studies of Antarctica have suggested the giant glaciers of West Antarctica may have begun an irreversible melting that will raise sea levels by as much as 3 metres over 200-500 years. That estimate, though, may prove optimistic because models had failed to account...
California city cites sea level rise in fight against coastal power plant

KPCC: The city of Oxnard in Ventura County has taken tentative steps to block a proposed power plant in the coastal zone. Oxnard's developing debate over how to incorporate concerns about newly-identified risks into longstanding planning processes is one of the first in California, but it's unlikely to be the last. California law requires state, county, and local agencies to consider implications of a changing climate in planning. Along the coast, those impacts include sea level rise and storm surges...

Antarctic winds could accelerate sea level rise
2014-07-08 13:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Expected changes in Antarctic wind patterns may speed up global sea level rise, threatening coastal cities and low-lying countries around the world, a new study has warned. Climate scientists have already resigned to the fact that sea levels, driven by melting ice sheets and glaciers around the world, will rise. It will mean that entire countries will eventually be lost to the sea. However, now it is feared that coastal winds, which are thought to be strengthening because of a hole in the ozone...
