Buenos Aires Herald: An Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission ex-chairman says nearly half of Buenos Aires province could eventually be flooded if seas continue to grow The increasing global warming is melting the planet's ice and the subsequent rise of sea levels may flood nearly half of the province of Buenos Aires, and even cause some insular states to disappear, a leading international expert from Argentina warns. "I don't want to frighten anyone but nearly half of Buenos Aires province may remain under...

Previous Greenland Ice Sheet Collapse Rose Sea Level up to 6 Meter
2014-06-26 22:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: More than 400,000 years ago, a warming period pushed Greenland's ice sheet past its limit and raised global sea levels up to 6 meters, according to new research. The results may give us a glimpse as to what may happen as a result of Greenland's current climate-induced melting dilemma. Known as the Marine Isotope Stage 11, this exceptionally long warming period between ice ages resulted in a global sea level rise of about 6-13 meters above present, caused by changes in the Earth's orbit around...
Greenland Ice Sheet Collapse Linked To Sea Level Rise 400,000 Years Ago: Study
2014-06-26 22:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: A new study suggests that a warming period more than 400,000 years ago pushed the Greenland ice sheet past its stability threshold, resulting in a nearly complete deglaciation of southern Greenland and raising global sea levels some 4-6 meters. The study is one of the first to zero in on how the vast Greenland ice sheet responded to warmer temperatures during that period, which were caused by changes in the Earth`s orbit around the sun. Results of the study, which was funded by the National...
Liberias Poor and the Rising Sea

Inter Press Service: Mary B owned a shop in West Point, Monrovias densely-populated slum community, where she sold liquor just few yards away from the sea. But last month, the ocean left her homeless and without a business because the devastating erosion of the coastline has resulted in most of the land eroding into the Atlantic Ocean with thousands of homes being washed away by the encroaching sea. While a human being or your landlord will tell you I give you notice at a particular time then you will pack your...
