Get a reality check on the Antarctic meltdown and rising sea level
2014-05-14 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
NBC: Does the retreat of glaciers on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet mean we're in for an imminent climate catastrophe? The short answer is no. Is the ice sheet collapsing? That depends on your definition of "collapse." Are the two studies documenting Antarctica's meltdown worth all the buzz they've generated? Yes. Here's a reality check on some of the questions raised by this week's studies: What's happening to Antarctica's ice? The continent's glaciers are in a constant state of flux, Penn State...
California guv says rising sea levels could force costly move of LAX

LA Times: California will face billions of dollars in spending to cope with the consequences of rising sea levels if low-lying communities along the coast are ultimately submerged, as scientists predict, Gov. Jerry Brown said Tuesday. Brown`s remarks came a day after the release of two studies finding that a slow-motion and irreversible collapse of a massive cluster of glaciers in Antarctica has begun and could cause sea levels to rise worldwide by four feet within 200 years. "If that happens, the Los...

Antarctica Glacier Collapsing, Adding to Sea Level Rise
2014-05-12 20:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: A massive glacier system in West Antarctica has started collapsing because of global warming and will contribute to significant worldwide sea-level rise, two teams of scientists warn in a pair of major studies released Monday. Scientists had previously thought the two-mile-thick (3.2 kilometers) glacier system would remain stable for thousands of years, but new research suggests a faster time frame for melting. A rapidly melting section of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet appears to be in irreversible...
