Not Just Sea Level Rise: Northeast Faces Flooding From The Skies
2014-05-08 14:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: The nation`s capital and financial center, not to mention other major metropolitan areas in the Northeast, are going to get soggy. And not just because of dramatic sea level rise and storm surge. The third National Climate Assessment, released Tuesday, stresses that the onslaught of water will come from the skies as well as the oceans. In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, which slammed into the East Coast in October 2012, causing up to $80 billion in damage, most people in the Northeast quickly...

Melting East Antarctica ice could mean thousands of years of unstoppable sea level rises
2014-05-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science 2.0: The melting of a rather small ice volume on East Antarctica's shore could trigger a persistent ice discharge into the ocean, resulting in unstoppable sea-level rise for thousands of years to come, according to computer simulations of the Antarctic ice flow by scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). They detail their estimates in Nature Climate Change. "East Antarctica's Wilkes Basin is like a bottle on a slant," says lead-author Matthias Mengel, "once uncorked, it...

Massive Sea Wall May Be Needed to Keep New York Dry
2014-05-05 16:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: Massive flood barriers may not be the most cost-effective way to control severe flooding from future Sandy-like storms in New York City, at least in the next two decades, according to a new analysis from Dutch and American researchers. However, the city needs to be planning for those types of huge barriers more as part of a longer-term plan, and as preparation for the possibility that climate change and sea-level rise may be worse than expected, warns the analysis, published last week in Science....
