Timing a rise in sea level

New York Times: Thirty-five years ago, a scientist named John H. Mercer issued a warning. By then it was already becoming clear that human emissions would warm the earth, and Dr. Mercer had begun thinking deeply about the consequences. His paper, in the journal Nature, was titled West Antarctic Ice Sheet and CO2 Greenhouse Effect: A Threat of Disaster. In it, Dr. Mercer pointed out the unusual topography of the ice sheet sitting over the western part of Antarctica. Much of it is below sea level, in a sort of...
Areas of Sacramento will be inundated as sea rises

Sacramento Bee: It could take a few hundred years - or even 2,000 - but the eventual, permanent flooding of low-lying areas in Sacramento is guaranteed if greenhouse gases are not deeply reduced, according to new research. A rising sea level due to climate change is expected to dramatically alter the future landscape of many of the world's coastal areas around the world. A new study shows that the largest U.S. cities highly threatened by future sea level rise are Miami, Virginia Beach, Va., Jacksonville, Fla.,...

Arctics Rapid Sea Ice Loss Threatens Wildlife
2013-08-11 14:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: The loss of Arctic sea ice is bad news for the Pacific walrus, and for polar bears: the walrus has further to swim to dig for clams on the sea floor, and the polar bear has less chance of catching seals. But the real problems begin at the base of the food chain. Since the end of the last century, more than two million square kilometers of sea ice have disappeared, and the loss of summer ice is accelerating. Researchers call this "a stunning loss of habitat for sea ice algae and sub-ice plankton...
