Sea level rise a disaster many decades in the making

Adelaide Now: THE plight of the River Murray has shown how environmental disaster can be allowed to sneak up on us despite ample warning, and opportunity for those charged with planning the future, to take preventative action. A prolonged drought threatened to be the straw that broke the river system's back, but the cause of the potential disaster was 100 years of over-extraction of water for human use. Fortunately for the river system and all those who rely on it, at a minute to midnight governments were...

Forbes: Rising seas pose some of the biggest emerging challenges to the world, as coastal urban areas face higher water and dangerous storms, protected only by weak, sometimes crumbling 20th-century flood defenses. But sea level rise, largely the result of manmade climate change, may have effects that go far beyond catastrophic flooding: a new paper shows how higher water may lead to increased volcanic activity. Lets get this out of the way: this isnt going to cause any immediate problems. Governments...
Sea level rise may eclipse 3 feet by 2100, study finds

Environment Health: By Andrew Freedman Follow @afreedma A new assessment that gauges the views of leading ice sheet experts finds that scientists think global sea level rise during this century may be far more significant than previously thought, possibly eclipsing 1 meter, or 3.3 feet, by 2100. Such a sharp rise in sea level would inundate heavily populated coastal areas around the world, potentially forcing the relocation of 187 million people, the study said. The new report adds to a growing body of evidence...
Sea level rise could lead to cooler, stormier planet

New Scientist: A CATASTROPHIC rise in sea level before the end of the century could have a hitherto unforeseen side effect. Melting icebergs might cool the seas around Greenland and Antarctica so much that the average surface temperature of the planet falls by a degree or two. This is according to unpublished work by climate scientist James Hansen of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City. While it might sound welcome, by the time this occurs the temperature differences produced by the "iceberg...
