Oh, Great: Antarctica and Greenland Are Melting Faster Than Ever
2014-08-21 16:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Motherboard: Oh great, ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland are melting at the fastest rate in recorded history. A group of researchers in Germany spent about three years measuring the two ice sheets melting, and figured out that with the two sheets combined, theyre thinning at the rate of about 500 cubic kilometers every year, according to research published yesterday in The Cryopshere. When we compare the current data with those from the ICESat satellite from the year 2009, the volume loss in Greenland...
The PS4 is still selling much faster than expected and Sony doesnt know why

Sony's PlayStation 4 console is lighting up sales charts, and even the company isn't sure why. Could a reversal or collapse strike the console? We think not.
Antarctica Could Raise Sea Level Faster Than Previously Thought
2014-08-15 19:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Ice discharge from Antarctica could contribute up to 37 centimeters to the global sea level rise within this century, a new study shows. For the first time, an international team of scientists provide a comprehensive estimate on the full range of Antarcticas potential contribution to global sea level rise based on physical computer simulations. Led by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, the study combines a whole set of state-of-the-art climate models and observational data with various...

Antarctic melt could raise sea levels faster
2014-08-15 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Deutsche-Welle: Cold, white, forever icy the Antarctic should be the last place to melt in a warming climate. But a new study shows the ice continent could become the major contributor to sea level rise before the end of the century. Melting ice from the frozen continent of Antarctica currently makes up less than 10 percent of the observed rise in global sea levels - the rest comes from the thermal expansion of warming seas, and from melting glaciers and the Greenland ice sheet. But a new analysis by an...
Antarctica may lift sea level faster in threat to megacities
2014-08-15 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Antarctica glaciers melting because of global warming may push up sea levels faster than previously believed, potentially threatening megacities including New York and Shanghai, researchers in Germany said. Antarcticas ice discharge may raise sea levels as much as 37 centimeters (14.6 inches) this century if the output of greenhouse gases continues to grow, according to a study led by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. The increase may be as little as 1 centimeter, they said....
