Buenos Aires Herald: An Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission ex-chairman says nearly half of Buenos Aires province could eventually be flooded if seas continue to grow The increasing global warming is melting the planet's ice and the subsequent rise of sea levels may flood nearly half of the province of Buenos Aires, and even cause some insular states to disappear, a leading international expert from Argentina warns. "I don't want to frighten anyone but nearly half of Buenos Aires province may remain under...

Our Inability To Deal With Climate Change Is Going to Kill Penguins

ClimateDesk: Move over, polar bears: Its time for Emperor penguins to become the new poster children of climate change. Recently, polar biologists at the University of Minnesota used satellite images of poop stains (scientists are nothing if not resourceful) to show that some colonies of Emperor penguins in Antarctica are uprooting historic nesting sites, possibly to escape warming temperatures. Today, a new study in Nature makes an even more grim prognostication about the future of the species: Thanks to declining...

Climate change will impact the tropics too: Study

Aaj Ki Khabar: Although greenhouse gases cause greater warming at the poles, few places on the earth will be immune to global warming and the tropics too will likely experience associated climate impacts, such as increased storm intensity, says a study. Tropical sea surface temperatures were warmer during the early-to-mid Pliocene - an interval spanning about five to three million years ago, the findings showed. "These results confirm what climate models have long predicted - that although greenhouse gases...

To address climate change, nothing substitutes for reducing carbon dioxide emissions
2014-06-28 02:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The politically expedient way to mitigate climate change is essentially no way at all, according to a comprehensive new study by University of Chicago climatologist Raymond Pierrehumbert. Among the climate pollutants humans put into the atmosphere in significant quantities, the effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the longest-lived, with effects on climate that extend thousands of years after emissions cease. But finding the political consensus to act on reducing CO2 emissions has been nearly impossible....
