Washington Post: It may be the biggest climate change story of the last two years. In 2014, several research groups suggested that the oceanfront glaciers in the Amundsen Sea region of West Antarctica may have reached a point of unstoppable retreat due to warm ocean waters melting them from below. Theres a great deal at stake West Antarctica is estimated to contain enough ice to raise global sea levels by 3.3 meters, or well over 10 feet, were it all to melt. The urgency may now increase further in light of...

Scientists Reveal a Bit of Good News About Greenlands Great Melt
2015-10-31 14:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Climate change is speeding up the melting of the great sheet of ice covering Greenland, a frozen mass the size of Alaska that holds an estimated 10 percent of the worlds ice--and scientists are sure of it. If the entire ice sheet melted, it would raise the level of the sea by more than 20 feet worldwide. But within that certainty, there are still many open and important questions. How much faster is the ice sheet melting? Is that melt affecting the ice sheet in other ways? What does it mean...
