Scientists: Antarctic ice sheet collapse now unstoppable
2014-05-17 10:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
NBC: The consequences of the warming planet are being quantified in a new report from ice researchers in the Antarctic. They say the collapse of the massive West Antarctic Ice Sheet has already begun, and the melting of this ice sheet into the ocean could raise sea levels by as much as 15 feet in the coming centuries. wo teams of scientists say the long-feared collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has begun, kicking off what they say will be a centuries-long, unstoppable process that could raise...

West Antarctica slow-motion, unstoppable melt
2014-05-14 18:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: Two hundred years from now, the planet could look very different. This week two landmark studies revealed that West Antarctica's ice sheet is in a state of seemingly inevitable collapse linked to climate change. The slow-motion collapse would by itself eventually lead to a rise in global levels of 3.6-4.5 meters (12-15 feet), overrunning many of the world's islands, low-lying areas, and coastal cities. The only silver lining is that scientists conservatively estimate that the collapse could take...

West Antarctic Ice Sheet unstoppable loss not unexpected by NASA Scientists
2014-05-14 03:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Clarksville: The new finding that the eventual loss of a major section of West Antarctica`s ice sheet "appears unstoppable" was not completely unexpected by scientists who study this area. The study, led by glaciologist Eric Rignot at NASA`s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, and the University of California, Irvine, follows decades of research and theory suggesting the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is inherently vulnerable to change. Although the Amundsen Sea region is only a fraction of the whole...
