NASA spots worrisome Antarctic ice sheet melt
2014-05-12 21:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: The huge West Antarctic ice sheet is starting a glacially slow collapse in an unstoppable way, two new studies show. Alarmed scientists say that means even more sea level rise than they figured. The worrisome outcomes won't be seen soon. Scientists are talking hundreds of years, but over that time the melt that has started could eventually add 4 to 12 feet to current sea levels. A NASA study looking at 40 years of ground, airplane and satellite data of what researchers call "the weak underbelly...
NASA spots worrisome Antarctic ice sheet melt
2014-05-12 21:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: It's likely because of man-made global warming and the ozone hole which have changed the Antarctic winds and warmed the water that eats away at the feet of the ice, researchers said at a NASA news conference Monday. "The system is in sort of a chain reaction that is unstoppable," said NASA glaciologist Eric Rignot, chief author of the NASA study in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. "Every process in this reaction is feeding the next one." Curbing emissions from fossil fuels to slow climate...

NASA, of course, says it's nothing of the sort -- rather than an indication of extraterrestrial life, it's probably just a bright spot caused by the sun reflecting off a rock, or errant cosmic radiation striking the camera's sensor. A prominent ufologist, however, claims that it's an artificial life source, and that "NASA could go and investigate it, but hey, they are not on Mars to discovery life, but there to stall its discovery."
