Climate Change: New Computer Model Efficiently Measures Antarctic Ice Melt
2015-09-25 23:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: What would Earth look like if we continue to burn all available fossil fuels, causing global temperatures to increase by 20 degrees Fahrenheit? That's the question University of Alaska Fairbanks researchers set out to answer by applying a new computer model that focusses on the Antarctic ice sheet. The Antarctic ice sheet is larger than the U.S. with an average thickness of 6,200 feet and all by itself contains more than 50 percent of the world's fresh water. If it melted, sea levels would rise...

Burning All of the Worlds Fossil Fuels Would Completely Melt the Antarctic Ice Sheet
2015-09-14 16:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Heres another argument for keeping the worlds fossil fuels in the ground: If all the coal, gas and oil on Earth is extracted and burned, the Antarctic ice sheet will melt entirely, scientists warn in a new blockbuster study published last Friday in the research journal Science Advances. The mind-boggling point is that our actions today are changing the face of planet Earth as we know it and will continue to do so for tens of thousands of years to come. If we want to avoid Antarctica to become...

NASA scientists warn of accelerating sea level rise as ice sheets melt
2015-08-28 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: As the world's ice sheets melt in response to warming air and ocean temperatures, global sea level is increasing. This is already putting cities from New York to Shanghai at risk of almost routine flooding from even relatively minor storms. The question facing scientists and policy makers is how much sea level rise they need to plan for in the coming decades, and recent findings are concerning. On Wednesday, NASA scientists said they expect several feet of global sea level rise by the end of...
How West Antarctica Could Melt If Greenhouse Emissions Continue to Rise
2015-08-18 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: An international team of scientists has developed the first comprehensive, high-resolution model depicting how rapidly the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) could melt if greenhouse gas emissions are not brought under control. The study projects that under a high-emissions scenario, the WAIS could lose 80,000 cubic kilometers (19,000 cubic miles) of ice by 2100, increasing sea levels by 8 inches. By 2200, the WAIS could lose 48,000 cubic miles of ice, raising sea levels by a total of 23 inches, the...
