Climate change human link evidence ’stronger’ Reports the UK Met Office

From the News desk at the BBC – A review from the UK Met Office says it is becoming clearer that human activities are causing climate change.
It says the evidence is stronger now than when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change carried out its last assessment in 2007.
The analysis, published in the Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews [...]

The world has become far too hot for the aptly named Exit Glacier in Alaska.

Article and images courtesy of Reuters – Like many low-altitude glaciers, it’s steadily melting, shrinking two miles over the past 200 years as it tries to strike a new balance with rising temperatures.
At the Kenai Fjords National Park south of Anchorage, managers have learned to follow the Exit and other glaciers, moving signs and paths [...]

All aboard, please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts. There is a 25% chance this plane will crash.

By Bob Williamson – Greenhouse Neutral Foundation
The reality of that welcome to us would be our reply, “I’m not getting on this flight!”
Yet we are all in fact on that flight with climate change and the plane has taken off.
Much has been promoted in the media lately that climate change science is somehow conspiring to [...]

The breakaway of a Mammoth iceberg scientist say could alter ocean circulation

An iceberg the size of Luxembourg knocked loose from the Antarctic continent earlier this month could disrupt the ocean currents driving weather patterns around the globe, researchers said Thursday.
While the impact would not be felt for decades or longer, a slowdown in the production of colder, dense water could result in less temperate winters in [...]

Team Finds Subtropical Waters Flushing Through Greenland Fjord

Waters from warmer latitudes — or subtropical waters — are reaching Greenland’s glaciers, driving melting and likely triggering an acceleration of ice loss, reports a team of researchers led by Fiamma Straneo, a physical oceanographer from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI).
“This is the first time we’ve seen waters this warm in any of the [...]

Greenland’s glaciers disappearing from the bottom up

Water warmed by climate change is taking giant bites out of the underbellies of Greenland’s glaciers. As much as 75 per cent of the ice lost by the glaciers is melted by ocean warmth.
“There’s an entrenched view in the public community that glaciers only lose ice when icebergs calve off,” says Eric Rignot at the University [...]

World’s glaciers continue to melt at historic rates

Latest figures show the world’s glaciers are continuing to melt so fast that many will disappear by the middle of this century

Get ready for seven-foot sea level rise as climate change melts ice sheets

The IPCC’s 2007 report missed out the melting of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets which would be the key drivers in dramatic sea level rises.
The reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are balanced and comprehensive documents summarizing the impact of global warming on the planet. But they are not without [...]
