Ocean Changes May Have Dire Impact on People

The first comprehensive synthesis on the effects of climate change on the world’s oceans has found they are now changing at a rate not seen for several million years.
In an article published June 18 in Science magazine, scientists reveal the growing atmospheric concentrations of man-made greenhouse gases are driving irreversible and dramatic changes to the [...]

Report warns of global warming costs

Health problems require agencies to take all-hands-on-deck approach, expert says
The health risks of global climate change read like a chapter out of the Book of Revelation: plagues from mosquitoes and other insects; floods and droughts that cause sickness and mental anguish; food-borne scourges and malnutrition.
In a report released recently by federal scientists, led by the [...]

Climate change could make half the world uninhabitable

Greenhouse Neutral Foundation Comment: – Looking forward further into the future Scientist have suggested the upward movement of rising temperatures won’t just stop at the current upper levels suggested by the IPCC but will continue. As suggested by Mother Natures Supersalesman in his closing remarks in the book ZERO Greenhouse Emissions – excerpt
“Now just one [...]

Climate Change Hits the Oceans

When scientists say the planet is warming, they usually point to rising air temperatures as proof. That’s reasonable enough, especially since the warmth of the air temperature affects us directly so we feel the change the scientists are measuring. But it’s also misleading: while the lower atmosphere has been gradually warming over the past 50 [...]

Melting ice makes the Arctic a vicious circle

EVERYONE knows how much hotter it feels to wear a black T-shirt, rather than a white one, on a warm day.
In the same way, the melting of sea ice in the Arctic, revealing the dark water below, has been shown by Australian scientists to be the main cause of unusually rapid warming at the top [...]

Geologists Drill into Antarctica and Find Troubling Signs for Ice Sheets’ Future

New sediment cores from an Antarctic research drilling program suggest that the southernmost continent has had a more dynamic history than previously suspected
ERICE, Italy—If you think of Earth’s poles as fraternal twins, the Arctic has been the wild one in recent years, while the Antarctic has been a steady plodder. Withered by summer heat, Arctic [...]

Copenhagen pledges set Earth for warming

Carbon-curbing pledges under the Copenhagen Accord are likely to doom Earth to warming of three degrees Celsius (5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) or more, compared to the deal’s target of 2C (3.6 F), scientists said on Wednesday.
In an analysis published by the journal Nature, researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) near Berlin said [...]

Greenland’s ice melt widens – finds new study.

Study: Northwest areas thinning since 2005
Melt along the southern edge of Greenland’s ice sheet is now moving up its northwest coast, a new study shows.
“The ice mass loss has been very dramatic” since 2005, John Wahr, study co-author and a University of Colorado at Boulder physics professor, said in a statement.
The team, led by Denmark’s [...]

Where there is no sunlight, no food, frozen conditions – NASA finds complex life in Antarctica under the Ice Shelf

In a discovery at the bottom of the world that could have implications on the search for extraterrestrial life, researchers were astounded to find an amphipod swimming beneath a massive Antarctic ice sheet. 
The amphipod—a shrimp-like creature—was caught on video swimming 600 feet below the ice, where the NASA team expected to find no higher life [...]

Climate Change and Sea Level Rise – Crock of the week

In the book Mother Natures Super Salesman put it like this; Excerpt
“During the summer of 2005 we got started on breaking some records for melting of the Greenland ice sheet. Offering to destabilize large parts of the ice sheet on timescales measured in years or decades, not millennia. Just to emphasize the point,” said the [...]
