- The Arctic Is Warming Much Faster Than the Rest of Earth. Rising temperatures in the northern polar cap are driving extreme heat, drought, and sea level rise in the continental US. The Arctic has warmed by 0.75 degrees Celsius (1.35 degrees Fahrenheit) in the last decade alone https://www.wired.com/story/the-arctic-is-warming-much-faster-than-the-rest-of-earth/# 67 comments science
- According to a new study just out in Nature Climate Change we’re now seeing a slowdown of the great ocean circulation that helps to partly drive the Gulf Stream off the U.S. east coast. The consequences could be dire – including significant extra sea level rise for the U.S. east coast. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/03/23/global-warming-is-now-slowing-down-the-circulation-of-the-oceans-with-potentially-dire-consequences/ 28 comments science
- Six-fold jump in polar ice loss lifts global oceans | Greenland and Antarctica are shedding six times more ice than during the 1990s, driving sea level rise that could see annual flooding by 2100 in regions home today to some 400 million people, scientists have warned. https://phys.org/news/2020-03-six-fold-polar-ice-loss-global.html 4 comments worldnews
