Catastrophic sea levels ‘distinct possibility’ this century
The findings suggest that such an scenario - which would redraw coastlines worldwide and unleash colossal human misery - is now a distinct possibility within the next 100 years.
Sea-ice switches and abrupt climate change
Past abrupt climate changes were probably a result of rapid and extensive variations in sea-ice cover.
First evidence of under-ice volcanic eruption in Antarctica
The first evidence of a volcanic eruption from beneath Antarctica’s most rapidly changing ice sheet. The volcano on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet erupted 2000 years ago (325BC) and remains active.
Potential methane reservoirs beneath Antarctica
We calculate that the sub-Antarctic hydrate inventory could be of the same order of magnitude as that of recent estimates made for Arctic permafrost.
Central West Antarctica among the most rapidly warming regions on Earth
There is clear evidence that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is contributing to sea-level rise.
West Antarctic rapid glacier retreat may be exceptional during the Holocene
Ice loss from the marine-based, potentially unstable West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) contributes to current sea-level rise and may raise sea level by ≤3.3 m or even ≤5 m in the future.
More stingers as sea temperatures rise
As sea temps rise off Northern Queensland, more irukandji & box jellyfish are moving South.
Weird weather might just wake feeble politicians up to climate change
Meteorologists are debating our role in bizarre weather events. We have the technology for change, but not the political will.
Climate Change Puts Even ‘Safe’ Species at Risk
They found that 83% of the birds, 66% of the amphibians and 70% of the corals are highly vulnerable to climate change.
