Antarctica’s Accelerating Melt: Massive Sea Level Rise in Decades

By Dady Chery, Haiti Chery | With regard to climate change, exponential processes have been treated as if they would develop linearly, despite scientists knowing quite well that they would not. The sea-level rise of 10 to 16 feet will come in decades, rather than 200 years. It will submerge essentially every port city in the world.

Tropical Oceans: Beating Heart of Climate Change

By University of Plymouth Scientists, Phys.org. The tropical regions of the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans appear to act like a heart: accumulating heat and then pulsing it in bursts across the Earth.

Rapid Changes to Global Water Cycle Imply Severer Floods, Droughts, Famines

By Dady Chery, Haiti Chery. An article by Paul Durak and colleagues in the Journal Science represents yet more confirmation that the effects of global warming are stronger than anticipated from scientific models. An intensification of water evaporation and precipitation over the Earth implies severe consequences for living things, including famines, floods, droughts, and general climate instability.

Greenland Bedrock Underwent Significant Uplift in 2010 Ice Melt Spike

By Joshua S. Hill, Planet Save. The year 2010 saw an unusually high melting season in Greenland which subsequently caused the bedrock of the island to lose 100 billion tonnes of ice and uplift by as much as 20 millimetres.
