Study warns of potentially catastrophic impacts from Antarctic ice melt | 05th April 2016
The ongoing rise in greenhouse gas emissions may trigger a rapid, irreversible collapse in an Antarctic ice sheet the size of Mexico, with potentially catastrophic consequences, a study published last week in the journal Nature found.
2030 summer heat could kill 11,000 Americans, White House says | 05th April 2016
Extreme temperatures linked to climate change can be expected to cause a significant increase in the number of premature deaths, according to a report released Monday by the Obama administration.

Rising seas pose significant risks to New Hampshire coastal communities and ecosystems, cultural resources and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, according to new research from the University of New Hampshire.
Study after study shows that Antarctica isn't in great shape. Its ice shelves are disappearing and its ice sheets are collapsing, hastening swiftly rising sea levels. Sounds terrible.
The rising of the sea level, caused by global warming (climate change), has accelerated during the past twenty years. “The last two decades, the sea has risen faster than during the rest of the twentieth century: from 1.7 mm per year to 3.2 mm per year,” said Anny Cazenave, a French scientist and one of the authors of a report entitled Climate Change and Sea Level: From the Planet to the French coast.
Antarctica is losing its ice shelves faster that scientists previously thought, according to a new study. The study reveals that those ice shelves are likely melting 70% faster than previously thought.
A new study released in Nature Climate Change warns that global warming is causing a slowdown in the great ocean circulation, the Washington Post reports.
