Global warming: “consequent impact on global sea level”




1. Antarctica

The National Snow and Ice Data Center

“Antarctic Glaciers Speed Up”

“The results imply that ice shelf removal has a significant, rapid effect on feeder glacier flow, that the removal of the ice shelf directly affects glacier force balance, and, most importantly, that climate-related shelf removal for other large shelves fed by major ice streams are likely to result in a rapid speed-up of those glaciers and a change in the mass balance of the adjacent ice sheet, with a consequent impact on global sea level.”

2. Arctic

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre

“Arctic Warming Is Accelerating“

“The rate of warming in the Arctic over the last 20 years

is eight times greater than the rate over the entire last 100 years, says the study” ...

3. Rapid rate of increase in Global Land Temperatures (GLT)

“The graph shows rapid rate of increase in GLTs beginning in the late 1970s and continuing through 2003\". *
