What the IPCC Report Didn't and Couldn't Say
Antarctic Glaciers Moving To Sea Faster (tags)
The British Antarctic Survey team studying 300 glaciers found that they are flowing into the sea at a faster pace than scientists have ever seen. As the glaciers melting is accelerated, the melt water contributes to the faster movement.
Climate Changing 3x Faster Since 2000 (tags)
The National Acadamy of Sciences published a report from a series of studies on many aspects of global warming. The May 22 report states that the rise in CO2 emissions and the Arctic Ice Cap melting are three times faster than the worst case predictions of the IPCC report. They also found that the sea level rise is twice as fast as expected by the scientists just last year.
NASA - Greenland Ice Melting at Increasing Rate (tags)
NASA released two reports today on climate change. A research team has been in Greenland measuring the ice sheet and glaciers for three weeks with new laser and radar equipment. They say that "Greenland has experienced a significant loss of ice." " ...the ice sheet and glaciers have been melting at an increasing rate over the past several years."
Glaciers (water supply) Melting 6 X Faster Than '80s (tags)
"They melted on average about 1.6 times faster annually this decade compared with the 1990s, and about six times faster than in the 1980s."
Global Warming and Climate Change - connecting the dots (tags)
A collection of links to some stories I have been posting in the recent past, gathered together, which describe changes taking place in the climate around the world. Any one of these stories might not seem significant, but taken together they indicate that weather patterns are being disturbed and are changing around the globe, with the greatest changes taking place over the last three decades, and the rate of change has been accelerating in the last decade.
