Greenland is open for business, but it’s not for sale, Greenland’s foreign minister Ane Lone Bagger told Reuters after hearing that President Donald Trump asked his advisers about the feasibility of buying the world’s largest island. Sources told CNN that President Trump has made repeated inquiries into the possibility of buying Greenland, an autonomous territory, […]
A new study has more than doubled the worst-case-scenario projection for sea level rise by the end of the century, BBC News reported Monday. In its fifth assessment report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicted between 52 and 98 centimeters (approximately 1.7 to 3.2 feet) of sea level rise by 2100. But the […]
Greenland is melting six times faster than it was in the 1980s, which is even faster than scientists thought, CNN reported Tuesday. The new figure is part of a study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that reconstructed the mass balance of Greenland over the past 46 years, comparing ice […]
Greenland is getting rainier, even in winter, a new study has found, and that has major implications for sea level rise. The Greenland ice sheet loses about 270 billion tons of ice each year to climate change, raising global sea levels by 7.5 millimeters (approximately 0.3 inches) between 1992 and 2011, Science Magazine explained. About […]
There’s good news and there’s bad news. Two new studies focusing on ice melt in Antarctica and Greenland have revised down the worst-case scenario for the amount of sea level rise the world could see by 2100, but say the overall climate impacts of melt water entering the oceans could be devastating. “The sea-level estimates […]
Weather and climate aren’t the same. It’s one thing for people who spend little or no time learning about global warming to confuse the two, but when those we elect to represent us don’t know the difference, we’re in trouble. For a U.S. president to tweet about what he referred to as “Global Waming” because […]
Greenland is melting about four times faster than it was in 2003, a new study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found, a discovery with frightening implications for the pace and extent of future sea level rise. “We’re going to see faster and faster sea level rise for the foreseeable […]
By Julia Conley In the latest troubling study regarding how the climate crisis is affecting the world’s iciest regions, a new report by the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) found that the second-largest ice sheet in the world is currently melting even in winter. The study follows a report released earlier this month showing […]
The first continuous, multi-century study of surface melt from the Greenland ice sheet was published in Nature Wednesday, and the results are clear: the ice sheet is now melting at rates unseen within at least the last 350 years. “Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet has gone into overdrive. As a result, Greenland melt is […]
