Nuuk :: Greenland | 2 days ago
Credibility
Bubbles of air trapped in the ice as it froze can be analysed to give details on temperature at the time it froze, and on atmospheric concentrations of gases. The oldest ice core so far extracted belongs to the European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica...

Kolkata - a Lost City by 2100 AD
If predictions of environmentalists are to be believed, Kolkata could be one of the lost cities that would go under water by 2100. The rate of global warming is more than earlier expected and the net rise in sea level would be of the order of 1.4 meters....

‘Greenland ice loss led to rise in sea level’
Nuuk :: Greenland | 8 days ago
Credibility They found that results from the two methods roughly matched and showed that Greenland is losing enough ice to contribute on average 0.46 millimetres per year to global sea-level rise, journal New Scientist reported. The loss may be accelerating: since...

World's largest ice sheet melting faster than expected
Nuuk :: Greenland | 13 days ago
Credibility The world's largest ice sheet has started to melt along its coastal fringes, raising fears that global sea levels will rise faster than scientists expected. The East Antarctic ice sheet, which makes up three-quarters of the continent's 14,000 sq km, is...

The Splendor of Greenland's Ice Sheet Crumbling Away [Megaenvironmentalism]
Nuuk :: Greenland | 21 days ago
Credibility For the past several years, scientists have been tracking the transformation of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Now it's shrinking faster than ever, and a new study proves it has lost 1500 gigatons of mass from 2000 to 2008. That is an enormous amount of mass,...
