Erosion of Rocky Coastlines May Dramatically Accelerate Due to Sea Level Rise
Rocky coastlines could retreat more rapidly in the future due to accelerating sea level rise. This is especially concerning because rock coasts make up over…
“Stabilizing Feedback” Confirmed by MIT Scientists – Earth Can Regulate Its Own Temperature Over Millennia
Earth can regulate its own temperature over millennia, new research finds. Scientists have confirmed that a “stabilizing feedback” on 100,000-year timescales keeps global temperatures in…
Elevating the Risk of Satellite Collision: Climate Change To Increase Lifetime of Space Debris
The reduced atmosphere in the upper atmosphere will increase satellites’ risk of collision with space pollution. According to a recent study from the British Antarctic…
Earth’s Warming Hole – Is It an Indication of an Impending Climate Change Catastrophe?
University of Miami researchers discover that a swath of cooling water in the subpolar region is unrelated to an ocean circulation slowdown. The pattern of…
Future Sea-Level Rise May Be Much Higher Than Thought – Ice Loss in Greenland “Vastly Underestimated”
A new study combined GPS, satellite data, and numerical modeling. It found ice loss from northeast Greenland could be six times greater by the end…
