Tragic Planet

More than two trillion tons of land ice in Greenland, Antarctica and Alaska have melted since 2003, according to new NASA satellite data that show the latest signs of what scientists say is global warming.
More than half of the loss of landlocked ice in the past five years has occurred in Greenland, based on measurements [...]

A new report from the NOAA shows that CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere is accelerating. More worrisome though is the fact that after a decade of steady readings, methane (CH4) is now sharply up, potentially  indicating that the dreaded positive feedback scenario where methane hydrate locked in the permafrost is being released rapidly.
Keep in mind [...]

A new study to be published this week shows that increased wind shear might actually mean that global warming will result in less hurricanes.
This is highly controversial and most climatologists disagree with this finding. I think the trend over the last 20 years has been pretty clear that hurricanes are getting stronger and more frequent, [...]

Although air temperatures on the Antarctic continent have not been going much at all, puzzling scientists, this new study shows that ice loss is accelerating. The cause is likely to be the warming water of the circumpolar current.

VALENCIA, Spain – The Earth is hurtling toward a warmer climate at a quickening pace, a Nobel-winning U.N. scientific panel said in a landmark report released Saturday, warning of inevitable human suffering and the threat of extinction for some species.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon said [...]

Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere have risen 35% faster than expected since 2000, says a study.
International scientists found that inefficiency in the use of fossil fuels increased levels of CO2 by 17%.
The other 18% came from a decline in the natural ability of land and oceans to soak up CO2 from the atmosphere. [...]

Gore said he was “deeply honored,” adding that “the climate crisis is not a political issue it is a moral and spiritual challenge [...]
