Get email notification for articles from Ruth Schuster Follow When birds of a feather don’t migrate together Israel is on the route for birds migrating between Europe and Africa. That explains why the Holy Land attracts not only pilgrims but birdwatchers. But, to generalize, the rapid pace of global warming is confusing the birds, Israeli scientists warn in Science Advances. The redstart, for instance, lives in Africa and Arabia but breeds in Europe. The males are flying out earlier but the ...

Follow Mar. 9, 2021 Who doesn’t want a home with a view of the sea? Well, unless the waves are washing around your living room. Flooding is an intensifying problem in some parts as climate change bites down, and not only on low-lying coasts. But the coasts are a good place to start worrying because a rising sea level can no longer be prevented. The amount of carbon dioxide we have already added to the atmosphere makes more temperature increases inevitable, based on historical climate patterns...

Follow Feb. 2, 2021 The vast ice sheet on Greenland has become unstable and technology isn’t storming to the rescue. The world is not on a trajectory to “curb” global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius – we’re almost there already. “Everybody is asleep. It’s like the Titanic,” wails sea level rise guru John Englander, an oceanographer and author who has made it his life’s mission to shake the world awake before it’s too late. Too late for what? To secure coastlines all over the ...

plenty of pollution, predation, precarity You’ve heard all of this before. Here, another aside tying into this screed: So, just a few days ago, I braved the gales along the Oregon Coast. King tides. Days of rain. The beaches were full of logs, and the rivers coming from Highway 101 were a few feet deep and 20 feet across. All my outdoor and military training went out the window – instead of getting my hiking boots wet, I opted to climb a log jam in lashing rain. Climb and climb, until, yep,...

Sea-level rise from climate change could exceed the high-end projections, scientists warn By Jeff Berardelli Sea levels could rise even more rapidly Of the many threats from climate change, sea-level rise will most certainly be among the most impactful, making hundreds of thousands of square miles of coastline uninhabitable and potentially displacing over 100 million people worldwide by the end of the century. This threat is a top concern for national security experts becaus...

Study Indicates Sea-Level Rise Could be Higher than Predicted Written by AZoCleantechDec 21 2020 According to a new report, if climate change is not challenged sea levels may rise higher than present estimates by 2100. Sea level rise will cause increased coastal erosion. Image Credit: Imperial College London. According to the authors of the latest report, interpreting the way polar ice sheets are affected by intense global heating will be significant for projecting the rise in sea levels acro...

Researchers say estimates for sea level rise dont consider melting ice sheets  With this taken into account trillions of tonnes of mass could be shed by 2100  This will cause a serious rise in sea levels around the world putting lives at risk This is based on the real possibility temperatures could rise by 7 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century which is almost double the UN target of 3.6F
