Rob Deconto News Today

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Well, I see that the climate hypemeisters are at it again. Here's Google News on the subject. Figure 1. The usual, from the usual suspects. So I thought I'd take a look at some of the claims. To start with, here's an overview of the sea level rise around the…

<p>Genetic analyses of an Antarctic octopus show that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) collapsed during the Last Interglacial ~129,000 to 116,000 years ago when temperatures were only about 1 degree Celsius (°C) warmer than preindustrial levels. The findings suggest that WAIS collapse and resultant sea-level rise could be caused by even the minimal temperature rises projected by the most optimistic climate change mitigation plans. Climate change is driving unprecedented change t...

COP28 ended with a historic climate agreement to begin moving away from fossil fuels, but stopped short of mandating phasing them out.

A series of reports ahead of a global climate conference make clear that rising sea levels are a more pressing threat than once predicted.

The United Nations and climate scientists show glaciers melting in Antarctica and Greenland will cause sea levels to rise, threatening Miami and other cities.

A new study by the International Cryosphere Climate Initiative reveals sea level rise is more serious than thought

Top scientists say the world’s ice sheets are melting more rapidly than expected and that world leaders must ramp up their climate ambitions to avoid a catastrophic rise in sea levels.

R. Mark Leckie and Rob DeConto of the Department of Earth, Geographic and Climate Sciences are part of the Sensitivity of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to 2 Degrees Celsius of Warming – or SWAIS2C – project.

Scientists believe the melting of all the ice in Antarctica is no longer a far-away possibility but a coming certainty. The magnitude of this event would

The last time CO2 levels were as high as today was 3 million years ago during a much warmer time on Earth called the Pliocene. It's a provoking thought for Earth Day.
