It even surprises many experts to learn how severely the IPCC understates projected sea level rise (SLR). Paradoxically, the omission is due to their good science and rigorous discipline. Since they can’t agree on exactly how much Antarctic m...

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 female isn’t, based on data collated in Israel; other studies haven’t found that correlation and...

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, and rising temperatures in turn make a further rise in sea levels unavoidable. The only question i...

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 world ahead of the rising sea, which is pushing coastlines farther inland. To protect property value...
