Sentences with phrase «also accelerates sea level rise»

Arctic warming alters weather patterns far from the region and also accelerates sea level rise globally with the melting of the massive Greenland ice sheet.

Not exact matches

Reports of damaging ocean acidification, accelerating sea - level rise or unprecedented decreases of polar and glacial ice are also mostly myths designed to terrify people into accepting harmful policies that allegedly «save the planet.»

The Asian region also faces a range of climate impacts, including extreme heat, imperiled drinking water resources, and accelerated sea - level rise, which can lead to widespread population displacement, food insecurity, and costly damage to coastal cities and towns.

It also can cause many downstream dangerous consequences, including accelerated sea level rise and the release of methane, the ultra-potent GhG (greenhouse gas), which resides beneath sea ice and the Arctic permafrost.

The loud divergence between sea - level reality and climate change theory — the climate models predict an accelerated sea - level rise driven by the anthropogenic CO2 emission — has been also evidenced in other works such as Boretti (2012a, b), Boretti and Watson (2012), Douglas (1992), Douglas and Peltier (2002), Fasullo et al. (2016), Jevrejeva et al. (2006), Holgate (2007), Houston and Dean (2011), Mörner 2010a, b, 2016), Mörner and Parker (2013), Scafetta (2014), Wenzel and Schröter (2010) and Wunsch et al. (2007) reporting on the recent lack of any detectable acceleration in the rate of sea - level rise.

Scientists have recently observed major changes in these glaciers: several have broken up at the ocean end (the terminus), and many have doubled the speed at which they are retreating.2, 5 This has meant a major increase in the amount of ice and water they discharge into the ocean, contributing to sea - level rise, which threatens low - lying populations.2, 3,5 Accelerated melting also adds freshwater to the oceans, altering ecosystems and changing ocean circulation and regional weather patterns.7 (See Greenland ice sheet hotspot for more information.)

It will also confirm the accelerated rate of change for impacts such as sea - level rise, the steady retreat of Arctic sea ice and quickened melting of ice sheets and glaciers, as well as offer more detail on scenarios that will shape international negotiations over both short - term and long - term greenhouse gas emissions, including how long «business as usual» can be sustained without dangerous risk.

It is likely that sea level rise throughout the Northern Hemisphere has also accelerated since 1850.

BTW they also just published a report of an accelerated rate of sea level rise

As team leader Martyn Tranter, a biogeochemist at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, explains, «We're driven by curiosity, but also the fear that all this new biology may accelerate global sea level rise.»
