The physics part is that to first order, you expect the rate of continental ice melt to increase with temperature, and also the rate at which heat penetrates into the ocean below the mixed layer (for the mixed layer indeed we use a term relating temperature to sea level, not its rate of rise).

Glaciers and ice caps in Arctic Canada are continuing to lose mass at a rate that has been increasing since 1987, reflecting a trend towards warmer summer air temperatures and longer melt seasons.

If temperature rises further, the rate at which the ice melts — and hence the rate of sea - level rise will increase.

Sea level rises reflect melting of the Greenland ice sheet, where melting since measurements began in 1979 increased by 30 percent (S. Konrad, University of Colorado, AGU, 2008), and of the west Antarctica ice sheet which is losing ice at rates 60 percent faster than 10 years ago (British Antarctic Survey, Nature Geoscience, 2008).

Melting of glaciers and ice sheets is also contributing to sea level rise at increasing rates.6

They find that the portion of snow melt occurring at moderate and high melt rates in Western North America is projected to decrease, while the portion occurring at low melt rates is projected to increase.

These sea level change predictions may be underestimates, however, because they do not account for any increases in the rate at which the world's major ice sheets are melting.

that there is a straightforward relationship between an increase in the global average temperature and the rate at which glaciers melt in the Himalayas [italics added]

The IPCC 2007 Fourth Assessment of climate change science concluded that large reductions in the emissions of greenhouse gases, principally CO2, are needed soon to slow the increase of atmospheric concentrations, and avoid reaching unacceptable levels.However, climate change is happening even faster than previously estimated; global CO2 emissions since 2000 have been higher than even the highest predictions, Arctic sea ice has been melting at rates much faster than predicted, and the rise in the sea level has become more rapid.

In addition, glacial melt from mountain systems, Greenland and Antarctica is contributing ever - increasing volumes of water to the global ocean, forcing on the waters» rise at ever - increasing rates.

Amplifying methane release in the Arctic has been visible since the mid 2000s and Greenland and West Antarctic melt rates have been increasing at an exponential rate since about 1995.

Now that enough glaciers have melted, ocean circulation has probably increased to the point that future melting will increase at a greatly accelerated rate.

An «intermediate scenario» that projects carbon emissions peaking around mid-century and about 4 feet of sea level rise globally, with ice melting at a moderate rate that increases over time.

Real world observations tell us that the IPCC's speculative computer models do not work, ice is not melting at an enhanced rate, sea - level rise is not accelerating, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events is not increasing, and dangerous global warming is not occurring.»

They determined, however, that this volume had now increased by a further 3 cubic miles each year, prompted by an acceleration in the rate at which the ice caps and glaciers are melting.Unlike what many other scientists have said — including, most prominently, NASA's James Hansen (who believes that a rise in 17 inches by 2100 will be mainly precipitated by the melting of ice sheets)-- the authors of this study believe that the loss of ice from glaciers and ice caps will account for the majority of the expected rise in sea levels.

The retreat has been most noticeable at high elevations, driven in large part by warming temperatures contributing directly to melting and indirectly to more precipitation falling as rain rather than snow, in turn increasing the rate at which the glaciers move and increasing the size of glacial lakes, both decreasing ice cover.

The Glacier Contribution to Sea Level graph demonstrates how the contribution from melting glaciers began increasing at a faster rate starting in the 1990s.

From the SOCIETY FOR GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY and the «department of robusted models» comes this Today, at the Microbiology Society's Annual Conference in Liverpool, scientists will reveal how Arctic microbes are increasing the rate at which glaciers melt, in a process not accounted for in current climate change models.
