New Study Predicts Higher Sea-Level Rise than IPCC Projections

According to the predictions of a new international study headed by the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, the faster melting of polar ice sheets than projected earlier may lead to a nearly 1.3 m rise in the ocean levels by 2100.

Study Recommends Steps to Conserve Tropical Forests, Stabilize Climate

All living things have tipping points: points of no return, beyond which they cannot thrive. A new report in Science shows that maximum daily temperatures above 32.2 degrees Celsius (about 90 degrees Fahrenheit) cause tropical forests to lose stored carbon more quickly.

Global Warming is Causing Marine Species to Look for More Temperate Environments

Global warming is causing species to search for more temperate environments in which to migrate to, but it is marine species - according to the latest results of a Franco-American study mainly involving scientists from the CNRS, Ifremer, the Université Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier and the University of Picardy Jules Verne (1) - that are leading the way by moving up to six times faster towards the poles than their terrestrial congeners.
