If A Glacier Collapses In Antarctica, Does It Make A Sound?
A science fiction writer has an idea for how to slow the speed of glaciers in Antarctica.

A new study claims failure to limit global warming to no more than 2 degrees C will lead to irreversible loss of the Antarctic ice cap. And that means sea levels will rise faster and faster with no way to stop it.
For years (and we mean many years), the ocean helped us mitigate the early effects of human emissions by absorbing greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and heat, from the atmosphere. As a result, more than 90 percent of the warming that happened on Earth between 1971 and 2010 occurred in the ocean.
The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite will bring a new level of precision to measuring the amount and rate of sea level rise in 90% of the world’s oceans.
Policy makers, investors, entrepreneurs and researchers interested in taking advantage of machine learning to help our climate will find this useful.
Every month, climate scientists make new discoveries that advance our understanding of climate change’s causes and impacts. The research gives a clearer picture of the threats we already face and explores what’s to come if we don’t reduce emissions at a quicker pace.
“Why did you choose to come to Antarctica?” my fellow passengers asked shortly after we exchanged names. So many answers quickly surfaced in my mind: the wildlife; the icebergs; the history of exploration.

The Army Corps of Engineers has a plan to deal with rising sea levels — buy homes people are willing to sell below market value and evict the rest.
Coastal communities in Fiji are having to move inland due to climate change. Its community leader, Barney Dunn, has been forced to witness his ancestral homeland being engulfed by the rising waves of the sea.
