Global Warming Might Create Lopsided Planet
Extra precipitation expected as a result of global warming could create a lopsided world in which sea ice increases around the South Pole while the far north melts away. ~ For Antarctica, the new study concludes, the extra precipitation will mean deeper snow, which will suppress sea ice below, making it thicker over time.
No Stopping it Now: Seas to Rise 4 Inches or More this Century
Even if all industrial pollution and auto emissions suddenly ceased today, Earth’s climate will warm at least 1 degree by the year 2100 and seas will rise 4 inches (11 centimeters), according to a new study.
Toasty 2005? Year Could Become Warmest on Record
Last year was the fourth warmest since the late 1800s and climate conditions in place could cause 2005 to be the warmest, NASA scientists said this week. ~ Some scientists argue that the human contribution to global warming has been insignificant.
Space Ring Could Shade Earth and Stop Global Warming
A wild idea to combat global warming suggests creating an artificial ring of small particles or spacecrafts around Earth to shade the tropics and moderate climate extremes. There would be side effects, proponents admit.
Of these four, the Space Ring scares me the most.
