‘Glacial earthquakes’ warn of global warming. Scientists have recorded a significant and unexpected increase in the number of "glacial earthquakes" caused by the sudden movement of Manhattan-sized blocks of ice in Greenland. [News Source]

Greenland glaciers moving more quickly to the ocean. When glaciers on Greenland slide, they sometimes create earthquakes. Over the past five years, the number of these quakes has doubled. [News Source]

Climate change could cause rapid rise in sea levels. Global warming is likely to push air temperatures back to the levels found 129,000 years ago in the next century so sea levels could rise much faster than expected. [News Source]

Sea levels could rise six metres. The Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets could melt more quickly than previously thought, boosting sea levels by up to six metres by 2100, according to a US study. [News Source]

Climate model predicts greater melting, submerged cities. Over the past 30 years, temperatures in the Arctic have risen half a degree Celsius. Experts predict that at current levels of greenhouse gases the earth may warm by as much as five degrees more. [News Source]

Oceans rising fast, new studies find. Glaciers and ice sheets on opposite ends of the Earth are melting faster than previously thought and could cause sea levels around the world to rise as much as 13 to 20 feet by the end of the century, scientists are reporting today. [News Source]

Sea levels could rise faster than thought. Global sea levels could rise much faster than scientists had anticipated if current warming trends continue, speeding the melting of the polar ice sheets, Colorado and Arizona researchers have concluded. [News Source]

Scientists forecast metre rise in sea levels this century. Half of Greenland and vast areas of Antarctica are destined to melt if global warming continues at the same pace until the end of the century, scientists warned yesterday. [News Source]

Melting ice threatens sea-level rise. The Earth is already shaking beneath melting ice as rising temperatures threaten to shrink polar glaciers and raise sea levels around the world. [News Source]

Melting ice sheets could spur oceans’ rise: study. Miami would be a memory, Bangkok a soggy shadow of its former self and the Maldive Islands would vanish if melting polar ice keeps fueling a faster-than-expected rise in sea levels, scientists reported on Thursday. [News Source]

Ice caps melting faster than forecast. The findings are a stunning about-face from previous expert forecasts that such massive melting would take millennia to kick in. [News Source]
