Doubt cast on rising Antarctic snowfall.
Thursday August 10th 2006, 8:00 pm

As the Earth's climate rapidly warms, one of many uncertainties is the fate of the massive ice sheets at the ends of the world. [News Source]

No sign of increased snowfall in Antarctica.
Thursday August 10th 2006, 8:00 pm

Southern Hemisphere warming has surprisingly not led to increased snowfall over Antarctica during the past 50 years. If confirmed, this suggests that global sea-level rise might proceed faster than previously thought. [News Source]

Greenland ice cap may be melting at triple speed.
Thursday August 10th 2006, 8:00 pm

The world's second largest ice cap may be melting three times faster than indicated by previous measurements, according to newly released gravity data collected by satellites. [News Source]

Greenland melt ’speeding up.’
Thursday August 10th 2006, 8:00 pm

Data from a US space agency satellite show that the melting rate has accelerated since 2004. If the ice cap were to completely disappear, global sea levels would rise by 21 feet. [News Source]

Melting of Greenland’s ice sheet quickens.
Thursday August 10th 2006, 8:00 pm

The melting of Greenland’s ice sheet is accelerating, threatening an increasing rise in sea levels. [News Source]

Greenland ice melt may be faster than thought.
Thursday August 10th 2006, 8:00 pm

Greenland's ice sheet is melting more rapidly than expected, according to data obtained from two NASA satellites that measure the gravitational pull of the earth's rivers, mountains and glaciers. [News Source]

Greenland’s melting ice sheet may speed rise in sea level.
Thursday August 10th 2006, 8:00 pm

Two new scientific studies measuring Greenland's rapidly melting ice sheet and the pace of Antarctic snowfall suggest that the sea level may be rising faster than researchers previously assumed. [News Source]

No dice for Greenland ice.
Thursday August 10th 2006, 8:00 pm

Something ominous may be happening beneath Greenland's vast ice sheet. The sheet now seems to be melting and sliding seaward at an accelerating rate--a condition that could eventually endanger coastal populations and affect Earth's climate. [News Source]

Polar snows fail to halt sea’s rise as globe warms.
Thursday August 10th 2006, 8:00 pm

Global sea levels are now tipped to rise significantly higher than expected because Antarctica is failing to "lock up" increased moisture caused by global warming. [News Source]

Rock’s green days.
Thursday August 10th 2006, 8:00 pm

In a summer beset by bubbling thermometers and soaring gas prices, dozens of rock bands are doing more than just singing about environmental causes. [News Source]
