 Slip Sliding AwayWhile locals on the Outer Banks tussle over whether global warming is real and causing oceans to rise, the islands themselves are gradually, inevitably going under. |  Global Warming Elevates Odds of ...Global Warming Elevates Odds of Extreme Weather, From Australia to California - Manmade global warming is causing up to a tenfold increase in the risk for prolonged and severe heat waves, and is influencing other extreme weather and climate events, a slew of new studies found. |  Arctic Sea Ice Update - NASAThe melting of sea ice in the Arctic is well on its way toward its annual "minimum," that time when the floating ice cap covers less of the Arctic Ocean than at any other period during the year. While the ice will continue to shrink until around mid-September, it is unlikely that this year’s summer low will break a new record. Still, this year’s melt rates are in line with the sustained decline of the Arctic ice cover observed by NASA and other satellites over the last several decades. |

 East Antarctic ice sheet ...East Antarctic ice sheet 'vulnerable' to temperature changes - The world's thickest ice sheet may be at greater risk from variations in the climate than previously believed. |  Climate Change Leaves Hares ... Climate Change Leaves Hares Wearing The Wrong Colors - The effects of climate change often happen on a large scale, like drought or a rise in sea level. In the hills outside Missoula, Mont., wildlife biologists are looking at a change to something very small: the snowshoe hare. |  Warm Ocean Rapidly Melting AntarcticWarm Ocean Rapidly Melting Antarctic Ice Shelf from Below - For five years, a scientific expedition tried reaching Pine Island Glacier ice shelf in a remote, wind-ridden corner of Antarctica. The obstacles to get to the ice shelf were extreme, but the science goal was simple: to measure how fast the sea was melting the 37-mile long ice tongue from underneath by drilling through the ice shelf. |
