Surging Seas: Sea level rise analysis by Climate Central

Global warming has raised global sea level about 8" since 1880, and the rate of rise is accelerating. Rising seas dramatically increase the odds of damaging floods from storm surges.

Rivers are rapidly draining Greenland, new NASA-UCLA study shows - Boing Boing

Global warming leads to innovation: Drone boats! Behar designed two types of remotely controlled boats to collect data from the surface water. One was a drone boat that measured the depth of the water and how much light it reflected, allowing the researchers to create a scale with which to calibrate the depth of the surface water from satellite images. This boat was used on lakes and slow-flowing rivers. For dangerous, swift-flowing rivers, Behar developed disposable robotic river drifters that measured streamflow velocity, depth and temperature as they swept downstream.

Obama’s “War on Coal” Is Worth Fighting

John Cassidy on Obama and the proposed new EPA regulations: http://nyr.kr/1iMkenT

“He has taken the initiative and put the onus on other countries that have used the lack of U.S. action as an excuse for doing nothing, or very little, to reduce their carbon emissions. … If the new policy goes into effect, the United States, at long last, will be able to tell them ‘Do as I do’ rather than just ‘Do as I say.’”

Scavengers on boats salvage plastic waste for recycling on the Citarum river choked with garbage in Cihampelas district in West Java province. The river winds 297 kilometres (185 miles) across the island of Java, cutting through the sprawling Indonesian capital Jakarta. Labelled “the most-polluted in the world” by a local commission of government agencies and NGOs charged with its clean-up, the river is the only source of water for 15 million Indonesians who live on its banks, despite the risks to health and crops.

Wyoming, the nation’s top coal-producing state, is the first to reject new K-12 science standards proposed by national education groups mainly because of global warming components. The Wyoming Board of Education decided recently that the Next Generation Science Standards need more review after questions were raised about the treatment of man-made global warming. Board President Ron Micheli said the review will look into whether “we can’t get some standards that are Wyoming standards and standards we all can be proud of.”

Wyoming rejects national science standards for being too inconveniently true. Big Oil is apparently the Roman Inquisition of our day.
