Climate Letter #522

New research supports previous claims of irreversible and near total West Antarctic glacial collapse.  The final result would be ten feet of sea level rise.  This report, unlike the one from last year, looks for a much less rapid rate of unfolding, which is a critically important question that has very little evidence to go by.

Reactions to the new way to measure East Antarctic ice (as reported here yesterday) are coming in.  (Fox News  claims it disproves the entire theory of global warming!)  This post opens up an important point that needs more attention, as follows:  The new model “focuses on the movement of the bedrock deep under Antarctica’s ice. Earth’s mantle rises when relieved of the burden of ice sheets and glaciers. The same phenomenon occurred in Antarctica, Zwally said, but it hasn’t been accurately included in the old models of bedrock movement. That, he said, may be behind the difference between his measurements and those of the rest of the scientific community.”  So–if continental bedrock has presumably been sinking under the growing weight of the ice sheet, has there been an opposing isostatic reaction in other places, quite possibly from under the surrounding ocean floor?  Has that been taken into his sea level account?  And just how could the size of such a reaction be either witnessed or measured to begin with?

An ecologist shows how the US Congress’ eyes will be opened.  He knows that farmers are worried about the growing unpredictability of weather and sees giant corporations willing to change their ways, and more.  All about common sense, and facing reality as it is.

A rare hurricane (tropical cyclone) strikes Yemen.  This is an extreme but not unprecedented event.  It can be added to the long list of unusually intensive weather events that are happening in a wide spread of locations.

An explanation of how the lithium-air (or oxygen) battery works.  This is the “ultimate” battery that has created a good bit of interest among researchers and much past frustration.  There is recent progress in gaining an understanding of the basic working principles, giving new life to the research.
