According to a new study published in the journal Nature, the disaster scenario of rising sea levels could play out much sooner than expected. Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica may become unstable in the next 30 to 50 years. “We are not saying this is definitely going to happen,” said David Pollard, a researcher at Pennsylvania […]

Humans Set World Pollution Record
by Daniel Brouse Scientists wrote in the journal Nature Geoscience, “Given currently available records, the present anthropogenic carbon release rate is unprecedented during the past 66 million years.” The largest known natural surge is believed to have happened 56 million years ago and was likely caused by a release of frozen methane beneath the seabed. […]

Feedback Loops
Feedback loops accelerate global warming. In the 1990’s, the Membrane Domain started publishing research on human induced climate change. The research team was the first to put forth the hypothesis that global warming is an exponential phenomenon. Up to that point, the scientific community had based their forecasts on a linear event. The Membrane Domain […]

Greenland Is Melting
NASA — Greenland’s snowy surface has been getting darker over the past two decades, absorbing more heat from the sun and increasing snow melt, a new study of satellite data shows. That trend is likely to continue, with the surface’s reflectivity, or albedo, decreasing by as much as 10 percent by the end of the […]

Oceans Rising at Fastest Rate
A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences states that oceans are rising at a faster rate than any time in the last 3,000 years. “We can say with 95 percent probability that the 20th-century rise was faster than any of the previous 27 centuries,” said Bob Kopp, a climate scientist […]
Contrails Versus Chemtrails
by Daniel Brouse When jet engines fly across the sky, there are two different things that happen. Both are likely causing harm to the environment. Neither are being done on purpose. That is to say — there is no conspiracy to spray chemicals. There is no such thing as intentional “chemtrails”. What is really happening? […]

Diet And Global Warming
For quite some time, the scientific consensus has been eating meat is worse for the environment than being a vegetarian; however, a new study found a very different result. Lettuce is “over three times worse in greenhouse gas emissions than eating bacon,” according to researchers from the Carnegie Mellon University. Paul Fischbeck, study co-author and […]

Climate Change Immigrants and Refugees
By Daniel Brouse EARTH — As human induced climate change is realized, mammals have started showing patterns of migration. Some conditions are driving animals south due to the loss of their habitat (mostly animals living on ice, such as, seals and polar bears.) Some conditions are allowing animals to migrate further north (like humpback whales.) […]
