New measurements from a NASA satellite show for the first time, how climate-driven increases of liquid water storage on land have affected the rate of sea level rise.
The combination of likely net damage costs of climate change and the risk of catastrophe has generated political will to address the problem was a factor leading to the Paris Agreement.
Scientists have found evidence suggesting that melting icecap water from the interior of Greenland is adding to sea level rise faster than previously realized.
As scientists seek to explain the apparent slowing in global warming this century, the future seems clear: without a huge cut in emissions, there’s hotter times ahead.
