Nordic Conference calls for immediate action on climate change adaptation

Just like the financial crisis the climate crisis will not vanish by waiting and hoping for the best. Even if greenhouse gas emission reductions were to succeed in attenuating the extent of climate change in the upcoming decades, humankind will still have to adapt to committed changes in climate that are already unavoidable due to historical emissions. Climate change adaptation will be discussed in the Second Nordic Conference on Climate Change Adaptation, in Helsinki 29-31 August.

GFZ Study Helps Determine Mass Loss in Greenland Ice Sheet

Researchers from the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences have discovered that the mass loss through iceberg calving, melting and fluctuations in rainfall is highest in southwest and northwest Greenland. There is a continuous mass loss in the Greenland ice sheet and thus, it contributes at approximately 0.7 mm per year to the presently observed sea level change of around 3 mm per year. This trend rises every year by an additional 0.07 mm.
