Forget the Press Coverage: Conflicting Reports on Rising Oceans Are a Fake Controversy
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/ 80beats/ 2008/ 09/ 05/ forget-the-press-cover…Climate scientists have long predicted that global warming will melt polar ice sheets and cause sea levels to rise throughout the century, potentially swamping island nations and flooding low-lying coastal cities. But exactly how much ocean waters will rise has yet to be settled.

http://www.green-blog.org/ 2008/ 09/ 04/ la-nina-temporarily-cools-down-global-t…You might have heard from the climate change deniers that this year will be the coolest globally this century. And that is true. Newly released data from the UK Met Office shows that during the first half of 2008 the global temperatures was more than 0.1 Celcius cooler than any other year after 2000.

The Cryosphere, components and world maps
http://maps.grida.no/ go/ graphic/ the-cryosphere-components-and-world-mapsSnow and the various forms of ice - the cryosphere - play different roles within the climate system. The two continental ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland actively influence the global climate over time scales of millennia to millions of years, but may also have more rapid effects on, for example, sea level.

Martian Gullies Were Formed by Liquid Water
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/ 80beats/ 2008/ 08/ 26/ martian-gullies-were-f…Martian Gullies Were Formed by Liquid Water The deep furrows carved in the sides of Martian craters were most likely formed by snowmelt in the planet’s recent geological past, according to a new study. The findings indicate that seasonal flows of liquid water may have streamed down the craters’ flanks when Mars was a wetter planet, as recently as a few hundred thousand years ago.

Arctic Going to Hell in a Hand-Basket
http://www.climateark.org/ blog/ 2008/ 08/ arctic_going_to_hell_in_a_hand.aspThe Arctic's alarmingly rapid loss of summer sea ice [search] continues. The fact the ice has not totally melted this year is no consolation, as last year summer sea ice shrank to a record low, and total loss of sea ice -- which was predicted to occur in over sixty years only a few years ago -- now seems assured by 2030 and may even be imminent.
