As Greenland's ice melts, new research predicts even more severe sea-level rise.

 The study came to a more dire conclusion than previous assessments, in part because it utilized a different approach to calculate ice loss. Image source According to a new study published on Monday, the melting of the Greenland ice sheet might eventually raise global sea levels by at least 10 inches even if humans immediately quit burning the fossil fuels that are warming the world to dangerous levels. The study, published in Nature Climate Change, focuses on what researchers call "committed" sea-level rise, a metric that accounts for past warming. That approach contrasts with most previous research, which was based on computer modeling and expected significantly lower ice losses from the Greenland ice sheet. The most recent assessment from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, for example, predicts a two to five-inch rise in sea level by 2100. The 10-inch increase anticipated in the current study, which does not provide a timescale, may be much high

'With what has transpired in Mexico: earthquakes, hurricanes, child fatalities, God is asking us to make us alert,' says the Virgin. However, some say it is only a psychological ploy as Mexico continues to mourn following the earthquake. Image source On a recent Sunday, the Rev. Adrián Vázquez led parishioners seated in pews and plastic chairs in celebrating 10 a.m. Mass under a white tent on the street outside Our Lady of the Angels, flanked by piles of wreckage

The Boys Image source  The father of Soldier Boy will kind of join " The Boys " for its fourth season. The addition of Jeffrey Dean Morgan to the cast of the Amazon superhero series " Supernatural " for Season 4 is sure to delight fans of the long-running CW series, as it represents yet another reunion between a former cast member and "Supernatural" creator Eric Kripke, who is currently the showrunner of "The Boys." The character of "Walking Dead" actor Morgan will remain a mystery for the time being, but he will appear frequently as a guest star on "The Boys" in its upcoming fourth season.
