Fastest CO2 increase on record
2016-06-16 06:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EarthSky: The recent El Nio has driven a rise in atmospheric CO2. Scientists expect it to surpass 400 parts per million for the year and stay there at least a human lifetime. Climate scientists report that the human-caused rise in atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide is getting an extra boost this year from El Nio, resulting in the fastest annual increase of CO2 levels on record. According to a paper published June 13, 2016 in the journal Nature Climate Change, 2016 will be the first year with...

Guardian: Diesel vehicles have taken a record share of the market on London roads in recent years, despite warnings blaming them for contributing to the capitals illegal levels of air pollution. Sadiq Khan, the new mayor of London, has been lobbying for a diesel scrappage scheme, a policy that was backed by his predecessor, Boris Johnson, as a way of tackling the illegal high nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels caused by diesels. Experts have been speaking out since 2012 about the link between diesel vehicles...

Track meets were moved to the evenings to avoid the soaring temperatures. Marching band members ditched their formal hats and uniforms. Forecasters took to the airwaves to warn viewers, especially the elderly and infirm, to stay indoors and stay hydrated. Temperatures soared over 110 degree F., in several...

Greenland Hits Record 75°F, Sets Melt Record As Hottest Year
2016-06-15 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: Last Thursday, Greenland`s capital hit 75°F, which was hotter than New York City. This was the highest temperature ever recorded there in June - in a country covered with enough ice to raise sea levels more than 20 feet. It comes hot on the heels of the hottest May on record for the entire globe, according to NASA. As the map above shows, May temperature anomalies in parts of the Arctic and Antarctic were as high as 17°F (9.4°C) above the 1951-1980 average for the month. And this all follows...
Greenland ice melt goes into overdrive after record heat wave

Mashable: In 2016, Greenland has seemingly been on a mission to prove that it, too, can experience truly warm weather of the sort that is typically confined to far more temperate areas. So far in June, the world's largest island has experienced record warmth that would be considered mild even in the lower 48 states. Take June 9, for example. That day it was warmer in Greenland's capital of Nuuk -- at 75 degrees Fahrenheit, or 24 degrees Celsius, than it was in New York City, which had a high temperature...
