Earth could become hotter than thought, study warns
2016-04-09 03:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Global warming could make the planet far hotter than currently projected because today's scientific models do not correctly account for the influence of clouds, researchers said this week. The study in the journal Science was led by researchers at Yale University and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. When climate scientists look ahead to how much the planet's surface temperature may warm up in response to a doubling of carbon dioxide -- a byproduct of fossil fuel burning -- they typically...

Melting ice sheets changing the way the Earth wobbles on its axis, says Nasa
2016-04-09 02:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Global warming is changing the way the Earth wobbles on its polar axis, a new Nasa study has found. Melting ice sheets, especially in Greenland, are changing the distribution of weight on Earth. And that has caused both the North Pole and the wobble, which is called polar motion, to change course, according to a study published on Friday in the journal Science Advances. Scientists and navigators have been accurately measuring the true pole and polar motion since 1899, and for almost the entire...
