Fossil Fuel Subsidies to Hit $5.3T in 2015, Says IMF Study

RTCC: Subsidies for fossil fuels that cause climate change have soared since 2013, a new study from the International Monetary Fund has revealed. Oil, gas and coal costs will be subsidised to the tune of US$5.3 trillion a year in 2015. The last time the IMF ran the data it calculated they were worth $1.9 trillion. Economists say the latest figures are more accurate as they represent the true cost of energy, which includes the environmental, health and climate impacts of burning fossil fuels. Over...

Study highlights ways to boost weather, climate predictions

ScienceDaily: Long range weather forecasts and climate change projections could be significantly boosted by advances in our understanding of the relationship between layers of Earth's atmosphere -- the stratosphere and troposphere. A team of UK scientists have studied how a circulation changes in the stratosphere (above 10 km) can influence both weather and climate conditions on the surface of Earth. The experts, who include Professor Mark Baldwin from the University of Exeter, argue that the predictability...

Study Finds Sun Belt Population Growth & Warming Climate Could Quadruple Exposure to Extreme Heat
2015-05-18 19:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: A valuable study published this week in Nature Climate Change projects that exposure to extreme heat in the United States is likely to rise enormously by mid century, driven equally by demographic shifts boosting Sun Belt populations and projected changes in heat waves in a warming climate. Seth Borenstein at the Associated Press has written a nice summary of the research, undertaken by a multi-disciplinary team at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., and the City University...

Indian Ocean storing up heat from global warming, says study
2015-05-18 19:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The worlds oceans are playing a game of hot potato with the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists have zeroed in on the tropical Pacific as a major player in taking up that heat. But while it might have held that heat for a bit, new research shows that the Pacific has passed the potato to the Indian Ocean, which has seen an unprecedented rise in heat content over the past decade. The new work builds on a series of papers that have tracked the causes for whats been dubbed...
