Chris Christie: 'Global warming is real'
2015-05-09 13:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Hill: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie broke slightly with many of the announced and potential Republican presidential candidates, saying that climate change is real and that humans contribute to it. I think global warming is real. I dont think thats deniable, Christie said at a Keene, N.H., event, according to MSNBC. And I do think human activity contributes to it. Christie later added that the degree to which humans contribute to climate change is still subject to debate. Christie has previously...

Renewable Energy isn't a Shortcut to Reversing Global Warming
2015-05-09 05:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CounterPunch: Denmark has distinguished itself as the country moving the fastest toward the eventual replacement of fossil fuels. Its goal of 100 percent renewable energy by 2050 is laudable, but the assumption that this path will reverse global warming while otherwise continuing business as usual, is unrealistic. At first glance, Denmark has made remarkable strides. The countrys intention to totally eliminate fossil fuels by the midpoint of the 21st century appears to be realistic. Already, Denmark is the...

A strong El Nio may quell debate about a warming 'hiatus'

Sydney Morning Herald: Roughly a year ago, scientists poring over temperature readings of the Pacific from satellites and a depleted array of ocean buoys were so sure an El Nino was on the way, the debate was mostly how strong it would be. The event, though, failed to materialise largely because the winds failed to reverse their normal course and blow to the east. Without the reinforcement, the relative warmth of the eastern Pacific compared with the west broke up, and an El Nino did not occur. That false start is...

Is there a global warming pause or not?
2015-05-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit County: Talk of a global warming pause, or hiatus, has been widespread the past few years, as the rate of increasing temperature slowed slightly since the 1990s. But multiple lines of evidence show that global warming hasn`t paused at all, which means that talk of a pause is misleading. Recent warming has been slower than the long term trend, but this fluctuation differs little from past fluctuations in warming rate, including past periods of more rapid than average warming. So how did the idea of...
Report: Global emissions goals still arent enough prevent dangerous warming

Washington Post: When it comes to combating climate change, many scientists and policy makers focus on one major goal: cut carbon emissions enough to keep the planets average surface temperature from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius above its pre-industrial level. But a new analysis, published on Monday by the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, said were still falling short of the mark. For years, the 2-degree target has been touted by experts as a kind of climate threshold:...
