Global Warming Progressing Slower Than We Thought
2015-04-22 19:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: "Based on our analysis, a middle-of-the-road warming scenario is more likely, at least for now," researcher Patrick T. Brown, a doctoral student in climatology at Duke University, said in a statement. "But this could change." The new findings, based on 1,000 years of temperature records, shows that natural variability in surface temperatures - caused by interactions between the ocean and atmosphere, and other natural factors - can account for observed changes in the recent rates of warming from...

Natural Gas Leaks: A $30 Billion Opportunity and Global Warming Menace
2015-04-21 18:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Forbes: A new study released Tuesday suggests that the global oil and gas industries allow as much as 3.6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and almost certainly far more to escape into the atmosphere annually. The leakage rate represents at least $30 billion in lost revenues, the analysis found, and it reinforces previous studies suggesting that the much-touted climate benefits of the expanding shale boom are unlikely to be realized unless these so-called fugitive emissions are brought under control....

Global warming more moderate than worst-case models, empirical data suggest
2015-04-21 18:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: We are seeing "middle of the road" warming. Natural variability in surface temperatures -- caused by interactions between the ocean and atmosphere, and other natural factors -- can account for observed changes in the recent rates of warming from decade to decade, new data suggests.

Phytoplankton, reducing greenhouse gases or amplifying Arctic warming?
2015-04-21 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Phytoplankton, commonly known as plant plankton that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, are potentially a key driver of Arctic warming under greenhouse warming, a study reveals. Scientists with Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M), and Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST), presented on Monday, April 20, in Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)…

Marco Rubio doubts manmade global warming 'climate is always changing'
2015-04-19 21:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, who announced his presidential candidacy last week, told Bob Schieffer of CBS News on Sunday that he does not believe in manmade global warming. Instead, Rubio said he recognizes the climate is changing, but that scientists have not determined what percentage of such changes are due to human activities, such as burning coal, oil and gas for energy, compared to natural climate variability. Unfortunately for Rubio, scientists have been quite clear that the majority...
