After warming fast, part of Antarctica gets a chill: Study
2016-07-21 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The Antarctic Peninsula, among the fastest warming places on Earth last century, has since cooled due to natural swings in the local climate, scientists said on Wednesday, adding that the respite from the thaw is likely to be brief. Rapid warming until the late 1990s on the peninsula, which snakes up toward South America, triggered the break-up of ancient ice shelves, which are vast expanses of ice floating on the sea at the end of glaciers, and declines in some penguin colonies. But a shift...
A recent pause in Antarctic Peninsula warming
2016-07-20 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] The rapid warming of the Antarctic Peninsula, which occurred from the early-1950s to the late 1990s, has paused. Stabilisation of the ozone hole along with natural climate variability were significant in bringing about the change. Together these influences have now caused the peninsula to enter a temporary cooling phase. Temperatures remain higher than measured during the middle of the 20th Century and glacial retreat is still taking place. However, scientists predict that if greenhou…

Indian minister links US military to global warming
2016-07-19 19:48:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: Indias new environment minister Anil Madhav Dave has emerged as a fan of conspiracy theories, suggesting an Alaska-based weapons project causes global warming. "It strikes the upper atmosphere with a focused and steerable electromagnetic beam," said Dave in quotes reported by the Business Standard. HAARP is an advanced model of a super powerful ionospheric heater which may cause the globe to warm and have a global warming effect." Dave was responding to a question in Indias parliament...

Ocean warming primary cause of Antarctic Peninsula glacier retreat
2016-07-14 23:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A new study has found for the first time that ocean warming is the primary cause of retreat of glaciers on the western Antarctic Peninsula. The Peninsula is one of the largest current contributors to sea-level rise and this new finding will enable researchers to make better predictions of ice loss from this region. The research, by scientists at Swansea University and British Antarctic Survey, is published in the journal Science today (Friday, July 15). The study reports that glaciers flowing...

Ocean warming and acidification impact on calcareous phytoplankton
2016-07-13 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Researchers from the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the Universitat Autnoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB), the University of Cambridge and the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom warn of the negative impacts of rapid ocean warming and ocean acidification on coccolithophores, and consequently in the regulatory processes of atmospheric and ocean concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2). Two new studies recently published in Limnology & Oceanography and Biogeosciences...
