Global Warming Upped Heat Driving Californias Drought
2015-03-02 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Despite a recent influx of snow and rain this past weekend, extremely low snowpack in the Sierra Nevada has conspired with warm temperatures to keep the state in the grips of one its worst droughts on record for at least another year. The precipitation has been the key ingredient to start the drought, but heat has played an important role in maintaining and intensifying it. A new paper published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science shows that human greenhouse gas emissions...

Global warming helped trigger Syria's civil war

Mashable: Manmade global warming helped spark the brutal civil war in Syria by doubling to tripling the odds that a crippling drought in the Fertile Crescent would occur shortly before the fighting broke out, according to a groundbreaking new study published on March 2. The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is the first to attribute the drought in Syria in large part to global warming. In doing so, it provides powerful evidence backing up the Pentagon and...
Global Warming False Pause Predicted By Researchers
2015-02-28 22:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Viral Global News: According to Penn State University researchers, the recent global warming slowdown represents a "false pause." Observing what they describe to be natural oscillations in the climate system, the team went on to conclude that anthropomorphic global warming was not beginning to subside. "The recent slowdown in global warming has brought into question the reliability of climate model projections of future temperature change and has led to a vigorous debate over whether this slowdown is the result...

Cold Pacific Ocean is offsetting global warming
2015-02-27 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science: Wheres the heat? Greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, continue to be pumped into the atmosphere, but sometime around 1998, the rise in Earths average temperatures slowed, deviating from the rates predicted by models. Scientists have proposed that what some call the pause could be the result of a number of factors, including heat storage in deep ocean waters to unexpectedly high amounts of aerosols in the stratosphere helping deflect solar rays back into space. Now, a new study suggests...

Scientists now know why global warming has slowed down and its not good news for us
2015-02-27 14:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Quartz: It's been called the "hiatus,' "pause,' or "slowdown' and has been a favored meme of climate skeptics for years. Despite the continued increase of greenhouse gas emissions from us, rise of global surface temperatures has been easing since 1998. Two new studies published this week examine the origins of the"pause,' and, surprisingly, suggest that it may persist for years even in our notably warming world. The first study, published on Feb. 26 in the journal Science, looked into likely causes....
