Study: global warming pause caused by natural climate cycles

Blue and Green: The so-called global warming pause in recent years is likely to have been caused by natural variations in the climate cycle, not a slowdown in man-made climate change, according to a team of scientist. The research, which has been published in Science, notes the importance of ensuring that studies highlight the difference between man-made climate change and changes that occur naturally. Michael Mann, a professor of Meteorology at Penn State University, US, and one of the researchers, said,...

Cool Pacific Ocean Slowed Global Warming
2015-02-27 13:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: The Pacific Ocean has been a planetary air conditioner for the past two decades, but the relief may soon end, a new study finds. The Pacific and Atlantic oceans undergo decades-long natural oscillations that alter their sea surface temperatures. These natural cycles flip-flop between cooler and warmer phases. Over the past 130 years, the tempo of global warming has revved up or slowed down in tune with changing ocean temperatures, researchers reported today (Feb. 26) in the journal Science. For...

The `Pause' in Global Warming Finally Explained
2015-02-26 20:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: Lets be clear: The planet is still getting hotter. The so-called pause, or hiatus, in global warming means the rate of temperature rise has slowed. The average global temperature is still going up, but in the past 10 to 15 years it hasnt been going up as quickly as it was in the decades before. Although the ongoing increase is trouble, a slower rate is preferable. The question is: Why did the slowdown occur--and how long will it last? We now have an answer. Three well-known climate researchers...

Inhofe brings snowball on Senate floor as evidence globe is not warming
2015-02-26 19:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CNN: Sen. James Inhofe, R-Oklahoma, who strongly denies that climate change exists, brought a large snowball on the Senate floor Thursday as a real life example that the globe is not warming. "In case we have forgotten because we keep hearing that 2014 has been the warmest year on record," said Inhofe, who is the chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee while holding the lumpy snowball in his hand. "I asked the chair, do you know what this is? It's a snowball just from outside here. So...

Study predicts global warming will see Australian deserts grow bigger
2015-02-26 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: A United States climate study says global warming will cause Australian deserts to get bigger and expand to the south. The study's lead researcher William Lau, of the University of Maryland, said changes in atmospheric circulation was contributing to global dryness, in terms of a reduction of relative humidity in the sub tropics. Dr Lau said he believed the changes were directly related to prolonged droughts. "We provide a physical basis for inferring that greenhouse warming is likely to...
