A 23-year experiment finds surprising global warming impacts underway

Guardian: A new paper published in Global Change Biology summarizes the results of a 23-year experiment monitoring how global warming is impacting certain ecosystems. At the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, the scientists have monitored ten 30-square meter plots of meadowland since 1989. Above five of those plots, overhead infrared radiators have been on constantly since January 1991, while the other five were used as the controls for comparison. The study reports, The microclimatic effect of experimental...

Researchers find new evidence of warming
2015-02-09 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] A study of three remote lakes in Ecuador led by Queen's University researchers has revealed the vulnerability of tropical high mountain lakes to global climate change - the first study of its kind to show this. The data explains how the lakes are changing due to the water warming as the result of climate change. The results could have far-reaching consequences for Andean water resources as the lakes provide 60 per cent of the drinking water for Cuenca, the third largest ci…

Yale Environment 360: Rice is a thirsty crop. Yet for the past three years, Alberto Mejia has been trying to reduce the amount of water he uses for irrigation on his 1,100-acre farm near Ibague in the tropical, central range of the Colombian Andes. He now plants new kinds of rice that require less water. He floods his paddies with greater precision and has installed gauges that measure the moisture content of the soil. On a daily basis he can determine how much nitrogen the plants need, and he relies on more advanced...

Climate Change Predications Confirmed by Ancient Warming Event
2015-02-05 22:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Evidence of this previous warm period came from an analysis of ancient plankton fossils drilled from the ocean floor. By studying the relationship between CO2 levels and climate change during a warmer period in Earth's history, the scientists have been able to estimate how the climate will respond to rising CO2 levels - a parameter known as "climate sensitivity." The findings, published in the journal Nature, are in line with future predictions from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change...

Paris climate summit: missing global warming target 'would not be failure'
2015-02-04 17:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The European Union climate chief says talks at a major climate summit in Paris this year will not be a failure even if governments fail to keep warming below the dangerous 2C threshold. The comments, downgrading expectations for a strong outcome at Paris, suggest that the architects of a global climate deal are already resigned to the prospect that governments will fail to aim high enough when setting out their targets for cutting greenhouse gas emission in the coming months. 2C is an objective,...
