Human Nature May Seal the Planet's Warming Fate
2015-02-02 19:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Slow changes are the bane of humanity. The metaphor of a frog in a pot being warmed slowly seems quite apt for the way humanity is struggling with global warming. 2014 is now the warmest year in the instrumental record. Even as the global warming hiatus continues and its causes continue to be debated -- record temperature years have occurred during the hiatus, even though globally averaged surface temperatures have shown little change -- the pause is not really a benign blessing to continue with...

Global Warming Trend to Continue After 2014 Marked Hottest Year Record
2015-02-02 13:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sputnik: Last year, the hottest since records began, has kept the heat on growing concerns over climate change, and scientists now predict that global temperatures will continue to rise, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said in a statement Monday. "We expect global warming to continue, given that rising levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the increasing heat content of the oceans are committing us to a warmer future,' WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud, was quoted as saying in...

USGS report shows how global warming will shift Pacific wind and wave patterns
2015-01-31 20:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: Scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey have developed climate models that help show how global warming will change wind and wave patterns, potentially affecting island communities, especially as sea level rises. The new USGS report looked at U.S. and U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands, including Hawaii, where climate change is expected to alter the highest waves and strongest winds. The detailed data should help communities develop coastal resilience plans and ecosystem restoration efforts, and...

Senators Vote in Circles about Global Warming and Keystone XL Pipeline
2015-01-30 20:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: The U.S. Senate voted 62 to 36 yesterday to build the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline that would bring oil from tar sands in Canada down through the U.S. Tar sands are one of the dirtiest forms of oil and expansion of their use would ensure too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, helping climate change wreak even more havoc. Yet this prospect is exactly what many of the same Senators who approved the pipeline voted to avoid, philosophically at least, just last week. How can that be? And who...
