2015-01-17 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Last year was the hottest on earth since record-keeping began in 1880, scientists reported on Friday, underscoring warnings about the risks of runaway greenhouse gas emissions and undermining claims by climate change contrarians that global warming had somehow stopped. Extreme heat blanketed Alaska and much of the western United States last year. Records were set across large areas of every inhabited continent. And the ocean surface was unusually warm virtually everywhere except near Antarctica,...

Global warming made 2014 a record hot year in animated graphics

Guardian: NASA and NOAA have just reported that global surface temperatures in 2014 were the hottest on record. That also means 2014 was likely the hottest the Earth has been in millennia, and perhaps as much as 100,000 years. But whats really remarkable is that 2014 set this record without the aid of an El Nio event. El Nio events create conditions in which sea surface and hence global surface temperatures are anomalously hot. We call this part of the Earths internal variability because these events...

Washington Post: Pew Research Center is out with a new survey and, for the first time in years, it actually bodes well for those hoping climate change will finally become a policy priority in the United States. The center asked a nationally representative pool of Americans which policy issues they believe should be a top priority for the Obama administration and newly appointed Congress this year. Only 38 percent of people said they thought global warming qualifies, which is almost low enough to make the issue the...

Four Reasons To Worry About Global Warming Beyond Scientific Consensus
2015-01-10 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Forbes: Yesterday I was struck by a Forbes headline, 97% Of Climate Scientists Agree Is 100% Wrong. The post questions the way Australian science popularizer John Cook arrived at this often-quoted number to illustrate the scientific consensus that human activity is contributing to global warming. I agree with one statement in the post, which is the premise that in science, logic and explanation trump scientific opinion. I would have said logic and evidence, but thats close enough. And yet, the piece...
