Persistent Warming Drives Big Arctic Changes
2014-12-17 23:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: Not every year can be a record setter in the Arctic. But records are only one small piece of a larger puzzle that shows persistent change in the Arctic. And that change hasn't slowed according to this year's Arctic Report Card released at the American Geophysical Union's Fall Meeting on Wednesday. Long-term trends in rising temperatures, spiraling sea ice loss, and ecosystem shifts paint a picture of a region in transition due to climate change that is transpiring at a much faster rate than the...

Earth's Future? Ancient Warming Gives Ominous Peek Climate Change
2014-12-15 20:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
NBC: New data from the Earth's last big warmup, some 56 million years ago, may offer a sneak peek into what today's climate change may eventually look like. Scientists have determined that the rate at which carbon emissions heated up the planet during the late Paleocene is much more similar to modern human-caused warming than many experts previously thought, a new report published Monday in Nature Geoscience shows. The good news, the researchers say, is that most of the species around at the time...

Yale Study Finds Americans Ignorant Health Impacts From Global Warming

EcoWatch: When the average American thinks about how climate change-caused global warming could affect their health, what do they think of? Not much, apparently, according to a new study, Public Perceptions of the Health Impacts of Global Warming, just released by the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication and the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication. The study is based on the results of a survey, Climate Change in the American Mind. The researchers found that Americans largely...

Warming climate puts wetlands more at risk to invasive species

Environmental News Network: In the battle between native and invasive wetland plants, a new Duke University study finds climate change may tip the scales in favor of the invaders -- but it's going to be more a war of attrition than a frontal assault. "Changing surface-water temperatures, rainfall patterns and river flows will likely give Japanese knotweed, hydrilla, honeysuckle, privet and other noxious invasive species an edge over less adaptable native species," said Neal E. Flanagan, visiting assistant professor at the...

Fact or fiction? Geoengineering can solve global warming
2014-12-13 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: A global deal to combat climate change lurches toward reality in Lima, Peru, this week--and yet any politically feasible agreement will be insufficient to restrain continued warming of global average temperatures, perhaps uncomfortably high. Although recent pledges by China, the 28 countries of the European Union and the U.S. are the first signs of the possibility of restraining the endless growth of greenhouse gas pollution on a long-term basis, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide have...
