Secret deal tackle emissions ushers in a new era in fight against global warming
2014-11-12 21:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: The battle to save the world from the ravages of climate change was given an unprecedented boost today as the US and China joined forces to announce secretly negotiated and radical actions to combat global warming. The move will see both countries which between them emit 44 per cent of the worlds CO2 make unprecedented commitments to cut their carbon emissions. It was hailed by climate experts as the start of a new era of ambitious emissions targets because it should encourage other countries,...
Study: Global warming worsening watery dead zones

Associated Press: Global warming is likely playing a bigger role than previously thought in dead zones in oceans, lakes and rivers around the world and it's only going to get worse, according to a new study. Dead zones occur when fertilizer runoff clogs waterways with nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorous. That leads to an explosion of microbes that consumes oxygen and leaves the water depleted of oxygen, harming marine life. Scientists have long known that warmer water increases this problem, but a new...

Capping warming at 2 C not enough to avert disaster, experts warn
2014-11-09 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Al Jazeera: Scientists, environmentalists and world leaders alike have generally agreed that capping Earths temperature rise at 2 degrees Celsius would prevent the worst effects of climate change -- a cut-off touted again in the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). But many experts in the field, including former IPCC leaders, have said that even if global warming is kept to that limit, such a rise could nevertheless devastate the environment and endanger humanity -- the...

World losing battle against global warming
2014-11-08 11:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
USA Today: In the battle to combat global warming, the world isn't moving fast enough to stay in the fight. The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - which releases a new report every few years - again gave grim news last week as emissions rose 2.3% to a record in 2013, marking the largest year-to-year change in three decades. "We're about at a 3" on a scale of 0 to 10 in reducing emissions that cause global warming, said Michael Oppenheimer, a Princeton University geoscientist...

New Mechanism Behind Arctic Warming Revealed
2014-11-06 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: We all know that greenhouse gases contribute to global warming, but new research identifies a new mechanism that could turn out to be a major contributor to melting sea ice, specifically in the Arctic region. Scientists from the US Department of Energys Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have studied a long-wavelength region of the electromagnetic spectrum called far infrared. Far infrared is a region in the infrared spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. While it is invisible...
