Antarctic sea ice expands to record levels: Should global warming be blamed? Yes and No
2014-10-09 22:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Tech Times: The melting of the world's ice is often blamed on global warming. The Antarctic sea ice, however, poses a conundrum because it has been expanding to record levels. On Sept. 20, the sea ice extent in the Antarctic has reached 7.78 million square miles breaking the record it has set in 2013 but while it may appear that this record discredits claims of global warming, scientists said that climate change still has something to do with the phenomenon. Researchers from the National Aeronautics and...
Why is Antarctic sea ice at record levels despite global warming?

Guardian: Antarctic ice floes extended further than ever recorded this southern winter, confounding the worlds most-trusted climate models. Its not expected, says Professor John Turner, a climate expert at the British Antarctic Survey. The worlds best 50 models were run and 95% of them have Antarctic sea ice decreasing over the past 30 years. The winter ice around the southern continent has been growing relatively constantly since records began in 1979. The US National Snow and Ice Data Centre...

Hotter Oceans Explain Global Warming 'Pause'
2014-10-09 11:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Truthdig: One of the most hotly-argued questions in climate research -- whether global warming has slowed or even stopped -- appears to have been definitively answered. And the scientists` conclusion is unambiguous: the Earth continues to warm at a dangerous pace. All that`s happening, they say, is that the extra heat being produced -- mainly by the burning of fossil fuels -- is concentrating not in the skies but in the seas. They have found new evidence that backs them up. Instead of driving up the...

How Reduce Global Warming for Fun and Profit
2014-10-07 22:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: It's easy to get depressed about climate change. We've made so little progress in reducing carbon-dioxide emissions that our previous goal - to limit the rise in global temperature to 2 degrees Celsius - is almost laughable. (See: "UN Climate Report Questions Global Willpower") But what if companies could make money from carbon dioxide, the heat-trapping gas that's the main contributor to global warming? We're not actually so far off from turning emissions into commodities, it turns out. In...

Deep Ocean Heat Storage Not Behind Global Warming Pause, Study Finds
2014-10-07 18:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: The deepest reaches of earth's oceans have not warmed significantly over the last decade, according to scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California a finding that undermines a leading theory as to why the pace of global warming has slowed over the last 15 years. Scientists have speculated that the recent slowdown in rising surface air temperatures was a result of the heat accumulating in the deep ocean. But in a paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change, the NASA researchers...
