Mongabay: A mass of thousands of walruses were spotted hauled up on land in northwest Alaska during NOAA aerial surveys earlier this week. An estimated 35,000 occupied a single beach a record number illustrating a trend in an unnatural behavior scientists say is due to global warming. Walruses (Odobenus rosmarus)iconic arctic mammals that are only distantly related to sealstraditionally use sea ice to rest, breed, and give birth, and as a vantage from which to spot mollusks and other food sources. However,...
Is 2 Degrees the Right Limit for Global Warming? Some Scientists Say No
2014-10-01 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: For more than a decade international climate-policy discussions have revolved around a seemingly simple goal: Limit the rise in average global surface temperature to two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit). But a new paper argues that the two-degree target is not only increasingly unrealistic but also misleading. "More and more, it's a combination of fantasy and irrelevance," says David Victor, a professor of international relations at the University of California, San Diego, and the co-author...
Ditch U.N. temperature target for global warming, study says

Reuters: A temperature goal set by almost 200 governments as the limit for global warming is a poor guide to the planet's health and should be ditched, a study published in the journal Nature said on Wednesday. The world's environment ministers agreed in 2010 to cap a rise in average surface temperatures at 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times as the yardstick to avoid more floods, heat waves, droughts and rising sea levels. "Politically and scientifically, the 2 degree C goal is...

Expert: Arctic Region to Remain Stable, Despite Global Warming
2014-09-26 19:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ria Novosti: The climate shifts in the Arctic, caused by global warming, will be gradual and will not lead to any drastic changes in the region, Alexander Danilov, Deputy Director for Research at the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute, said at a press conference hosted by RIA Novosti Friday. "The Arctic will remain a cold pole, as it always has. This will not change," Danilov said. "The [global] warming continues, and the Arctic, and Russia in general, especially its Arctic regions, is an area where...
