Steuben Courier Advocate: Summer may not officially end until Sept. 22, but for most of us, the passage of Labor Day heralds the end of the season. As someone whose love of bright sunshine and warm temperatures verges on addiction, its always a day I dread. But this year, I know Im not the only one who feels cheated by the all-too-brief respite from Mother Natures increasingly cold, capricious clutches. Much of the nation experienced one of the coolest, wettest summers on record save for parts of the West,...

It is 99.999 percent likely global warming is caused by humans: CSIRO
2014-09-05 11:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
9News: A CSIRO report has declared the chances of global warming being the result of human industry as 99.999 percent likely. The paper published yesterday in the Climate Risk Management journal noted December 2013 was the 346th consecutive month where global land and ocean temperatures exceeded the monthly average of the 20th century. In other words, not since February 1985 have global conditions been below the average mark. The likelihood of such an occurrence without human contribution is less than...

Warming ocean temperatures may not bring rain to parched California
2014-09-05 02:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The Pacific Ocean phenomenon called El Nino, which can lead to storms in the U.S. Southwest and other places, will likely start soon, but may not bring hoped-for relief to drought-parched California, U.S. government meteorologists said on Thursday. Scientists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said in a report the likelihood was increasing that El Nino, characterized by a warming of the ocean temperature in the eastern Pacific near the equator, would be weak this year. A...

Study links humans to warming trend in Pacific Northwest
2014-09-04 22:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
KATU: Humans are the link to a warming world, according to researchers at Oregon State University and University of Idaho. Philip Mote, director of OSU's Oregon Climate Services, worked with two other scientists to publish the study that links global warming directly to humans. "We put stuff in the atmosphere, green house gasses and also pollutants that reflect sunlight and form clouds, and that increase in heat-trapping gasses, is the only thing that can explain the large warming trend since 1950,'...

New study finds 99.999% certainty humans causing global warming
2014-09-04 08:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Conversation: Our new CSIRO work provides an objective assessment linking global temperature increases to human activity, which points to a close to certain probability exceeding 99.999%. Our work extends existing approaches undertaken internationally to detect climate change and attribute it to human or natural causes. The 2013 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fifth Assessment Report provided an expert consensus that: It is extremely likely [defined as 95-100% certainty] that more than half of...
