MIT Scientists Explain How Global Warming is 'Temporarily' Cooling Antarctica
2014-08-25 16:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers explain why global warming has led to Arctic losing sea ice, but the same has not been observed in Antarctica. Over the past few years, Arctic has shown considerable reduction in sea ice levels due to global warming. However, Antarctica has cooled and has even gained some ice recently. A new study suggests that ocean circulation can explain why the polar regions have different reactions towards rise in earth's temperature. John Marshall, the...

Unpacking unpaused global warming climate models got it right

Guardian: Although the global climate has continued to build up heat at an incredibly rapid rate, there has been a keen focus among climate contrarians and in the media on the slowdown of the warming at the Earths surface. The slowdown is in fact a double cherry pick it focuses only on the 2% of global warming that heats the atmosphere (over 90% heats the oceans), and it only considers the past 1015 years. Nevertheless, because there was so much attention paid to the surface warming slowdown, the latest...
Environmentalists must stop ignoring needs poor nations when combat global warming

New Statesman: Our global environment has many problems. If the high volume of carbon emission is one, the low level of intellectual engagement with some of the major environmental challenges is surely another. There are, of course, many engaging and well-researched studies of particular environmental problems such as global warming, and we have good reason to be appreciative of that. And yet some of the foundational issues have remained unresolved - indeed, unaddressed. I would like to comment on two quite...

Depths of Atlantic May Hold Key to Global Warming Hiatus
2014-08-24 16:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The key to the slowdown in global warming in recent years could lie in the depths of the Atlantic and Southern oceans where excess heat is being stored -- not the Pacific Ocean as has previously been suggested, according to new research. The Atlantic Ocean may hold the key to the warming hiatus, says a new study, and not the Pacific as previously thought. But the finding suggests that a naturally occurring ocean cycle burying the heat will flip in around 15 years' time, causing global temperature...
World's last wild Siberian tigers threatened by iIllegal logging, global warming, disease

Mongabay: This is the second part of series examining the impact of forest loss on Siberian tigers. Part I discussed overall forest loss in the region and its major drivers. The very fact that there are Siberian tigers in the world today is something of a miracle. In the 1940s, just 20 animals remained in the wild. Indiscriminate hunting and poaching had nearly wiped out the worlds largest cat. Creation of the 4,000-square kilometer (1,544-square mile) Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Reserve and careful conservation...
