Atlantic slows warming, temperature rises seen resuming from 2030: Study

Reuters: The Atlantic Ocean has masked global warming this century by soaking up vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere in a shift likely to reverse from around 2030 and spur fast temperature rises, scientists said. The theory is the latest explanation for a slowdown in the pace of warming at the Earth's surface since about 1998 that has puzzled experts because it conflicts with rising greenhouse gas emissions, especially from emerging economies led by China. "We're pointing to the Atlantic as the...

Why is global warming taking a break?
2014-08-22 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Daily Mail: A controversial pause in global warming may be due to heat vanishing into the depths of the Atlantic and Southern Oceans. But surface temperatures will start rising again in a decade, according to scientists in the US. The massive movement of heat is thought to explain why the rapid rate of climate change that marked the end of the 20th century has ground almost to a halt. A pause in global warming may be due to heat vanishing in the ocean. The top image shows global average surface temperatures,...

Global warming slowdown 'could last another decad.'
2014-08-22 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: The hiatus in the rise in global temperatures could last for another 10 years, according to new research. Scientists have struggled to explain the so-called pause that began in 1999, despite ever increasing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. The latest theory says that a naturally occurring 30-year cycle in the Atlantic Ocean is behind the slowdown. The researchers says this slow-moving current could continue to divert heat into the deep seas for another decade. However, they caution that...

Key to global warming slowdown held deep in Atlantic sea, says report

Blue and Green: The Atlantic and Southern oceans have been found to be storing excess heat in their depths, lowering global temperatures and confusing researchers who believed the Pacific Ocean was responsible for lowering temperatures. The findings, published earlier this week in the journal Science, have also discovered a varying planetary heat sink, which both slows down global warming and will cause it to accelerate in 15 years. Ka-Kit Tung, author of the paper and University of Washington professor,...
Scientists Propose Using Lasers to Fight Global Warming From Space

Motherboard: At the world's first major geoengineering conference, two separate scientists put forward proposals to use lasers to modify the Earth's climate and fight global warming, from space. One suggested that a satellite equipped with a high-powered laser could grow clouds in the atmosphere below; the other proposed lasers that would blast greenhouse gases from orbit to effectively erase the agents of climate change. The highly theoretical proposals are still in their early stages, and easily count...
