Global warming 'hiatus': Scientists duel over which ocean steals some heat
2014-08-21 20:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: The deeper researchers dig into the dramatic slowdown in global warming during the past 15 years, the more their findings point to natural climate variability as the cause rather than any purported end to human-triggered climate change. The latest example of this conclusion comes from a pair of scientists from the United States and China trying to identify where the expected heat has been hiding. They attribute the slowdown in warming, as others do, to heat taken up by the world's oceans,...

Don't be fooled by pause in global warming caused by 30 year cycle in ocean currents warn scientists

Daily Kos: An apparent slowdown in global warming caused by a 30 year ocean cycle could lull people into a misperception that global warming has paused when it has not, reports Math McGrath of the BBC. During his phase of the cycle heat is being pulled deep into the Atlantic Ocean. This phase could last another 10 years which, if this theory is true will be followed by another 30 year period where stored up heat is disgorged back into the atmosphere adding together with the longer term global warming causing...
Global Warming increasing moisture Earth's atmosphere driving Mother of all Feedback Loops

Daily Kos: We have long suspected that greenhouse gases which cause the Earth to warm would lead to a wetter atmosphere. The latest research published by Eul-Seok Chung, Brian Soden, and colleagues provides new insight into what was thought to be an old problem. In doing so, they experimentally verified what climate models have been predicting. The models got it right again. The authors show that the long-term increase in water vapor in the upper troposphere cannot have resulted from natural causes it...

Melting glaciers are caused by man-made global warming, study shows
2014-08-14 20:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: The dramatic melting of the worlds mountain glaciers from the Alps to the Himalayas is mostly the result of man-made global warming rather than natural variability in the climate, a study has found. Scientists have laid to rest the idea that glaciers as far apart as Patagonia and Indonesia are melting primarily because of natural changes to the climate caused by such things as solar variability and volcanic eruptions. An assessment of about 200,000 glaciers in the world, some of which...

Man-made warming becomes main cause of glacier retreat, study says
2014-08-14 20:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Man-made greenhouse gas emissions have become the dominant cause of melting in glaciers from the Alps to the Andes that is raising world sea levels, a study said on Thursday. Human emissions accounted for an estimated 69 percent of loss of ice from glaciers from 1991-2010, overtaking natural climate variations that had been the main driver of a retreat since the mid-19th century, researchers wrote in the journal Science. Until now, scientists have struggled to quantify the impact of human behavior...
