'Unprecedented' flooding event in Detroit fits global warming pattern
2014-08-13 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: Detroit received 4.57 inches of rain in just a few hours on Monday, breaking its record for that date and coming in second place for the all-time wettest calendar day, behind a 4.74 inch deluge in July of 1925. The heavy rain -- which included more than an inch of rain falling in just 24 minutes -- led to some of the most widespread flash flooding on record in the Motor City. Every major interstate was affected by the flooding, which longtime weather forecasters in the area called an unprecedented...

Global Warming Will Make Toxic Algae Blooms Worse
2014-08-11 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Columbus Dispatch: Scientists say climate change is exacerbating toxic-algae problems in Lake Erie and across the country. They say more-intense storms are dumping heavy rains onto farm fields, causing more fertilizer runoff than in the past, and that lake-water temperatures are rising, making a perfect home for the toxic blue-green algae that plague Lake Erie every summer and caused Toledos recent drinking-water woes. When you have a gentle rain, where you get maybe an inch ... over a 24-hour period, you dont...

Study: Pipeline Would Result In More Global Warming Pollution
2014-08-10 21:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: A new study published Sunday by the journal Nature Climate Change concludes the much-debated Keystone XL pipeline could produce four times more global warming pollution than the State Department calculated this year. The proposed pipeline would carry oil from tar sands in western Canada to Texas, passing through western Nebraska. Researchers estimate it would increase world carbon by as much as 121 million tons a year compared with the department's estimate of 30 million tons. Study lead author...

Atlantic Ocean warming linked to Pacific trade winds
2014-08-10 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: New research has found rapid warming of the Atlantic Ocean, likely caused by global warming, has turbocharged Pacific Equatorial trade winds. Currently the winds are at a level never before seen on observed records, which extend back to the 1860s. The increase in these winds has caused eastern tropical Pacific cooling, amplified the Californian drought, accelerated sea level rise three times faster than the global average in the Western Pacific and has slowed the rise of global average surface...

Global warming could be to blame for mysterious Siberian crater
2014-08-09 12:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: After a 30 metre mystery crater was discovered in July by a helicopter pilot, many in the scientific community have been confused by its appearance. There have been suggestions of a missile explosion, meteorite and of course alien claims. However, Russian scientists have now said the most likely cause is linked to abnormally hot summers. The large crater was found in the Yamal peninsula in Siberia and researchers suggest it was caused by methane being released from thawing permafrost. Andrei...
