Global warming may be to blame for tornado onslaughts
2014-08-08 16:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: Tornadoes are aping buses: you wait ages and then a bunch of them come along at once. The twisters are increasingly arriving in clusters, with some days spawning more than 30 across the US, according to an analysis of weather records. Global warming may be to blame. Climatologists have long suspected that a warmer world would influence tornadoes but the evidence has been scant. In particular, the number of tornadoes has held steady for decades. It's when they do hit that they seem increasingly...

Why a global-warming pact won't stop global warming
2014-08-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Journal: Don't expect too much from the global climate-change accord that's expected to emerge from high-stakes international talks in Paris next year. A new MIT study concludes that even if negotiators reach a deal at the United Nations conference, it probably won't be enough to limit global temperature increases to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. That's the level many scientists say would help stave off some of the most dangerous and disruptive effects of climate change. Here's the...

CO2 capture from air could ripen into a global warming solution, researcher predicts
2014-08-08 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: Technologies for capturing carbon dioxide directly from the ambient air will play a key role in reversing the buildup of greenhouse gases if the process can gain wider acceptance, according to a Columbia University scientist. "It's not a question of if air capture technology will be adopted; it's a question of when," said Klaus Lackner, director of the Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy at Columbia University's Earth Institute.

Deep Pollution Cuts Needed by 2050 to Limit Global Warming
2014-08-07 22:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions of 40 to 70 percent by mid-century will be needed to avert the worst of global warming that is already harming all continents, a draft U.N. report showed. The 26-page draft, obtained by Reuters on Thursday, sums up three U.N. scientific reports published over the past year as a guide for almost 200 governments which are due to agree a deal to combat climate change at a summit in Paris in late 2015. It says existing national pledges to restrict greenhouse...
