Warming of Atlantic Ocean dramatically increased Pacific winds study

Blue and Green: The rapid warming of the worlds oceans, caused by climate change, is increasing record-breaking levels of Pacific Equatorial trade winds, new research has found. Scientists from University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the University of Hawaii have shed some light on the forces at work behind Pacific trade wind, which are currently at their highest level ever recorded. These high trade winds have a global impact. They have been blamed for intensifying the severe droughts in California and...

Altered soil may help fight global warming
2014-08-04 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Albuquerque Journal: A New Mexico State University scientist`s work in carbon sequestration at Leyendecker Plant Science Center is getting attention -- not just in New Mexico, but also in Austria and Australia. His work suggests a solution for dealing with carbon dioxide-related problems causing global warming. The nearly seven billion people on earth have a collective carbon footprint more than 30.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year, from energy usage alone. If reducing this footprint will return the planet...

Global warming stopped? Not in the real world
2014-08-04 08:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Green Left: Remember all those articles that claimed global warming has stopped? Heres proof that those were anti-scientific fantasies. On July 21, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced that last months average global temperature was 16.2°C, which is 0.7°C higher than the 20th-century average. Heat records were broken on every continent apart from Antarctica. The rises were especially notable in New Zealand, northern South America, Greenland, central Africa and southern Asia....

How Atlantic Warming Brings Pacific Devastation
2014-08-03 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Motherboard: Some very large part of Western civilization's development comes courtesy of the trade winds. It's these winds that form very large-scale patterns of surface air movement spanning entire hemispheres; a 15th century ship setting sail from Portugal toward the New World just had to latch on and cruise. Eventually, said vessel can be assured of delivery by these winds to the general vicinity of the Bahamas or further into the Caribbean Sea. The trade winds soon enough became the backbone of proto-globalization,...

Can ants save Earth from global warming?
2014-08-03 14:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Times of India: Ants may be cooling the Earth by helping trap carbon dioxide from the environment, a new study has claimed. A long-term experiment tracking the ants' effects on soil suggests they cooled Earth's climate as their numbers grew. "Ants are changing the environment," said lead study author Ronald Dorn, from the Arizona State University in Tempe. Certain ant species "weather" minerals in order to secrete calcium carbonate - better known as limestone. The process traps and removes a tiny bit of...
