Northern Gateway Pipeline Approved Ignoring Democracy & Global Warming
2014-06-18 00:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: There was little doubt the federal government would approve the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project, regardless of public opposition or evidence presented against it. The prime minister indicated he wanted the pipeline built before the Joint Review Panel hearings even began. Ad campaigns, opponents demonized as foreign-funded radicals, gutted environmental laws and new pipeline and tanker regulations designed in part to mollify the B.C. government made the federal position even more clear....

Penguin populations may have benefited from historic climate warming
2014-06-17 14:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: While penguins have adapted to extremely cold weather, harsh winters are still difficult for populations especially when it comes to breeding and finding food. So with warming climates on the horizon, are penguin populations going to be better off? Not necessarily. However, a new study does reveal that penguin populations over the last 30,000 years have benefitted in some ways from climate warming and retreating ice. An international team, led by scientists from the University of Southampton and...

Minimum CO2 price of $32 needed to curb warming, study shows
2014-06-16 16:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: A global carbon price of at least $32 (24 euros) per tonne is needed by 2015 to apply an effective brake on global warming -- almost five times today's European market rate, a study said Monday. Co-authored by British economist Nicholas Stern, an authority on the costs of climate change, the report reviewed a widely-used model for assessing risk and found it led to a "gross underassessment" of danger. This beefs up the case for strong cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, helped by a carbon price "in...

Models 'grossly underestimate' costs of global warming, Nicholas Stern says
2014-06-16 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: Nicholas Stern says climate change costs aren't properly captured by models. Existing economic models "grossly underestimate" the costs of global warming, undermining the urgency for deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new paper by leading UK climate change economist Lord Nicholas Stern. The risks are in fact likely to be so large that a globally coordinated carbon price of $US32-$US103 ($34-$110) per tonne of emissions is needed as soon as 2015 to prevent the temperature...

Arctic warming taking the edge off extreme winters, Study
2014-06-16 05:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Canada Jurnal: Cold winter temperatures have become less extreme through large swathes of Europe and North America as global warming has taken hold, according to new research. The study, published in Nature Climate Change, says this trend is likely to continue. It means that punishing winters, like the deep freeze which struck the US in early 2014, could be less frequent in years to come. Dr Screen, a Mathematics Research Fellow at the University of Exeter, said: "Autumn and winter days are becoming warmer...
