Global warming poses threat to Southwest water supply
2014-06-15 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Desert Sun: The biggest reservoir in the United States is dropping 1 foot each week. Lake Mead's rapidly sinking water level is set to reach an all-time low in July, driven down by a 14-year drought that scientists say is one of the most severe to hit the Colorado River in more than 1,200 years. The water behind Hoover Dam supplies vast areas of farmland and about 25 million people in three states, and this critical reservoir stands just 40 percent full. Droughts and even decades-long mega-droughts have...

Arctic warming linked to fewer European and US cold weather extremes, study shows
2014-06-15 12:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Climate change is unlikely to lead to more days of extreme cold, similar to those that gripped the USA in a deep freeze last winter, new research has shown. The Arctic amplification phenomenon refers to the faster rate of warming in the Arctic compared to places further south. It is this phenomenon that has been linked to a spike in the number of severe cold spells experienced in recent years over Europe and North America. However, new research by University of Exeter expert Dr James Screen has...

'Pause' in Global Warming Blamed on Lousy Data
2014-06-14 00:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: A widely reported "pause" in global warming may be an artefact of scientists looking at the wrong data, says a climate scientist at the European Space Agency. Global average sea surface temperatures rose rapidly from the 1970s but have been relatively flat for the past 15 years. This has prompted speculation from some quarters that global warming has stalled. Now, Stephen Briggs from the European Space Agency's Directorate of Earth Observation says that sea surface temperature data is the worst...

Oil and Coal Must Be Phased Out Entirely by 2050 to Stop Catastrophic Warming
2014-06-13 20:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Motherboard: If we really want to maintain a livable climate, and prevent global temperatures from rising more than 2° Celsius, then no nation, anywhere, can burn any oil, gas, or coal at all after 2050, according to a striking new analysis of the latest climate science. The world must start preparing for a rapid decarbonization of the energy and industry sectors within the next decade and get to zero emissions by 2050, Bill Hare, a climate scientist at Climate Analytics, told me in an interview from Bonn,...
Report shows global warming threats to Mediterranean
2014-06-13 20:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit County: Theres no reason to believe that any of the worlds oceans will be spared the effects of global warming and ocean acidification, including the Mediterranean Sea, where rapid changes threaten numerous species and entire ecosystems, according to a new report from a team of European researchers. We knew next to nothing about the combined effects of warming and acidification in the Mediterranean until this study, now we know that they are a serious double threat to our marine ecosystems, said project...
