McKibben: Holding Fossil Fuel Stock = Betting on Global Warming
2014-04-09 00:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Environmental activist Bill McKibben is asking people, institutions and governments to divest holdings of fossil fuel companies in a bid to avert the worst impacts of climate change. If companies and governments produce and burn all their reserves of coal and oil, temperatures will surpass a level many scientists say will trigger catastrophic climate change, McKibben said today in at the Bloomberg New Energy Finance conference in New York. Starving fossil fuel producers of capital, he said, is...

Slowdown of global warming fleeting
2014-04-08 12:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
TGDaily: The recent slowdown in the warming rate of the Northern Hemisphere may be a result of internal variability of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation -- a natural phenomenon related to sea surface temperatures, according to Penn State researchers. "Some researchers have in the past attributed a portion of Northern Hemispheric warming to a warm phase of the AMO," said Michael E. Mann, Distinguished Professor of Meteorology. "The true AMO signal, instead, appears likely to have been in a cooling phase...

Permafrost thawing could accelerate global warming
2014-04-08 11:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A team of researchers lead by Florida State University have found new evidence that permafrost thawing is releasing large quantities of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere via plants, which could accelerate warming trends. The research is featured in the newest edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "We've known for a while now that permafrost is thawing," said Suzanne Hodgkins, the lead author on the paper and a doctoral student in chemical oceanography at Florida...

Global Warming Reduces the Quality of Food Crops
2014-04-08 09:39:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Softpedia: Wheat sustains around a quarter of the world's population Scientists at the University of California in Davis (UCD) have determined in a new study that the quality of food crops will continuously decline as global warming intensifies. The more time passes before climate change is addressed, the poorer our foods will get. This is the first time these conclusions were verified in a field test, investigators say. This effect largely occurs because elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere...

Ocean Temperature Analysis Suggests Recent Slowdown in Warming is Fleeting
2014-04-07 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Climate researchers taking a new perspective on the available data suggest the recent "slowdown" in the warming rate of the Northern Hemisphere is likely a fleeting reality. Writing in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, a team of researchers from Penn State University report that internal variability of a natural temperature phenomenon known as the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO) may be the cause for the apparent slowdown of warming in the Northern Hemisphere. "Some researchers...
