Greens debate impacts of LNG exports on global warming
2014-03-28 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Greenwire: Environmentalists wary of plans to open the gates for U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) might be missing an opportunity to advance their primary goal, fighting global warming. So say some advocates for climate change action who see the wider distribution of natural gas leading to reduced emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases as coal-burning power plants are switched to gas. Paul Bledsoe, a fellow with the German Marshall Fund and a former Clinton White House aide, is among those...

Methane Emissions Increase with Global Warming
2014-03-27 22:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: The amount of methane released from microorganisms dwelling in lakes and freshwater beds will increase severalfold for each degree Celsius the Earth's temperature rises, according to a new study. While much attention is given to climate change-linked rises in carbon dioxide, methane is roughtly 30 times more potent as a heat-trapping gas, and as temperatures rise, methane output from freshwater sources - the primary methane emissions source - will will outpace carbon dioxide output. In freshwater...

Invasive Weeds Threaten Ireland's Waterways as Warming Temperatures Set Stage for More Growth
2014-03-26 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Rising global temperatures threaten to cause a resurgence of invasive water weeds that will threaten biodiversity and hamper tourism in Europe, according to a new study. Queen's University Belfast researchers report that a number of invasive weeds which have previously been killed off due to lower winter temperatures will thrive as global temperature increases. Writing in the journal Diversity and Distributions, the researchers predict that over the next 70 years these invasive water weeds...
No Hiatus in Global Warming UN

International Business Times: No reverse in the Earth's global warming conditions is expected as this scenario will continue for centuries, according to the UN World Meteorological Organisation (WMO). A proof is the rising levels of ocean temperatures and the extreme weather events, Michel Jarraud, UN weather agency chief, said early this week. "There is no standstill in global warming," Jarraud added. "The warming of our oceans has accelerated, and at lower depths. More than 90 per cent of the excess energy trapped...

Global Warming Not Slowing Down, 2013 was Sixth Hottest on Record
2014-03-24 20:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Global temperatures in 2013 were the sixth warmest on record, the World Meteorological Organization reported Monday in its annual climate statement. The year was marked by a multitude of climate events and instances of extreme weather, including Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) in the Philippines, one of the strongest storms ever to make landfall, extreme heatwaves in the Southern Hemisphere, drought in Africa and southern China and record high sea levels. The temperature record for last year ties 2007...
