Russia Considers Domestic Carbon Market in Global Warming Fight
2014-03-12 18:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Russia is considering a domestic carbon market to cut greenhouse-gas emissions and may start providing poorer nations with cash to cope with global warming, according to the countrys climate negotiator. We would like to elaborate our domestic market and eventually make it link into other markets, Oleg Shamanov said in an interview today in Bonn, where United Nations-led climate talks are being held this week. Russia may channel some money to the UNs Green Climate Fund, set up to help finance...

United Kingdom: Can our trees be saved from big timber, rampant disease and global warming?

Independent: We have finally finished tidying up all the trees and branches thrown down by the furious winter winds in Court Wood. It's an 11-acre, mixed broad-leaf woodland near my home in the Black Mountains, south Wales. As part of a not-for-profit, community woodland group, I started managing the wood a few months ago. Before our small team of volunteers arrived with billhooks and chainsaws, Court Wood hadn't been touched for 60 years. Like thousands of similarly anonymous British woodlands, it had silently...

Eastern chickadee populations moving fast in response to global warming
2014-03-08 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: Watching climate change is a little more subtle than just sitting around watching a thermometer, but sometimes even scientists are surprised at just how fast things are changing. A group of East Coast university researchers probably felt that way as they studied the breeding areas of Carolina and black-capped chickadees. Along a narrow zone in the eastern U.S., the two species interbreed, and that overlap zone is moving northward at 0.7 miles per year -- a full-on sprint by geological time standards....

Global warming: Who pressed the pause button?
2014-03-08 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Economist: BETWEEN 1998 and 2013, the Earths surface temperature rose at a rate of 0.04°C a decade, far slower than the 0.18°C increase in the 1990s. Meanwhile, emissions of carbon dioxide (which would be expected to push temperatures up) rose uninterruptedly. This pause in warming has raised doubts in the public mind about climate change. A few sceptics say flatly that global warming has stopped. Others argue that scientists understanding of the climate is so flawed that their judgments about it cannot be...

Global warming is a misleading term because it actually sounds quite nice

Guardian: What does the phrase anthropogenic forcing mean to you? Or a carbon bubble would you be more likely to find one in your bath or in your pension fund? Is the greenhouse effect a better way to grow tomatoes? And what is the difference between global warming and climate change? Understanding the language of climate science can feel like sitting an exam in an unfamiliar subject. For most scientific debates, the collision between the abstruse nature of expert discourse and our ordinary lives a...
