Global warming amplifying malaria risk
2014-03-07 07:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Global warming will expose millions more people to malaria as parasite-bearing mosquitoes move to higher altitudes, according to new research into the health perils from climate change. Tropical highland areas in Africa, Asia and central and southern America are particularly at risk, a study in the US journal Science said Thursday. Malaria, which killed an estimated 620,000 people in 2012, is among a host of diseases that researchers warn will spread more easily thanks to global warming. For...

Global warming: Study shows Arctic sea ice melt season lengthening five days per decade
2014-03-05 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: Averaged across the Arctic, the melt season is lengthening by five days each decade, with much of the change coming in the fall, when a warmer ocean simply takes longer to freeze than in the past. The extent of sea ice in the Arctic has been declining for the last four decades, said University College London researcher Julienne Stroeve, part of a research team that studied satellite data to track sea ice trends in the age of global warming. The data confirm that the Arctic Ocean absorbing...
Global Warming Felt to Deepest Reaches of Ocean
2014-03-03 03:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Newswise: In the mid-1970s, the first available satellite images of Antarctica during the polar winter revealed a huge ice-free region within the ice pack of the Weddell Sea. This ice-free region, or polynya, stayed open for three full winters before it closed. Subsequent research showed that the opening was maintained as relatively warm waters churned upward from kilometres below the oceans surface and released heat from the oceans deepest reaches. But the polynya -- which was the size of New Zealand --...

Hotter Extremes Belie Warming 'Pause'
2014-03-02 23:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Truthdig: If global warming has paused, nobody told the thermometer. Although global average temperature rises have not kept pace with greenhouse gas emissions in the last decade, the mercury has been higher than ever for longer than ever over increasingly larger areas of land, according to a new study in Nature Climate Change. Sonia Seneviratne from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and colleagues in Australia and Canada chose not to look at averages but at extremes of temperature. The...

Warming pause doesn't reverse scientific view on climate
2014-02-28 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: A pause in the pace of global warming does not invalidate research that links climate change to human activity, national science academies in the U.S. and U.K. said in a joint report. While the science in some areas of climate change continues to evolve, mans contribution to warming, sea-level increases and the decline in Arctic sea ice is more certain than ever, according to the report released today. The report by the top scientists in two countries is meant to answer common questions...
