Global warming slowdown 'doesn't invalidate' climate change'

Guardian: The slowdown in rising global surface temperatures is not a sign that climate change is no longer happening, the national science academies of the US and the UK have said. Publishing a guide on the state of climate change science, the National Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society said the short-term slowdown this century did not "invalidate" the long-term trend of rising temperatures caused by man-made climate change. "Despite the decadal slowdown in the rise of average surface temperature,...

South America glacier decline linked with global warming

Summit Voice: Geologists are getting better at unraveling the mysteries of historic glacial episodes, as technology helps understand how the ice sheets respond to climate change. One recent research project led by scientists from Dartmouth University suggests that temperature is the driving factor in shaping the size of Peru`s Quelccaya Ice Cap. The 17-square mile glacier in the Andes has been shrinking dramatically in the past few decades, making it a global warming symbol. The findings support the idea...

Study questions whether global warming hiatus is for real

CBC: The number of extremely hot days has been increasing steadily globally despite a "pause" in the rise of average surface temperatures over the past 15 years, a new study has found. "This analysis shows that not only is there no pause in the evolution of the warmest daily extremes over land but that they have continued unabated over the observational record," said the paper published Wednesday in Nature Climate Change. "Furthermore, the available evidence suggests that the most 'extreme' extremes...

Heat extremes increase despite global warming hiatus: scientists
2014-02-26 09:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Hot weather extremes have increased around the world in the past 15 years despite a slowdown in the overall pace of global warming, a study showed on Wednesday. Heat extremes are among the damaging impacts of climate change as they can raise death rates, especially among the elderly, damage food crops and strain everything from water to energy supplies. "Observational data show a continued increase of hot extremes over land during the so-called global warming hiatus," scientists in Switzerland,...

Volcanic Eruptions Help Slow Down Global Warming - Scientists

International Business Times: While scientists claimed temperatures have risen since the start of the century, they were far below compared to the rise in man-made greenhouse gases. Earlier, scientists surmised the particles released to the air during volcanic eruptions would trigger temperatures worldwide to further escalate from 1998. But they noted the reverse occured. "This is a complex detective story," Benjamin Santer, lead author of the study, "Volcanic Contribution to Decadal Changes in Tropospheric Temperature"...
