How the US exports global warming

Rolling Stone: The greening of American energy is both real and profound. Since President Obama took office, the nation's solar capacity has increased more than tenfold. Wind power has more than doubled, to 60,000 megawatts -- enough to power nearly 20 million homes. Thanks to aggressive new fuel-efficiency standards, the nation's drivers are burning nearly 5 billion fewer gallons of gasoline a year than in 2008. The boom in cheap natural gas, meanwhile, has disrupted the coal industry. Coal-power generation, though...
Tropical Tropopause Layer: Nature Selectively Buffer Human-Caused Global Warming

Science 2.0: Don't count nature out yet. Some aspects of climate change are natural. And some mitigation will be also, according to researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Johns Hopkins University in the US and NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center. As the globe warms, ocean temperatures rise, leading to increased water vapor escaping into the atmosphere. Water vapor is really the most important greenhouse gas and its impact on climate is amplified in the stratosphere. In their study, the researchers...

Nature Dampens Human-Caused Global Warming, Scientists Report
2014-02-03 21:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Some natural processes caused by global warming are softening the full effects of climate change, scientists report. Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, John Hopkins University and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center found evidence of a negative feedback loop for global warming in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Rising ocean temperatures have led to increased evaporation into the atmosphere. Water's high heat capacity makes water vapor one of the most influential greenhouse gases,...

Nature can, selectively, buffer human-caused global warming, say scientists

ScienceDaily: Can naturally occurring processes selectively buffer the full brunt of global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human activities? Yes, find researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Johns Hopkins University in the US and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. As the globe warms, ocean temperatures rise, leading to increased water vapor escaping into the atmosphere. Water vapor is the most important greenhouse gas, and its impact on climate is amplified in the...

Planet warming despite cold snap
2014-02-02 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Citizen Times: Its been unusually cold outside, so, of course, global warming isnt real. Thats the gist of more than a few Facebook posts and letters to the editor Ive seen lately. I probably should choose to drive on past this car wreck of illogical scientific scoffers, but I cant help myself. Folks, global warming, also often called global climate change, is just what that first key word suggests: global. And yes, its very real, even though its been cold outside. And it has been freezing. Ive...
