Want to cut Arctic warming in half? Curb emissions now, study says
2014-02-01 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: Global warming is changing the Arctic so quickly that experts say we should expect an ice-free Arctic Ocean in the summer within just a few decades. But a group of scientists says there is a way to spare the Arctic from more disastrous climate change. In a new paper, they say that reducing global carbon emissions now could cut Arctic warming nearly in half by century's end. Society already has released enough carbon dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere that over the next few decades temperatures...
Global warming: Northern Ireland's call to action revealed

Belfast Telegraph: Northern Ireland could face a stark future of floods, water shortages and power cuts as climate change tightens its grip. The warning comes in a new blueprint for how the province must adapt to meet the impact of climate change the region's first Climate Change Adaptation Programme. More than 60,000 properties across Northern Ireland already lie within areas at risk of flooding, meaning one in 18 properties is at risk if an extreme event does occur. By the 2050s mean winter and summer...

Summit Voice: While drought conditions have eased across parts of the U.S. in recent months, conditions have worsened in the far West, and particularly in California, where water shortages will have consequences spreading far beyond the state`s borders. And the western drought has global warming fingerprints all over, according to four researchers who discussed the links between climate change and drought at a teleconference organized by Climate Nexus, a communications group focused on highlighting the wide-ranging...

NASA Animation Shows Relentless Pace of 60 Years of Global Warming in 15 Seconds
2014-01-30 21:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: 15-second NASA time-lapse video shows the steady and rapid warming of the planet since the middle of the twentieth century, with regions in the Arctic and Siberia warming as much as two to four degrees Celsius (3.6 to 7. 2 degrees Fahrenheit) above a long-term average: The animation begins in 1950, but the intensity of the yellow, orange and red colors shows how much temperatures have increased compared to baseline temperature data collected from 1880 to the present. NASA said that nine of...

Does Polar Vortex Mean So Much For Global Warming?
2014-01-30 14:39:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Over the past couple of months, the U.S. has seen the return of something many believed had been lost for good: cold weather. Although the current temperatures in the eastern U.S. may seem unusually cold, in the context of our history they really arent. In fact, most of the cold that has made the news lately hasnt been all that chilly compared what was normal for the 20th century. The AP explained our short-term memory loss in this article, Scientists: Americans are becoming weather wimps,...
