Around the world: Atlantic warming melts Antarctic ice
2014-01-22 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Though physically about as distant from Antarctica as you can get, water masses in the North and Tropical Atlantic Ocean significantly influence the effects of climate change on the icy southernmost continent, new research suggests. Antarctic climate has changed considerably over the past several decades, with the Antarctic Peninsula -- located on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet -- experiencing more warming than any other region on Earth. Researchers have long recognized that atmospheric and oceanographic...

Latest Data Shows Global Climate Continues Warming Trend
2014-01-21 23:39:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Universe Today: The latest statistics are in from 2013 and both NASAs and NOAAs measurements of global temperatures show Earth continued to experience temperatures warmer than those measured several decades ago. NASA scientists say 2013 tied with 2009 and 2006 for the seventh warmest year since 1880, continuing a long-term trend of rising global temperatures, while NOAA which uses a different method of analyzing temperature data said that 2013 tied with 2003 as 4th-warmest year globally since 1880. "The...

Global Warming to Accelerate Strong El Nino Events in the Future
2014-01-20 11:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Be prepared for extreme weather in the future, scientists say. According to a latest study, strong El Nio events will double in the next few decades due to global warming. These events occurred once every 20 years, but will occur once every ten years or so in the future. The study was conducted by researchers at ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science (CoECSS), the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and CSIRO. El Nino is characterized by warm temperatures in...

Unchecked global warming 'will double El Nio weather events'
2014-01-19 19:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The world's most devastating global weather phenomenon the weather events associated with "El Nio" will double in frequency to once a decade if global warming remains unchecked, according to what scientists believe is a major step forward in the understanding of such events. The last extreme El Nio, in 1997-98, resulted in the hottest year on record, and the accompanying floods, cyclones, droughts and wildfires killed an estimated 23,000 people and caused 21bn-28bn in damage, particularly...

Next 15 years vital for taming warming: UN panel
2014-01-18 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: The next 15 years will be vital in determining whether global warming can be limited to 2C (3.6F) by 2100, with energy and transport presenting the heftiest challenges, according to a draft UN report. "Delaying mitigation through 2030 will increase the challenges.... and reduce the options," warns a summary of the report seen by AFP. The draft is the third volume in a long-awaited trilogy by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a Nobel-winning group of scientists. Major efforts...
