Climate News Network: Australian and French scientists believe they have cracked one of the great puzzles of climate change and arrived at a more accurate prediction of future temperatures. One of the great unknowns of climate science is what effect clouds have in accelerating or slowing warming. A new study sheds light on their possible impact. The news is not good, according to Steven Sherwood of Australia's Centre for Excellence for Climate System Science at the University of New South Wales. If carbon emissions...
US And China Top Global Warming List, But Not All Emitters Are Equal

RedOrbit: In a finding that comes as little surprise, the United States and China were found to be among the top seven countries that contributed to global warming in the last century. The study, carried out by scientists at the University of Concordia, also added Russia, Brazil, India, Germany and the United Kingdom to that list. Taken together, these countries were responsible for up to 60 percent of global warming between 1906 and 2005, they report. That accounts for 0.7 degree Celsius of the 0.74 degree...
Why are hard-headed US military chiefs worried about global warming?

Telegraph: Here's your starter for ten. Who is about to issue a report concluding that climate change has had a visible and direct impact on the Arctic region? and that dramatic reductions in its sea ice are on the way. The much maligned Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change? The Green Party? Yet another noisy environmental pressure group competing for public attention? Nope. None of the above. It's those infamous, sandal-wearing, green hippies in the Pentagon. The report, Arctic Road Map which is...

UN warns against delayed action on global warming

Associated Press: U.N. experts are warning that the level of global warming gases is rising rapidly, and delaying action will reduce options for dealing with the worst impacts of climate change. The findings were in the final draft of a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the U.N.-sponsored body that provides the scientific basis for climate negotiations. The report, obtained Thursday by The Associated Press, says that global warming will continue to increase unless countries shift quickly...

Underestimating global warming: gaps in Arctic temperature data lead scientists and public astray
2014-01-15 17:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: pen question due to large gaps in temperature data across the vast region. Now, a recent study in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society finds that not only is the Arctic warming eight times faster than the rest of the planet, but failure to account for temperature gaps has led global datasets to underestimate the rise of temperatures worldwide. Recently, some scientists have noted that the pace of global warming appears to have slowed-while many climate change deniers and media...
