New York Times: Updated, 1:02 p.m. | Justin Gillis has provided a look at the forthcoming report on climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation options from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, based on a leaked final draft (dated Oct. 28) that was posted on the blog of Donna Laframboise, a longtime critic of the panel. (You can also download it here.) Gilliss piece focuses on the section on agricultural impacts of climate change. Please read it and return, keeping in mind that language could...

Pacific Ocean warming faster than it has in 10,000 years, study finds
2013-11-02 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: Scientists have struggled to explain a recent slowdown in the rise of global surface temperatures while skeptics have seized on the 15-year lull to cast doubt on the science of climate change. A new study offers one explanation of where much of the heat trapped by greenhouse gas emissions is going: the ocean. Scientists found that parts of the Pacific Ocean are absorbing heat faster than they have over the past 10,000 years. The results, published Friday in the journal Science, suggest seawater...

Global warming to pinch Salt Lake City water supply

Summit County: By now its no secret that global warming will have a significant impact on water supplies in parts of the world, and regions where water is already scarce will be first to feel the pinch That includes the interior West, where winter snowpack provides critical water storage. Already, projections show that spring runoff is coming much earlier than just a few years ago, and that, in many areas, more of the total annual precipitation is falling as rain. In a new study, a team of researchers tried...

Pacific Ocean Warming at Fastest Rate in 10,000 Years
2013-11-01 20:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Just how rapid is the current rate of warming of the ocean? There is an interesting new article by Rosenthal and collaborators in the latest issue of the journal Science, Pacific Ocean Heat Content During the Past 10,000 Years that attempts to address this question. The article compares current rates of ocean warming with long-term paleoclimatic evidence from ocean sediments. So how rapid is the ocean warming? Well, for the Pacific ocean at least, faster than any other time in at least the past...

Oceans Warming Faster Than They Have Over Past 10,000 Years
2013-11-01 04:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Times: A new study finds that the oceans could be holding the missing heat from global warming. The experts at the U.N.`s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had a particularly pressing challenge as they prepared the newest assessment on global warming science, the first chapter of which was released in September. The problem was that the climate wasn`t acting the way they`d expected. In recent years, global greenhouse gas emissions had kept rising--hitting an all-time record in 2012. Yet...
