Supreme Court to review EPA rules on curbing global warming gases from factories, power plants
2013-10-16 09:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to decide whether to block key aspects of the Obama administration's plan aimed at cutting power plant and factory emissions of gases blamed for global warming. The justices said they will review a unanimous federal appeals court ruling that upheld the government's unprecedented regulation of carbon dioxide and five other heat-trapping gases. The question in the case is whether the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to regulate automobile emissions...

Warming could make El Nio more intense
2013-10-15 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: El Nino future Global warming is expected to increase the severity of droughts and floods due to El Nio in the tropical Pacific, new Australian research has found. Dr Scott Power, from the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, and colleagues, report their findings today in the journal Nature. During El Nio, the ocean surface temperature in the eastern Pacific warms and this leads to droughts in the western tropical Pacific and floods in the eastern part. This in turn has...

Global Warming And The Future Of El Nino
2013-10-14 22:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: A new study published in the journal Nature says that climate change could have a negative impact on the El Nio-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) weather pattern. El Nio occurs in the Pacific Ocean and is an important part of the worlds climate system, and new research shows how rising temperatures could affect the weather pattern in the future. During El Nio, the eastern and tropical Pacific regions of the planet warm up, while during La Nia these areas get a little chillier. These weather patterns...

Ozone hole over Antarctica caused Africa's warming
2013-10-14 21:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: The infamous hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica may have caused warming in southern Africa over the past two decades, researchers say. However, as the hole in the ozone layer continues to shrink due to international policies that limit the chemicals that eat away at the ozone, temperatures may cool down in southern Africa, the study researchers also said. Ozone is a cousin to the oxygen molecules people breathe, consisting of three atoms of oxygen instead of the regular oxygen molecule's...

Global warming will increase intensity of El Nino, scientists say
2013-10-14 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Scientists say they are more certain than ever about the impact of global warming on a critical weather pattern. The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) occurs in the Pacific Ocean but plays an important part in the world's climate system. Researchers have until now been unsure as to how rising temperatures would affect ENSO in the future. But this new study suggests that droughts and floods driven by ENSO will be more intense. The ENSO phenomenon plays a complicated role in the global...
