Prince William FOIA case on global warming headed for Virginia Supreme Court

Washington Post: The fight by a conservative legal group and Del. Robert Marshall (R-Prince William) to obtain the e-mails written by leading climate change scientist Michael E. Mann while he was at the University of Virginia was shot down by a judge in Prince William County last year. But Marshall and the legal group appealed, and the Virginia Supreme Court has agreed to take the case and rule on whether the state`s Freedom of Information Act exempts unpublished academic research from being disclosed to the public,...

Arctic's Hudson Bay Warming Rapidly, at Tipping Point
2013-10-09 02:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: The Arctic has experienced some of Earth's first and greatest effects of climate change, but the icy lowlands around Hudson Bay have remained remarkably resistant to warming-until recently. A new study reports that, since the mid-1990s, aquatic ecosystems in one of the Arctic's last refugia have undergone dramatic climate-driven changes and appear to have reached an ecological tipping point. While local temperatures had remained relatively steady before the last two decades, they've risen since...

Grist: In a major report [PDF] released late last month, the United Nations` Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world`s leading authority on climate science, told us it was more certain than ever that humans are causing global warming. It also upgraded its projections for sea-level rise by the end of the century, and even broached the subject of climate change`s irreversibility: We may already have done so much harm to the Earth that some of it can`t be undone in our lifetimes, or even in the...

Water in Earth's atmosphere may cause climate warming
2013-10-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Times of India: Water vapour in Earth's stratosphere contributes to warmer temperatures and likely plays an important role in the evolution of climate on our planet, a new study has found. Researchers found that increased surface temperatures, such as from the addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, leads to increased humidity in the stratosphere. Because stratospheric water vapour is a greenhouse gas, this leads to additional warming, they said. This cycle is frequently called a climate feedback. "We...

Conservatives warming up to climate change

Free Press: Michigan voters dealt champions of clean energy a serious setback last November when they voted down a proposal that would have imposed constitutional limits on the use of fossil fuels. Some voters doubted any need for government action to combat climate change. Others, who applauded the idea of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in principle, were frightened by TV ads warning that new restrictions on the use of coal, oil and natural gas would lead to sharply higher utility bills. But just a...
