Guardian: The figure below from the 2013 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report compares the global surface warming projections made in the 1990, 1995, 2001, and 2007 IPCC reports to the temperature measurements. IPCC AR5 Figure 1.4. Solid lines and squares represent measured average global surface temperature changes by NASA (blue), NOAA (yellow), and the UK Hadley Centre (green). The colored shading shows the projected range of surface warming in the IPCC First Assessment Report (FAR;...

The Political Science of Global Warming
2013-09-30 14:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Wall Street Journal: "Human influence extremely likely to be the dominant cause of observed warming since the middle of the last century," was the headline from Friday's release of the first instalment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's fifth assessment report. "Extremely likely"indicating a 95%-100% likelihoodwas ratcheted up one notch from the 2007 fourth assessment report's "very likely." Yet compared to 2007, the IPCC widened its estimate of the responsiveness of the climate system to carbon dioxide...

China Wants to Cut Down on CoalAnd That's Bad for Global Warming
2013-09-30 12:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: The current plan to address one of Chinas pressing environmental crises--polluted urban air--could have the unintended effect of creating other ecological catastrophes in China and beyond. Northern Chinas reliance on burning coal for heat and energy contributes to the heavy haze that shrouds city buildings, especially in winter, and shortens the life spans of northerners as compared with their southern counterparts by as much as five years, according to a recent study (PDF) in the Proceedings...
Ocean warming and acidification deliver double blow to coral reefs
2013-09-30 10:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Arstechnica: The dual threats of ocean acidification and anthropogenic warming have the potential to wreak havoc on marine life over the coming decades. Corals require acid-sensitive calcium carbonate for structure and heat-sensitive symbionts for sustenance, so they seem to have the most to lose from a warmer, more acidic ocean. Indeed, numerous studies have already indicated that calcifying organisms, including corals, would be among the worst to suffer. Although many studies have looked at heat and acidification,...
