Climate change: IPCC issues stark warning over global warming
2013-09-21 22:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Scientists will this week issue their starkest warning yet about the mounting dangers of global warming. In a report to be handed to political leaders in Stockholm on Monday, they will say that the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation have now led to a warming of the entire globe, including land surfaces, oceans and the atmosphere. Extreme weather events, including heatwaves and storms, have increased in many regions while ice sheets are dwindling at an alarming rate. In addition, sea levels...

Climate change 'hiatus': scientists seek to qualify evidence of apparent global warming slowdown
2013-09-21 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: Authors of a landmark UN report on climate change remain adamant that humans are heating up the planet by burning fossil fuels and cutting down CO2-absorbing forests, despite data from the report suggesting a purported slowdown in global warming over the past 15 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes (IPCC) full 127-page document - due for release in Stockholm next week - is expected to suggest the link between human activity and global warming is clearer than ever, regardless...

Melting ice, warming waters could erode way of life for Alaska North Slope
2013-09-20 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PBS: More than 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle, Alaska`s North Slope is ground zero for global climate change. NewsHour producer April Brown reports the melting ice has opened up opportunity for shipping and other development -- industry that could be catastrophic for the way of life of residents. GWEN IFILL: Now to a town that's been called Ground Zero for climate change. Even as residents of Barrow, Alaska, cope with changing weather patterns and melting sea ice, many are determined to keep...
Global warming 'hiatus' unlikely to last: draft U.N. report
2013-09-20 14:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A "hiatus" in global warming so far this century is partly caused by natural variations in a chaotic climate and is unlikely to last, a draft United Nations report by leading climate scientists says. The 127-page draft, and a shorter summary for policymakers that is due for release in Stockholm on September 27 after editing, say factors including a haze of volcanic ash and a cyclical dip in energy emitted from the sun may also have contributed to a slower warming trend. Explaining what the...

Global Warming Could Explain Exponential Sea Ice Growth
2013-09-18 22:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: In a bit of strange and unprecedented good news, it was recently discovered Antarctic sea ice is growing at record rates. This is definitely odd, of course, because the air and the oceans have been getting warmer in the area. There is now more sea ice in Antarctica than there had been in the 1970s, a data point which University of Washington (UW) researcher Jinlun Zhang wanted to unpack and investigate. According to his National Science Foundation-funded research, global warming might be responsible...
