Amid 'uncertainty', scientists blame mankind for global warming
2013-09-18 12:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Top climate scientists will blame mankind more clearly than ever for global warming next week but may struggle to drive home the message in a report that uses the term "uncertainty" 42 times. The 'language gap' between scientists and the policy makers, public and media they seek to alert is proving hard to bridge. Scientists say uncertainty is inevitable at the frontiers of knowledge - in, for instance, calculating how much of Greenland will thaw or how fast temperatures will rise by 2100 - but...

Severe flooding in Colorado linked to global warming
2013-09-17 16:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Conditions were so bad, the National Weather Service felt compelled to use the words "biblical rainfall amounts" to communicate the risk to local residents. Any other time, extra precipitation is cause for rejoicing in Colorado. Ongoing drought has facilitated massive wildfires across the state for two years running. We'll take all the wet we can get, although as the past few days have shown, we'd prefer it doesn't all fall at once. As I write this, the rain has slowed, even stopped in some...

What's causing global warming? Look for the fingerprints
2013-09-17 06:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Scientists are a skeptical bunch. We never accept claims without evidence and we spend large parts of our careers trying to show that other scientist's claims are wrong. This self scrutiny is one of our best traits, and it is a major reason why science advances over time. With this said, it often surprises people that scientists are in such strong agreement about human impacts on the Earth's climate. Many studies, including research by Doran and Zimmerman, Anderegg and colleagues, and more recently...

United Kingdom: Met Office promises new tools to better understand global warming
2013-09-13 11:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Better predictions of how extreme weather events will be affected by climate change and improvements in models to help understand more local impacts are set to improve understanding of global warming in the future, according to the UK's Met Office. The conclusions are part of a public briefing document prepared by scientists at the Met Office Hadley Centre, in advance of the release of a landmark report from the UN's climate science panel due later this month. The Intergovernmental Panel on...
Warming climate changes Greenland's landscape as we watch
2013-09-12 11:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Minnesota Public Radio: A warming climate is reshaping Greenland as scientists watch, says Paul Huttner, chief meteorologist for MPR News. Runoff from melting glaciers threatens to raise the world's sea level. But the retreating ice is also revealing places never seen before, sparking interest among mining and oil and gas companies. "This is one of the interesting opportunities evolving as the climate changes, whether we like it or not," Huttner said. "Mineral companies, oil and gas companies, they are racing to explore...
