Global Warming Linked to Changes in Ocean's Chemical Cycles
2013-09-09 21:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Adding to the list of environmental hazards associated with rising global temperatures is a shift in the ocean's natural chemical changes, a paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change showed. A rise in ocean temperatures -- a byproduct of rising atmospheric temperatures -- will upset the ocean's cycles of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and phosphorus, the study found. The reason, according to the researchers, has to do with the effect of water temperature on phytoplankton, the microscopic...

A Silent Hurricane Season Adds Fuel to a Debate Over Global Warming
2013-09-09 07:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Time: It`s been quiet this hurricane season -- too quiet. Back in May, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted a "very active" tropical-storm season, one with between seven and 11 hurricanes. The agency lowered that estimate in August to between six and nine hurricanes, but still predicted that three to five of them would become major storms, with winds above 111 m.p.h. We`re now a day away from the exact midpoint of the Atlantic hurricane season, the period when storm activity...

China takes advantage of a global warming trend
2013-09-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Business Review: Setting aside the vigorous debate on climate change for a moment, the Arctic is flicking onto Pacific radars for some very good reasons. Shipping routes are opening up and energy fields are being exposed, both of which is grabbing China's attention. Arctic temperatures have risen 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit or 0.13 degrees Celsius over the past half-century. As a result, ice coverage has fallen 53% over summers to 1,384,000 square kilometres today, down from a high of 2,896,800 square kilometres in...

Dark Ocean Carbon Absorption Not Enough To Restrict Global Warming
2013-09-06 16:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: A new study led by the University of Iowa shows that although microbes that live below 600 feet where light doesnt penetrate the so called dark ocean-- might not absorb enough carbon to curtail global warming, they do absorb considerable amounts of carbon, meriting further study. The findings of this study were published in the International Society of Microbial Ecology Journal. While many people are familiar with the concept of trees and grass absorbing carbon from the air, Tim Mattes, associate...

Assessing the Role of Global Warming in Extreme Weather of 2012
2013-09-06 16:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: British and American climate agencies, drawing on work from around the world, have produced the second in what is planned as an annual roundup of studies seeking to characterize the contribution of human-driven global warming to rare and consequential weather and coastal events. The package, Explaining Extreme Events of 2012 from a Climate Perspective, was published yesterday in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. (You can listen to a discussion of the findings between authors...
