Anglers feel the burn of global warming

Times Herald: Last month, it was the Department of Natural Resources talking about what global warming would do to the critters with legs. This month, its the National Wildlife Federation warning about the obvious: Ice fishing isnt what it used to be. Its more than ice fishing, but thats a good place to start. University of Wisconsin researchers have been tracking ice-in and ice-out data since 1855, because what else is there to do there? The graphic is easy to read; ice-fishing season in central...

Economic woes may mute impact of U.N. report saying warming manmade
2013-09-06 15:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The strongest scientific warning to date that global warming is man-made may have a muted impact when it is released later this month with many governments more focused on nursing weak economies than on fixing the planet. Many are also still smarting from a failure to agree a global pact to fight climate change at a summit in Copenhagen in 2009 and wary of making bold promises under a new timetable meant to agree a global U.N. deal in 2015. Even so, the planned release of a report by the U.N.'s...

Studying the effects of global warming in plants
2013-09-05 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Times Beacon: While plants don't generally reach for a glass of milk, crouch down to stalk their prey or seek higher ground in a storm, they do respond to changes around them. They compete for sunlight, water and territory. They also have ways of turning on or off their own genes in response to stressful conditions. Qiong Alison Liu, a principal investigator and research assistant professor at Stony Brook University, recently revealed how microRNA, which is involved in gene expression, changes in response to...

The Pacific Ocean fills in another piece of the global warming puzzle
2013-09-03 06:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: A new study published in the journal Nature incorporates temperature changes in the tropical Pacific Ocean into an advanced climate model, and finds that the model can reproduce observed global surface temperature changes remarkably well. Importantly, as authors Yu Kosaka and Shang-Ping Xie from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography explain, accounting for the changes in the Pacific Ocean allows the model to reproduce the slowed global surface warming over the past 15 years. It also accurately...

Slower warming trend explained
2013-09-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
C&EN: Like cold bathwater, unusually cool surface water in the tropical Pacific Ocean can help explain why the average surface air temperature around the globe has slowed its warming trend, a study suggests (Nature 2013, DOI: 10.1038/nature12534). The findings indicate that the global air temperature flattening observed during the past 15 years reflects Earths natural climate variability and is temporary, says climate scientist Andrew E. Dessler of Texas A&M University, who wasnt involved in the study....
