Global warming slowdown data sought in leaked UN climate report
2013-08-31 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: U.S. and European Union envoys are seeking more clarity from the United Nations on a slowdown in global warming that climate skeptics have cited as a reason not to panic about environmental changes, leaked documents show. Theyre requesting that more details on the so-called hiatus be included in a key document set to be debated at a UN conference next month that will summarize the latest scientific conclusions on climate change. Including more information on the hiatus will help officials...

Antarctic moss a charming but chilling sign of warming
2013-08-30 20:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: A fleecy clump of moss growing on the Antarctic Peninsula might not seem like much of a sight to behold, but it`s a sign of a climate in flux. The patch of Polytrichum moss, sampled in 2008 by scientists at Alexander Island`s Lazarev Bay, either did not exist or was slumbering beneath ice when the peninsula was first spotted by Russian sailors in 1820. But now it is flourishing on ice-free rock - the world`s southernmost such moss bank. The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the fastest-warming...

A Cooler Pacific May Be Behind Recent Pause In Global Warming
2013-08-29 09:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: A study in the journal Nature could help explain why the Earth's average temperature hasn't increased during the past 15 years - despite a long-term trend of global warming. The Earth's average temperature has risen by more than 1 degree Fahrenheit since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. But the temperature rise has not been moving in lock step with the rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide - mainly from burning fossil fuels - traps heat in the air. Now scientists...

Cooling Pacific has Dampened Global Warming, Research Shows
2013-08-29 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Cooling waters in the tropical Pacific Ocean appear to be a major factor in dampening global warming in recent years, scientists said on Wednesday. Their work is a big step forward in helping to solve the greatest puzzle of current climate change research why global average surface temperatures, while still on an upward trend, have risen more slowly in the past 10 to fifteen years than previously. Waters in the eastern tropical regions of the Pacific have been notably cooler in recent years,...
