This Is What Global Warming Looks Like

Climate Central: Global warming has accelerated during the past three decades, which have each been unusually warm. In fact, the most recent decade from 2001-2010 was the warmest since instrumental records began in 1850, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). While the rate of global warming has slowed in the past several years, possibly due to natural climate variability, the long-term temperature trend clearly shows that we're living on a warming planet. This interactive shows just how...
Fracking could accelerate global warming

New Scientist: The row over fracking for natural gas has hit the UK, with protests over plans in the village of Balcombe. Could they have a point? Studies are suggesting fracking could accelerate climate change, rather than slow it. The case for fracking rests on its reputed ability to stem global warming. Burning gas emits half as much planet-warming carbon dioxide as an equivalent amount of coal. That is why, after embracing fracking, CO2 emissions have fallen in the US. But leading climate scientists are...

Global warming, Arctic ice loss, and armchair scientists

Guardian: As humans put more and more heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere, the Earth's climate changes; we all know that. Some of the trickier questions are, how fast is it changing, what can we expect in the future, what are the costs of slowing emissions (compared to the costs of doing nothing), and what changes are we already observing that give us such confidence in our predictions? Perhaps the poster child of climate change is in the Arctic, where sea ice has been declining at an astonishing rate....

National Public Radio: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released its annual "State of the Climate" assessment. Deke Arndt, an editor of the report, discusses warming temperatures and other climate trends from 2012. Plus, Sol Hsiang, who studies climate and violence, discusses his research connecting rising temperatures to increases in human conflict

Conservative media driving denial of global warming

Daily Caller: Are you a Fox News viewer? If so, then you probably distrust scientists who believe in manmade global warming, according to a new study published in the journal Public Understanding of Science. According to researchers, there is a growing gap in what conservatives and liberals think about global warming, driven by partisan media outlets. There is a growing divide in how conservatives and liberals in the USA understand the issue of global warming, reads the study by Yale Project on Climate Communication....
