Slight Global Warming May Come From Ozone Winds

redOrbit: Laypeople tend to mix up the ozone hole and global warming. The popular belief is that the hole is a major cause of the worlds increasing average temperature. On the other hand, scientists have long attributed the ozone shortage in the hole to a small cooling trend. A new computer model study, led by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, suggests that there might be a slight warming influence from the ozone hole. The influence is due to the holes effect on winds, however, not temperatures. The...

Fracking could accelerate global warming
2013-08-07 19:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
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 warning...

Massive federal study shows more warming in 2012
2013-08-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: A new massive federal study says the world in 2012 sweltered with continued signs of climate change. Rising sea levels, snow melt, heat buildup in the oceans, and melting Arctic sea ice and Greenland ice sheets all broke or nearly broke records, but temperatures only sneaked into the top 10. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Tuesday issued a peer-reviewed 260-page report, which agency chief Kathryn Sullivan calls its annual checking on the pulse of the planet. The report,...

New federal report says earth is warming and sea levels are rising
2013-08-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Times-Picayune: A new federal report says that 2012 was one of the 10 warmest on record and, along with rising sea levels and arctic ice melting, are clear signs the worldwide climate is changing. The report said that four major independent datasets ranked 2012 the 8th or 9th warmest on record. It said the United States and Argentina had their warmest year on record. The 260-page peer reviewed report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is likely to be cited often by President Barack Obama and...
