NOAA report card for 2012's climate: More warming

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,...

Oceans showing strong response to global warming
2013-08-06 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: Some key ocean indicator species, including phytoplankton, zooplankton and bony fish, are moving towards the poles at the average rate of about 45 miles per decade in response to warming oceans 10 times faster than the average movement of land species. The findings are part of a new study, funded by the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis in California, providing more evidence that global warming will have substantial impacts on ocean ecosystems, including changes in the timing...

Global warming leads to darker ice leads to more global warming

Grist: Like a towheaded baby whose golden curls inevitably turn mousy brown at exactly the same age he or she starts giving a crap about hair color, our planet is going darker on top as it ages. Thats bad news for a couple of reasons first, because its happening as a result of global warming, and second, because it will make global warming worse. Scientists analyzed 30 years of data and discovered that the Arctic is losing some of its reflectivity i.e., its getting darker. Thats because of thinning...

Global Scientists Shocked by True Scale of Ocean Warming
2013-08-05 21:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: Warming oceans are causing marine species to change their breeding times and shift their habitats toward the poles much faster than land-based species, finds new research by scientists at 17 institutions across the world. The researchers warn that these big shifts in the timing of major events could produce disruption to ocean food webs, affecting all sea life, as well as humans who depend on the sea for food. Findings of the three-year research project, conducted by a working group of University...
Global warming is changing marine species, Plymouth scientists find

Herald: GLOBAL warming is causing a "widespread shift" in the behaviour of marine species in the world`s oceans, according to new research by a city team. Scientists at Plymouth University were involved in putting together a report, entitled Global Imprint of Climate Change on Marine Life, which found that warming oceans are causing marine species to change breeding times and move quicker than expected. The findings could have "substantial consequences" for the broader marine landscape, and will form...
