Extreme global warming seen further away than previously thought

Reuters: Extreme global warming is less likely in coming decades after a slowdown in the pace of temperature rises so far this century, an international team of scientists said on Sunday. Warming is still on track, however, to breach a goal set by governments around the world of limiting the increase in temperatures to below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times, unless tough action is taken to limit rising greenhouse gas emissions. "The most extreme rates of warming simulated by...

Climate slowdown means extreme rates of warming 'not as likely'
2013-05-19 19:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Scientists say the recent downturn in the rate of global warming will lead to lower temperature rises in the short-term. Since 1998, there has been an unexplained "standstill" in the heating of the Earth's atmosphere. Writing in Nature Geoscience, the researchers say this will reduce predicted warming in the coming decades. But long-term, the expected temperature rises will not alter significantly. The slowdown in the expected rate of global warming has been studied for several years...

Who's Paying the Price for Global Warming?

Scientific American: Climate change is already melting the Arctic, queering weather and threatening food supplies. So who's paying the price for all these global warming impacts? It might seem like insurers are most at risk. Indeed, insurers did pay out some $33 billion in climate-related damages last year in the U.S. alone. But it turns out that bearing the brunt of climate change costs is you, the taxpayer. A new analysis by the Natural Resources Defense Council, the NRDC, finds that the federal government spent...

Scientists agree on global warming
2013-05-19 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Virginian-Pilot: The attack on the notion of global warming takes many forms, but a particularly pernicious one argues that scientific consensus on the subject is a myth. That charge has been made so many times by so many global warming deniers that 60 percent of Americans have accepted that scientists are divided on the issue. They simply aren't, and a new study shows just how far the fable diverges from reality. The study, published in Environmental Research Letters last week, examined the conclusions of...
