Sea levels rising at fastest rate in 2,800 years due to global warming, studies show
2016-02-23 03:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Sea levels are rising several times faster than they have in the past 2,800 years, with the process accelerating because of manmade global warming, according to new studies. An international team of scientists examined two dozen locations across the globe to chart rising and falling seas over centuries and millennia. Until the 1880s and the worlds industrialisation, the fastest seas rose was about 3cm to 4cm a century. During that time global sea levels did not get much higher or lower than...
Global Warming Crushes Records. Again
2016-02-18 19:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Here we go again. For the surface of planet Earth, 2015 was the hottest year on record by a stunning margin. But already, 2016 is on track to beat it. Last month was the hottest January in 137 years of record keeping, according to data released Wednesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It's the ninth consecutive month to set a new record. To be sure, some of the recent extremes are the result of a monster El Nio weather pattern that still lingers in the Pacific Ocean....

Climate: Lobster Shell Disease, Sea Star Epidemic Caused By Warming Waters
2016-02-18 03:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Lobsters in some areas of North America have experienced since the 1990s something called "epizootic shell disease," which makes their shells unsightly and difficult to sell. The condition has devastated lobster fisheries in southern New England, and now the Maine lobster industry may be at risk, too. A new Cornell University study conducted in 2015 suggests that warming ocean temperatures are largely responsible for this epidemic. Cornell researchers have published two studies detailing how diverse...
Disease, warming oceans, rock lobster and sea star populations
2016-02-16 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Two new Cornell University studies show how diverse marine organisms are susceptible to diseases made worse by warming oceans. The first study warns that warm sea temperatures in 2015 may increase the levels of epizootic shell disease in American lobster in the northern Gulf of Maine in 2016. The second provides the first evidence linking warmer ocean temperatures with a West Coast epidemic of sea star wasting disease that has infected more than 20 species and devastated populations since 2013....
Europe launches satellite to help track global warming

Reuters: Europe launched a satellite on Tuesday that will help predict weather phenomena such as El Nino and track the progress of global warming as part of the multibillion-euro Copernicus Earth observation project. The Sentinel-3A satellite, part of a system of satellites that is to monitor Earth, blasted off on board a Rockot launcher from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in Russia's north-western Arkhangelsk region at 12:57 p.m. EDT (1757 GMT) on Tuesday. It headed for orbit 815 km (506 miles) above Earth,...
