Human activities to blame for unprecedented climate changes and global warming

Delhi Daily News: A report by United Nation's World Meteorological Organization (WMO) says that 2015 was the hottest year since 2000 and the researchers are blaming the greenhouse gases and the man-made activities for the fuelling heat waves and downpours. About fifteen of the 16 hottest years on record belonged to this century, the exceptionally strong El Nino and the greenhouse gases together had the effect on the climate system in 2015. The influence of El Nino will weaken in the upcoming time, but the effect...

Warming Waters Linked to Northeast Seagrass Die-offs
2016-01-27 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Since Paula and Len Boutin moved into their house on Massachusetts's Weweantic River more than a decade ago, they've ambled down to their dock to sample and test the water hundreds of times. "We just feel we're helping out the environment,' Len said. The river drains into Buzzards Bay, where eelgrass holds sand in place on bay floors and shelters young finfish, scallop larvae and other wildlife. But the eelgrass is wasting away -- and new analysis of two decades of summertime monitoring by the...

Statistically, humanity is almost certainly responsible for global warming
2016-01-26 22:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Gizmag: The world is getting warmer, with 13 out of the 15 warmest years on record occurring in the current century. But just how sure are we that humanity's burning of oil and coal is the key factor in the temperature increase? A new project, led by researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, has answered that very question, working to estimate the likelihood of those temperature trends occurring naturally. That likelihood has been estimated to be incredible tiny in the past, as...

Sea level rise from ocean warming underestimated, scientists say
2016-01-26 03:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence-France Presse: The amount of sea level rise that comes from the oceans warming and expanding has been underestimated, and could be about twice as much as previously calculated, German researchers have said. The findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a peer-reviewed US journal, suggest that increasingly severe storm surges could be anticipated as a result. Sea level can mount due to two factors melting ice and the thermal expansion of water as it warms. Until now, researchers...
Ocean Warming is Making Floods Worse, Study Finds

Climate Central: Floodwaters that washed icy brine into streets and homes along the eastern seaboard during Saturday's blizzard reached heights in some places not experienced since Hurricane Sandy. "I just hope it isn't a sign of things to come,' Pam Bross told a local newspaper as she mopped up the market she operates on a New Jersey street not normally reached by storm surges. With tides and storm surges inching upward and inward, worsening floods are harbingers of even soggier times ahead. As the weekend's...
