Record hot 2015 gave glimpse at future of global warming
2016-01-25 12:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: 2015 smashed the record for hottest year by about 0.14°C. To put that into perspective, the previous two hottest years (2014 and 2010) only broke the prior records by 0.002°C, according to Berkeley Earth data. The only time the temperature record was shattered by such a large margin was in the monster El Nio year of 1998. While the current El Nio event is also becoming monstrously strong, its only now reaching its peak intensity, and theres an approximately 4-month lag before changes in El...

Record hot years almost certainly caused by man-made warming
2016-01-25 11:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A record-breaking string of hot years since 2000 is almost certainly a sign of man-made global warming, with vanishingly small chances that it was caused by random, natural swings, a study showed on Monday. Last year was the hottest since records began in the 19th century in a trend that almost all scientists blame on greenhouse gases from burning of fossil fuels, stoking heat waves, droughts, downpours and rising sea levels. "Recent observed runs of record temperatures are extremely unlikely...
Planet shatters warming records, 2015 hottest `by far`
2016-01-25 02:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Senegal ACTU: NASA, which measures temperature using satellites rather than ground stations and ocean buoys like NOAA, said 2015 was 0.23 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than 2014 and 1.6 degrees above the 20th-century average. It was the largest year-on-year increase in record-breaking global temperatures, he said. The report, which was confirmed by a separate analysis from NASA scientists, marks the fourth time a global temperature record has been set this century. However, a year ago was the first time the...

Atlantic, Caribbean Storms Strengthen With Warming
2016-01-24 16:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Hurricanes in the Atlantic and Caribbean oceans will grow more than twice as powerful and damaging as ocean temperatures rise from global warming, a new study says. Warming seas could produce more rainfall and far more destructive storm surges of water along the ocean shorelines in the next 50 to 100 years, said the study by U.S. scientists published this week in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. "It could affect the entire Atlantic coast," said William Lau, a co-author and research...

How to Protect Your Portfolio from Global Warming
2016-01-23 07:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Investopedia: Climate change remains an important issue for people worldwide, but its almost always brought up in a vacuum -- dangerous for its own sake, but not typically connected to other global issues. As we come off of the warmest year on record, research is starting to show that global warming could affect many aspects of life around the world, and the global economy is at the center of that conversation. Drought, temperature change and drastic weather events always impact the economies in which they...
