The Future of Epic Blizzards in a Warming World
2016-01-23 00:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: In case you haven't heard, Washington, D.C., and other parts of the Mid-Atlantic region, are about to get walloped by a major storm that could bury the city in a record-breaking amount of snow. The storm is expected to bring snows that could top 2 feet in the D.C. area and has already resulted in thousands of cancelled flights. While snows may not be quite as impressive further north, the storm's fierce winds could whip up significant coastal flooding. Part of the reason this Snowzilla storm...

Why Big Blizzards In Winter Dont Disprove Global Warming
2016-01-22 18:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: Another epic blizzard threatens 50 million people on the East Coast, with a bulls-eye on Washington DC. And leading climatologists again explain how human-induced climate change, especially warming-fueled ocean temperatures, are super-charging the amount of moisture in the atmosphere the storm will dump on us. First, though, I think the name, Winter Storm Jonas, doesn`t do justice to this blizzard, especially since the Jonas brothers are a pretty harmless pop rock band. I`m suggesting the name,...

How attitudes about global warming compare to actual warming of the globe
2016-01-21 11:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: The bars in red on the graph below are the 20 hottest years on human record. There were hotter years, like when the Earth was still mostly molten rock. But since mankind has had the capability to actually measure temperatures around the world, the 20 bars below indicate the hottest years we've seen. (Those temperatures are in Celsius and are relative to the average land and sea temperature over the course of the 20th century.) You may notice a pattern. Of those 20 years, 15 have been since...

Livermore scientists find global ocean warming has doubled in recent decades
2016-01-19 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] LIVERMORE, California — Lawrence Livermore scientists, working with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and university colleagues, have found that half of the global ocean heat content increase since 1865 has occurred over the past two decades. “In recent decades the ocean has continued to warm substantially, and with time the warming signal is reaching deeper into the ocean,” said LLNL scientist Peter Gleckler, lead author of a paper published in the jo…

Rising temperatures at Australian Open 'caused by global warming'
2016-01-18 09:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
SBS: The Australian Conservation Foundation reported that in recent years players have complained about the heat at the first grand-slam tournament of the year, including Canadian Frank Dancevic, who collapsed during a match in 2014. Analysis from University of Melbourne Atmosphere and Ocean researcher Ben Hague shows January temperatures in Melbourne have risen by 0.8 degrees Celsius each decade since 1987, but in the two weeks of the Australian Open the increase has been 1.25 degrees.
