Remote lakes are affected by warming climate, research shows
2015-11-26 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The rate of carbon burial in remote lakes has doubled over the last 100 years, suggesting even isolated ecosystems are feeling the effects of our changing climate. Scientists from Loughborough University, Science Museum of Minnesota, and University of Quebec at Montreal, analysed data from remote lakes across North America and discovered a doubling in the rate at which these lakes sequester (bury) carbon in their sediments. These changes are linked to fertilization of the forest and lakes by atmospherically...

Global warming will be faster than expected
2015-11-26 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Global warming will progress faster than what was previously believed. The reason is that greenhouse gas emissions that arise naturally are also affected by increased temperatures. This has been confirmed in a new study from Linköping University that measures natural methane emissions. "Everything indicates that global warming caused by humans leads to increased natural greenhouse gas emissions. Our detailed measurements reveal a clear pattern of greater methane emissions from lakes at higher...

Chesapeake waters are warming, study finds, posing challenges to healing bay
2015-11-24 22:25:24| Paper - Topix.net
The Chesapeake Bay's waters are warming, in some places more rapidly than the region's air temperatures, researchers from the University of Maryland say. If unchecked, scientists say, the trend could complicate costly, long-running efforts to restore the ailing estuary, worsen fish-suffocating dead zones and alter the food web on which the bay's fish and crabs depend.

No substantive evidence for 'pause' in global warming, study finds
2015-11-24 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] There is no substantive evidence for a 'pause' or 'hiatus' in global warming and the use of those terms is therefore inaccurate, new research from the University of Bristol, UK has found. The researchers, led by Professor Stephan Lewandowsky of Bristol's School of Experimental Psychology and the Cabot Institute, examined 40 peer-reviewed scientific articles published between 2009 and 2014 that specifically addressed the presumed 'hiatus' and found …

More than 2,000 academics call on world heads to do more to limit global warming
2015-11-23 14:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: More than 2,000 academics from over 80 countries including linguist Noam Chomsky, climate scientist Michael E Mann, philosopher Peter Singer, and historian Naomi Oreskes have called on world leaders to do more to limit global warming to a 1.5C rise. In an open letter, they write that leaders meeting in Paris at a crunch UN climate summit next week should be mustering planet-wide mobilisation, at all societal levels and call for citizens around the world to hold their leaders to account on...
