Global warming pause never happened, scientists say

Washington Post: The climate science sphere has been wrapped up in a major debate for the past several years: over the global warming pause. But now, a growing body of research has some scientists saying that the case may, in fact, be closed. Theyre arguing that the pause never existed. The notion of a global warming pause, or climate hiatus, suggests that the rising of global surface temperatures has significantly slowed or even stopped during the past 15 years. The idea, which experts believe cropped up...

Global warming 'pause' theory dead but still twitching

Agence France-Presse: A study released Thursday is the second this year seeking to debunk a 1998-2013 "pause" in global warming, but other climate scientists insist the slowdown was real, even if not a game-changer. When evidence of the apparent hiatus first emerged, it was seized upon by sceptics as evidence that climate change was driven more by natural cycles that humans pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. "Our results clearly show that ... there never was a hiatus, a pause or a slowdown," Noah Diffenbaugh,...

EcoWatch: Some Alaskans joke that mosquitoes are "Alaska`s state bird," but the pesky insects are becoming no joke. Warming Arctic temperatures have caused their numbers to swell immensely in the region in recent years. Lauren Culler has been studying insects in Greenland for the last several years. Culler, a postdoctoral researcher for Dartmouth Colleges Institute of Arctic Studies, along with a team of researchers published a study yesterday in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Why the Arctic's mosquito...
Exxon's own research confirmed fossil fuels' role in global warming decades ago

InsideClimate: At a meeting in Exxon Corporation's headquarters, a senior company scientist named James F. Black addressed an audience of powerful oilmen. Speaking without a text as he flipped through detailed slides, Black delivered a sobering message: carbon dioxide from the world's use of fossil fuels would warm the planet and could eventually endanger humanity. "In the first place, there is general scientific agreement that the most likely manner in which mankind is influencing the global climate is through...

Emaciated polar bear pictures raise global warming concerns

Telegraph: Photographs of emaciated polar bears have gone viral on social media, and raised concerns over the effects of global warming. One, taken by National Geographic photographer Paul Nicklen, shows a dead polar bear lying on a pile of rocks in the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. Mr Nicklen is trained as a biologist and has worked in the Arctic for decades. He says that on a trip to Svalbard last summer he was unable to locate any live bears, but did find two that appeared to have starved to death....
