Reuters: Record temperatures and changes to climate patterns in the worlds oceans are among signs that a global warming pause is coming to an end, Britains Met Office said in a report on Monday. The report comes just over two months before negotiators from almost 200 countries meet in Paris to thrash out a U.N. deal to curb global climate change. In 2013, a United Nations report on climate science made an observation that temperatures had increased at a slower rate in the years since 1998 than the...
This is how Southern Ocean helps the earth stabilize global warming

Next Digit: The Southern Ocean, encircling Antarctica is absorbing increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the air, and acts as the Earth`s natural carbon sink. Researchers found that the strong carbon sink, helping lower the effects of global warming at the moment. Earlier, researchers believed that the ocean had stopped absorbing carbon dioxide, but new data has revealed that it has revived its effort to soak up the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. If the oceans had stopped or slowed their intake of CO2,...

Why Islamic Declaration on Global Climate Change could be a game changer on Global Warming

Daily Kos: Pope Francis may have soaked up headlines earlier this summer when he published a whopping 192-page encyclical on climate change, but this week Muslims issued a declaration that could influence an even larger population than the Catholic decree. The declaration, announced Tuesday as part of the two-day International Islamic Climate Change Symposium in Istanbul, further exemplifies the trend of faith-based climate activism ahead of the U.N. climate change summit in December. Like the papal encyclical,...
Global Warming Has Worsened California Drought By Roughly 25 Percent, Study Says

Yale Environment 360: Rising temperatures driven by climate change have measurably worsened the California drought by increasing evaporation rates and exacerbating the state's lack of rainfall by up to 27 percent, according to a study from Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. While natural weather variations are largely thought to have caused the state's precipitation deficit, rising temperatures appear to be intensifying the situation by driving moisture from plants and soil into the air. The new study...

Ocean warming blamed as lobster population shifts north
2015-08-18 19:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: The lobster population has crashed to the lowest levels on record in southern New England while climbing to heights never before seen in the cold waters off Maine and other northern reaches -- a geographic shift that scientists attribute in large part to the warming of the ocean. The trend is driving lobstermen in Connecticut and Rhode Island out of business, ending a centuries-old way of life. Restaurant diners, supermarket shoppers and summer vacationers aren't seeing much difference in price...
