So bad it will be good! Global warming report will scare countries to action, says UN review head

Independent: The United Nations IPCC report on climate change will present such compelling scientific evidence that humans are responsible for global warming that governments around the world will respond by introducing ambitious legally-binding targets to reduce their carbon emissions, Lord Stern predicts. Lord Stern, the author of the hugely influential Stern Review into the financial implications of climate change, said he had been greatly encouraged by recent signs from key carbon emitters such as China...
Global warming is likely to increase severe thunderstorm conditions in U.S., research finds
2013-09-23 23:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Severe thunderstorms, often exhibiting destructive rainfall, hail and tornadoes, are one of the primary causes of catastrophic losses in the United States. New climate models suggest a robust increase in these types of storms across the country. In 2012, 11 weather disasters in the United States crossed the billion-dollar threshold in economic losses. Seven of those events were related to severe thunderstorms. New climate analyses led by Stanford scientists indicate that global warming is likely...

Global warming 'hiatus' puts climate change scientists on the spot
2013-09-23 06:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: It's a climate puzzle that has vexed scientists for more than a decade and added fuel to the arguments of those who insist man-made global warming is a myth. Since just before the start of the 21st century, the Earth's average global surface temperature has failed to rise despite soaring levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases and years of dire warnings from environmental advocates. Now, as scientists with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change gather in Sweden this week to approve...

Global warming 'hiatus' unlikely to last: draft U.N. report
2013-09-20 14:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A "hiatus" in global warming so far this century is partly caused by natural variations in a chaotic climate and is unlikely to last, a draft United Nations report by leading climate scientists says. The 127-page draft, and a shorter summary for policymakers that is due for release in Stockholm on September 27 after editing, say factors including a haze of volcanic ash and a cyclical dip in energy emitted from the sun may also have contributed to a slower warming trend. Explaining what the...

Global Warming Could Explain Exponential Sea Ice Growth
2013-09-18 22:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: In a bit of strange and unprecedented good news, it was recently discovered Antarctic sea ice is growing at record rates. This is definitely odd, of course, because the air and the oceans have been getting warmer in the area. There is now more sea ice in Antarctica than there had been in the 1970s, a data point which University of Washington (UW) researcher Jinlun Zhang wanted to unpack and investigate. According to his National Science Foundation-funded research, global warming might be responsible...
