What's causing global warming? Look for the fingerprints

Guardian: Scientists are a skeptical bunch. We never accept claims without evidence and we spend large parts of our careers trying to show that other scientist's claims are wrong. This self scrutiny is one of our best traits, and it is a major reason why science advances over time. With this said, it often surprises people that scientists are in such strong agreement about human impacts on the Earth's climate. Many studies, including research by Doran and Zimmerman, Anderegg and colleagues, and more recently...

Global warming may flatten rainforests
2013-09-12 02:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: Climate change may push canopy-dwelling plants and animals out of the tree-tops due to rising temperatures and drier conditions, argues a new study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. The development may be akin to "flattening" the tiered vegetation structure that characterizes the rainforest ecosystem. The conclusion is based on surveys of frogs and other canopy-dwelling animals in Singapore and the mountains of the Philippines. Brett Scheffers of James Cook University and colleagues...

Global Warming Could Alter the Strength of El Nio
2013-09-11 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Global warming could impact the El Nio Southern Oscillation (ENSO), researchers have found, resulting in changes in the El Nio and La Nia weather cycles known to cause drought and flooding in Australia and other Pacific-rim countries. Published in Nature Geoscience, the study uses coral samples to track the last 4,300 years of the ENSO cycle. The results suggest that El Nio events are easily influenced by external changes. "Our research has showed that while the development of La Nia and...

Global warming adds punch to bad weather
2013-09-11 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: DID global warming contribute to the punishing heat wave much of the country endured during the summer of 2012? How about Superstorm Sandy? A group of 78 scientists led by experts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) last week gave its preliminary answers, releasing a series of peer-reviewed analyses on those and other major weather events from last year. The picture the group offers is of a planet in which warming has boosted the chances, in some cases significantly, that...

Global Warming Linked to Changes in Ocean's Chemical Cycles
2013-09-09 21:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Adding to the list of environmental hazards associated with rising global temperatures is a shift in the ocean's natural chemical changes, a paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change showed. A rise in ocean temperatures -- a byproduct of rising atmospheric temperatures -- will upset the ocean's cycles of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and phosphorus, the study found. The reason, according to the researchers, has to do with the effect of water temperature on phytoplankton, the microscopic...
