Global warming, Arctic ice loss, and armchair scientists
2013-08-12 08:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: As humans put more and more heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere, the Earth's climate changes; we all know that. Some of the trickier questions are, how fast is it changing, what can we expect in the future, what are the costs of slowing emissions (compared to the costs of doing nothing), and what changes are we already observing that give us such confidence in our predictions? Perhaps the poster child of climate change is in the Arctic, where sea ice has been declining at an astonishing rate....
Slight Global Warming May Come From Ozone Winds
2013-08-09 16:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
redOrbit: Laypeople tend to mix up the ozone hole and global warming. The popular belief is that the hole is a major cause of the worlds increasing average temperature. On the other hand, scientists have long attributed the ozone shortage in the hole to a small cooling trend. A new computer model study, led by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, suggests that there might be a slight warming influence from the ozone hole. The influence is due to the holes effect on winds, however, not temperatures. The...

Global warming leads to darker ice leads to more global warming
2013-08-05 22:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: Like a towheaded baby whose golden curls inevitably turn mousy brown at exactly the same age he or she starts giving a crap about hair color, our planet is going darker on top as it ages. Thats bad news for a couple of reasons first, because its happening as a result of global warming, and second, because it will make global warming worse. Scientists analyzed 30 years of data and discovered that the Arctic is losing some of its reflectivity i.e., its getting darker. Thats because of thinning...

Global warming is changing marine species, Plymouth scientists find
2013-08-05 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Herald: GLOBAL warming is causing a "widespread shift" in the behaviour of marine species in the world`s oceans, according to new research by a city team. Scientists at Plymouth University were involved in putting together a report, entitled Global Imprint of Climate Change on Marine Life, which found that warming oceans are causing marine species to change breeding times and move quicker than expected. The findings could have "substantial consequences" for the broader marine landscape, and will form...

Global warming will impact the power grid
2013-08-04 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Tribune: The power distribution grid is a remarkable machine that regulates and transports vast amounts of electrical energy that we use in our homes and businesses. It's there out in the open for all of us to see; in fact, it's so wide open, most of us don't even notice the lines and poles any longer. It's only during a power outage when you actually think about it. Unfortunately, a new report released by the Department of Energy in July, says that our electrical grid will be impacted due to the effects...
