2016-03-14 11:42:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: February 2016 broke global temperature records, according to data released by NASA on Saturday. Global surface temperatures were 1.35C above the 1951-1980 global average for the month, a development described by experts as "an ominous milestone towards a warmer planet." "Perhaps even more remarkable is that February 2016 crushed the previous February record -- set in 1998 during the peak atmospheric influence of the 1997-98 super El Nino that`s comparable in strength to the current one -- by...

Economic Times: Villages on the city's periphery fall short of even basic facilities to cook a meal. Bengaluru-based restaurateur Siddarth Goenka, an alum of Bishop Cotton Boys' School, hopes to correct just that. The 30-year-old who studied in Birmingham and worked with JM Morgan Stanley believes non-renewable energy such as LPG is neither viable nor sustainable. Having seen the hinterlands while extending his family's dairy business in Rajasthan in 2010, Goenka started the Pragathishali Rural Development Charitable...

Newswise: On a cool, fog-shrouded mountain of Costa Rica, University of California, Irvine biologist Caitlin Looby is finding that warming temperatures are becoming an increasing problem for one of the most ecologically diverse places on Earth. Seeking to determine how shifts in the tropical mountain cloud forest ecosystem would affect resident fungal species in Monteverde, Looby and fellow ecology & evolutionary biology graduate student Mia Maltz and their adviser, Kathleen Treseder, found that as the moist...

Global warming reducing phytoplanktons in western Indian Ocean
2016-03-06 10:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nerve: " We find that these trends in chlorophyll are driven by enhanced ocean stratification due to rapid warming in the Indian Ocean, which suppresses nutrient mixing from subsurface layers. Future climate projections suggest that the Indian Ocean will continue to warm, driving this productive region into an ecological desert, the study says." Panaji, March 6 - Rapidly decreasing presence of marine phytoplankton, a micro-algae consumed by small fish and responsible for reducing carbon dioxide in sea water,...

Did global warming really slow down? Have a large injection of nuance and a side-order of abuse
2016-03-03 04:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Did global warming really slow down for a decade or so in the 2000s and does it really matter if it did? New analysis written by a group of well regarded climate scientists appeared in a journal a couple of weeks ago, arguing that global warming did slowdown. Those first two sentences are about as straightforward as this post gets. So I suggest that you either get out now while you can or you buckle in. Thats because for us to understand this issue properly, we need more context than you could...
