Is global warming causing harsher winters?
2013-03-29 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Millions of people in northern Europe are still battling snow and ice, wondering why they are being punished with bitter cold when - officially - spring has arrived and Earth is in the grip of global warming. Yet some scientists, eyeing the fourth year in a row of exceptionally harsh late-winter weather in parts of Europe and North America, suggest warming is precisely the problem. In a complex tango between ocean and atmosphere, warming is causing icy polar air to be displaced southwards, they...

Energy subsidies 'aggravate global warming ': IMF

Brisbane Times: The International Monetary Fund has urged nations to slash their $US1.9 trillion ($1.8 trillion) in annual energy subsidies because they increase inequality, boost greenhouse gas emissions and limit investment in the renewable energy industry. While many nations use energy subsidies to shield consumers from rising prices, benefits tend to be grabbed by higher-income households. The outlays also sap funds available for bigger improvements to assist the wellbeing of the poor, such as health and...

Global warming predictions prove accurate
2013-03-27 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Forecasts of global temperature rises over the past 15 years have proved remarkably accurate, new analysis of scientists' modelling of climate change shows. The debate around the accuracy of climate modelling and forecasting has been especially intense recently, due to suggestions that forecasts have exaggerated the warming observed so far and therefore also the level warming that can be expected in the future. But the new research casts serious doubts on these claims, and should give a boost...

New Oceans Study: Global Warming Accelerated in Past 15 Years
2013-03-27 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Energy Collective: A new study of ocean warming has just been published in Geophysical Research Letters by Balmaseda, Trenberth, and Källén (2013). There are several important conclusions which can be drawn from this paper. Completely contrary to the popular contrarian myth, global warming has accelerated, with more overall global warming in the past 15 years than the prior 15 years. This is because about 90% of overall global warming goes into heating the oceans, and the oceans have been warming dramatically. ...
How global warming is making allergies worse

Fox Reno: There may be different opinions about the causes of climate change, but experts say there is no denying its existence - and the effects are nothing to sneeze at. Researchers say global warming is leading to larger plants, earlier and more robust pollination and, as a result, worsening allergies. With the combination of increased temperature and carbon dioxide, we are seeing a dramatic change, and allergy sufferers can probably feel that change, said Richard Weber, MD, an allergist at National...
