Study: Global warming could help Arctic shipping
2013-03-05 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
USA Today: A study suggests that global warming is opening up a first-time chance to cruise through the Northwest Passage, which could translate into big savings in time and money for shippers. Who said global warming is all bad? There will certainly be many more negative effects than positive ones from climate change. But shipping routes across the Arctic Ocean which have been ice-covered and impassable since humans invented ships millenniums ago could be open to ships for the first time by midcentury,...

A global warming skeptic has a change of heart

Tribune: I was a global warming skeptic. I questioned the validity of the studies purporting to be factual. You see, since the 1970s seawater temperatures along the coastline of San Luis Obispo County weren't changing to any great extent. If anything, they've been slowly trending downward. What caused this condition if the oceans were supposedly warming? After careful review of the wind data from the Diablo Canyon meteorological tower, I discovered that the northwesterly winds during the spring and summer...
Volcanic eruptions offset small part of greenhouse gas-driven global warming: Study
2013-03-02 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit County: A series of small to mid-sized volcanic eruptions the past 10 years were the main factor in the formation of stratospheric sulfuric acid that reflected the sun`s energy and partially offset the effects of heat-trapping greenhouse gases. "This new study indicates it is emissions from small to moderate volcanoes that have been slowing the warming of the planet," said Ryan Neely, a researcher at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Science and doctoral student at CU Boulder. Neely...
World cools on global warming as green fatigue sets in

Independent: Public concern about environmental issues including climate change has slumped to a 20-year low since the financial crisis, a global study reveals. Fewer people now consider issues such as CO2 emissions, air and water pollution, animal species loss, and water shortages to be very serious than at any time in the last two decades, according to the poll of 22,812 people in 22 countries including Britain and the US. Despite years of studies showing the impact of global warming on the planet,...
Global warming and airflow changes 'caused US and EU heatwaves'

Reuters: Global warming may have caused extreme events such as a 2011 drought in the United States and a 2003 heatwave in Europe by slowing vast, wave-like weather flows in the northern hemisphere, scientists said on Tuesday. The study of meandering air systems that encircle the planet adds to understanding of extremes that have killed thousands of people and driven up food prices in the past decade. Such planetary airflows, which suck warm air from the tropics when they swing north and draw cold air...
