Global Warming Crushes Records. Again
2016-02-18 19:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Here we go again. For the surface of planet Earth, 2015 was the hottest year on record by a stunning margin. But already, 2016 is on track to beat it. Last month was the hottest January in 137 years of record keeping, according to data released Wednesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It's the ninth consecutive month to set a new record. To be sure, some of the recent extremes are the result of a monster El Nio weather pattern that still lingers in the Pacific Ocean....

Global warming policies we set today determine the next 10,000 years
2016-02-09 01:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: The decisions made in the next couple of decades about reducing greenhouse gas emissions will determine the severity of global warming -- including potentially catastrophic sea level rise -- for the next 10,000 years, according to a new study. The study, published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change, examines the "deep time" implications of emissions of global warming pollutants such as carbon dioxide. The study vividly demonstrates how the lag effects that are inherent in the climate...
Calif Drought: Global Warming Is Making Longer Droughts A Normality

Inquisitr: California and the rest of the Southwest have been experiencing droughts since the nation`s existence. The main difference today is that these droughts occur more frequently, last longer and wet days are scarce. The new dry weather pattern is thought by scientists to be directly related to global warming, and it is only expected to get worse. Researchers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research have conducted a study which assessed weather patterns in the Southwest from the 1970s to today....

United Kingdom: Global warming will unleash increasingly devastating floods in coming years, scientists warn
2016-02-02 11:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: Climate change made the severe storms which flooded the Somerset Levels in 2014 much more likely, according to new research that suggests global warming will unleash increasingly devastating floods in coming years. The report finds that man-made greenhouse gas emissions have increased the chance of extreme flooding by 43 per cent, as the warming climate holds larger quantities of moisture, which leads to heavier rainfall. What was once a 1 in 100-year event in a world without climate change is...

How attitudes about global warming compare to actual warming of the globe
2016-01-21 11:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: The bars in red on the graph below are the 20 hottest years on human record. There were hotter years, like when the Earth was still mostly molten rock. But since mankind has had the capability to actually measure temperatures around the world, the 20 bars below indicate the hottest years we've seen. (Those temperatures are in Celsius and are relative to the average land and sea temperature over the course of the 20th century.) You may notice a pattern. Of those 20 years, 15 have been since...
