Global warming slows but beware complacency

Reuters: The latest forecasts from a foremost climate research institute that global warming has slowed present a new challenge to policymakers on how to inject urgency into the campaign to cut emissions of greenhouse gases. Climate change is a growing problem. Each year in the past decade has been hotter than the 1981-2010 average, and extreme heat waves are becoming more frequent. But the research indicates the rate of warming has slowed in the past decade and a half due to temporary natural factors....

United Kingdom: Met Office: global warming predictions revised down
2013-01-09 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
4 News: The Met Office announces the world is not going to warm up as much as previously thought. Surprising news, as last week it said UK rainfall could keep breaking records because of global warming. The analysis suggests that by 2017 there will be 20 per cent less warming than predicted by Met Office forecasters in 2011. Those critical of the idea of man-made global warming have seized upon the announcement. To them, it reveals a problem with the fact that the Met Office and journalists continue to...

Has global warming ground to a halt?

New Scientist: The UK's Met Office has downgraded its forecast for warming at the Earth's surface over the next five years. Headlines this week announced that global warming is "at a standstill". Climate sceptics crowed. But the Met Office said the outlook for later in the century remains unchanged. New Scientist looks at the facts Has global warming stopped, or hasn't it? Atmospheric warming has certainly slowed greatly in the past decade. The Met Office says this appears to be due to natural cycles that...

Global warming beneficial to ratsnakes
2013-01-08 21:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Speculation about how animals will respond to climate change due to global warming led University of Illinois researcher Patrick Weatherhead and his students to conduct a study of ratsnakes at three different latitudes -- Ontario, Illinois, and Texas. His findings suggest that ratsnakes will be able to adapt to the higher temperatures by becoming more active at night. "Ratsnakes are a species with a broad geographic range so we could use latitude as a surrogate for climate change," Weatherhead...

Scientists Link Global Warming to Englands Rainiest Year on Record
2013-01-07 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EurActiv: Senior climate scientists are linking global warming to the UK Met Office's announcement yesterday (3 January) that 2012 was Englands rainiest year since records began. The weather service's numbers showed that due to slightly more seasonal figures in Wales and Scotland, the UK as a whole experienced its second wettest summer recorded. But four of the UKs Top Five wettest years have now occurred since 2000, a statistic in line with the expectations of climatologists who model the effects of...
