Global warming 'pause' theory dead but still twitching
2015-09-17 21:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: A study released Thursday is the second this year seeking to debunk a 1998-2013 "pause" in global warming, but other climate scientists insist the slowdown was real, even if not a game-changer. When evidence of the apparent hiatus first emerged, it was seized upon by sceptics as evidence that climate change was driven more by natural cycles that humans pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. "Our results clearly show that ... there never was a hiatus, a pause or a slowdown," Noah Diffenbaugh,...

Exxon's own research confirmed fossil fuels' role in global warming decades ago

InsideClimate: At a meeting in Exxon Corporation's headquarters, a senior company scientist named James F. Black addressed an audience of powerful oilmen. Speaking without a text as he flipped through detailed slides, Black delivered a sobering message: carbon dioxide from the world's use of fossil fuels would warm the planet and could eventually endanger humanity. "In the first place, there is general scientific agreement that the most likely manner in which mankind is influencing the global climate is through...

Emaciated polar bear pictures raise global warming concerns
2015-09-15 01:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: Photographs of emaciated polar bears have gone viral on social media, and raised concerns over the effects of global warming. One, taken by National Geographic photographer Paul Nicklen, shows a dead polar bear lying on a pile of rocks in the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. Mr Nicklen is trained as a biologist and has worked in the Arctic for decades. He says that on a trip to Svalbard last summer he was unable to locate any live bears, but did find two that appeared to have starved to death....

Global warming hiatus could be coming to an end: UKs Met Office
2015-09-14 01:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Record temperatures and changes to climate patterns in the worlds oceans are among signs that a global warming pause is coming to an end, Britains Met Office said in a report on Monday. The report comes just over two months before negotiators from almost 200 countries meet in Paris to thrash out a U.N. deal to curb global climate change. In 2013, a United Nations report on climate science made an observation that temperatures had increased at a slower rate in the years since 1998 than the...
Global Warming Has Worsened California Drought By Roughly 25 Percent, Study Says

Yale Environment 360: Rising temperatures driven by climate change have measurably worsened the California drought by increasing evaporation rates and exacerbating the state's lack of rainfall by up to 27 percent, according to a study from Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. While natural weather variations are largely thought to have caused the state's precipitation deficit, rising temperatures appear to be intensifying the situation by driving moisture from plants and soil into the air. The new study...
