Polar bears will die out if global warming is not reversed, US report finds

Independent: Polar bears will be wiped out if humans don't reverse the trend of global warming, according to a blunt report by the US goverment. In a draft recovery plan for polar bears produced by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, it says: "The single most important step for polar bear conservation is decisive action to address Arctic warming." "Short of action that effectively addresses the primary cause of diminishing sea ice, it is unlikely that polar bears will be recovered." Polar bears eat, mate and...
More evidence that global warming is intensifying extreme weather
2015-07-01 15:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
John Abraham: Just this week, a new article appeared in the journal Nature that provides more evidence of a connection between extreme weather and global warming. This falls on the heels of last weeks article which made a similar connection. So, what is new with the second paper? A lot. Extreme weather can be exacerbated by global warming either because the currents of atmosphere and oceans change, or it can be exacerbated through thermodynamics (the interaction of heat, energy, moisture, etc.). Last weeks...

Hurricane Sandy and Typhoon Haiyan tied to global warming, scientists argue
2015-06-24 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: Humans are not just loading the dice in favor of extreme weather events, as many scientific studies have shown. They are also changing the characteristics and impacts of those events, be it in the form of an unprecedentedly strong and extremely deadly Typhoon Haiyan or the damaging Boulder, Colorado, floods of 2013. The way that scientists have been probing extreme events for human fingerprints is flawed, however, because it underestimates the influence that global warming is playing, argues a...

Global Warming Could Undo 50 Years Health Gains
2015-06-23 16:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: The changing climate stands to overturn nearly half a century of gains in human longevity and well-being, but aggressive action to cut carbon could save lives and be a net benefit for humanity. Thats the message in a special publication today from The Lancet, a prestigious British medical journal. The report from the Commission on Health and Climate Change lays out the health impacts of a warming world and offers policy advice on how to address medical concerns and prevent them from getting worse....

New study links global warming to Hurricane Sandy and other extreme weather events
2015-06-22 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: One of the hottest areas of climate research these days is on the potential connections between human emissions, global warming, and extreme weather. Will global warming make extreme weather more common or less common? More severe or less severe? New research, just published today in Nature Climate Change helps to answer that question by approaching the problem in a novel way. In short yes, human emissions of greenhouse gases have made certain particular weather events more severe. Lets investigate...
