Global warming is causing more extreme storms
2015-02-09 15:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Scientists have known for decades (more than a century actually) that increases in greenhouse gases will cause the Earth to warm. What is less clear is how this warming will impact the weather we experience on a daily, monthly, or yearly basis. Recent research shows that we are already feeling the changes. So, how might a warm planet be different from the planet we inherited? Increased temperatures can cause more heat waves, more droughts, more intense rainfall, higher water-vapor levels, sea-level...

A 23-year experiment finds surprising global warming impacts underway
2015-02-09 15:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: A new paper published in Global Change Biology summarizes the results of a 23-year experiment monitoring how global warming is impacting certain ecosystems. At the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, the scientists have monitored ten 30-square meter plots of meadowland since 1989. Above five of those plots, overhead infrared radiators have been on constantly since January 1991, while the other five were used as the controls for comparison. The study reports, The microclimatic effect of experimental...

Paris climate summit: missing global warming target 'would not be failure'
2015-02-04 17:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The European Union climate chief says talks at a major climate summit in Paris this year will not be a failure even if governments fail to keep warming below the dangerous 2C threshold. The comments, downgrading expectations for a strong outcome at Paris, suggest that the architects of a global climate deal are already resigned to the prospect that governments will fail to aim high enough when setting out their targets for cutting greenhouse gas emission in the coming months. 2C is an objective,...

Global Warming Trend to Continue After 2014 Marked Hottest Year Record
2015-02-02 13:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sputnik: Last year, the hottest since records began, has kept the heat on growing concerns over climate change, and scientists now predict that global temperatures will continue to rise, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said in a statement Monday. "We expect global warming to continue, given that rising levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the increasing heat content of the oceans are committing us to a warmer future,' WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud, was quoted as saying in...

USGS report shows how global warming will shift Pacific wind and wave patterns
2015-01-31 20:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: Scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey have developed climate models that help show how global warming will change wind and wave patterns, potentially affecting island communities, especially as sea level rises. The new USGS report looked at U.S. and U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands, including Hawaii, where climate change is expected to alter the highest waves and strongest winds. The detailed data should help communities develop coastal resilience plans and ecosystem restoration efforts, and...
