Guardian: Global warming is changing the way the US trains for and goes to war affecting war games, weapons systems, training exercises, and military installations according to the Pentagon. The defence secretary, Chuck Hagel, will tell a high-level meeting of military leaders on Monday that the Pentagon is undertaking sweeping changes to operation systems and installations to keep up with a growing threat of rising seas, droughts, and natural disasters caused by climate change. A changing climate...
Pentagon Unveils Strategy for Adapting Global Warming Threats
2014-10-13 22:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: The Defense Department sees global warming as a challenge that "poses immediate risks" to national security, rather than one that will rear its head only in the future. This shift in thinking comes as the sprawling department puts in place a wide range of measures to ensure that its bases do not sink below the sea as the oceans rise, that its weapons systems still work in a variety of extreme weather conditions, and that it is prepared to deal with increased demands for humanitarian assistance...

Antarctic sea ice expands to record levels: Should global warming be blamed? Yes and No
2014-10-09 22:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Tech Times: The melting of the world's ice is often blamed on global warming. The Antarctic sea ice, however, poses a conundrum because it has been expanding to record levels. On Sept. 20, the sea ice extent in the Antarctic has reached 7.78 million square miles breaking the record it has set in 2013 but while it may appear that this record discredits claims of global warming, scientists said that climate change still has something to do with the phenomenon. Researchers from the National Aeronautics and...
Hotter Oceans Explain Global Warming 'Pause'

Truthdig: One of the most hotly-argued questions in climate research -- whether global warming has slowed or even stopped -- appears to have been definitively answered. And the scientists` conclusion is unambiguous: the Earth continues to warm at a dangerous pace. All that`s happening, they say, is that the extra heat being produced -- mainly by the burning of fossil fuels -- is concentrating not in the skies but in the seas. They have found new evidence that backs them up. Instead of driving up the...

How Reduce Global Warming for Fun and Profit
2014-10-07 22:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: It's easy to get depressed about climate change. We've made so little progress in reducing carbon-dioxide emissions that our previous goal - to limit the rise in global temperature to 2 degrees Celsius - is almost laughable. (See: "UN Climate Report Questions Global Willpower") But what if companies could make money from carbon dioxide, the heat-trapping gas that's the main contributor to global warming? We're not actually so far off from turning emissions into commodities, it turns out. In...
