No More Pauses as Global Warming Slips Out of Control
2014-09-12 16:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Earthweek: The door of opportunity to control global warming is closing, according to United Nations climate chief Christiana Figueres. Her warning coincided with two independent studies that indicate the recent pause in surface warming may be the last for generations. Figueres made the comments at a conference on the effects of climate change on Pacific nations. Unless the world acts on climate change in a timely way, (Pacific islands) are going to be the hardest hit, she told Agence France-Presse....
Corporate America pays to send global warming deniers to Capitol Hill

Bill Moyers: If you wonder why so many members of Congress are in denial when it comes to climate change, follow the money. This week, Forecast the Facts and SumOfUs, two grassroots groups working to sway public opinion about global warming, took a step toward holding legislators accountable with the release of a new report exposing the companies that since 2008, according to FEC data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics, have bankrolled the Climate Denier Caucus to the tune of $641 million in campaign...

Research shows surprise global warming 'hiatus' could have been forecast
2014-09-09 05:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Australian and US researchers have shown that the slowdown in the rate of global warming in the early 2000s, known as a so-called global warming hiatus, could have been predicted if todays tools for decade-by-decade climate forecasting had been available in the 1990s. Although global temperatures remain close to record highs, they have shown little warming trend over the past 15 years, a slowdown that earlier climate models had been largely unable to predict. This has been used by climate...

Global warming key issue in update plan for protecting Long Island Sound
2014-09-08 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Courant: A new 20-year plan to protect Long Island Sound while addressing problems created by global warming and rising sea levels calls for protecting or relocating key coastal facilities like oil tanks and power stations, among other measures. The draft proposal was released Monday by the Long Island Sound Study, a coalition of local, state and federal agencies, environmental groups and business organizations. It is the study's first update since an original long-range plan to restore the health of Long...
Global warming: New NASA aerial mission explore impacts Arctic sea ice loss
2014-09-06 19:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: The ongoing loss of Arctic sea ice is probably already affecting weather and climate in the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere. Researchers aren`t exactly sure of how, but there`s been plenty of speculation, mostly focused around changes in the jet stream. Climate scientists may know a bit more in a few years after they study the results of a new NASA field campaign studying the effect of sea ice retreat on Arctic climate. The Arctic Radiation IceBridge Sea and Ice Experiment (ARISE) will...
