'Pause' in Global Warming Blamed on Lousy Data
2014-06-14 00:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: A widely reported "pause" in global warming may be an artefact of scientists looking at the wrong data, says a climate scientist at the European Space Agency. Global average sea surface temperatures rose rapidly from the 1970s but have been relatively flat for the past 15 years. This has prompted speculation from some quarters that global warming has stalled. Now, Stephen Briggs from the European Space Agency's Directorate of Earth Observation says that sea surface temperature data is the worst...

Report shows global warming threats to Mediterranean
2014-06-13 20:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit County: Theres no reason to believe that any of the worlds oceans will be spared the effects of global warming and ocean acidification, including the Mediterranean Sea, where rapid changes threaten numerous species and entire ecosystems, according to a new report from a team of European researchers. We knew next to nothing about the combined effects of warming and acidification in the Mediterranean until this study, now we know that they are a serious double threat to our marine ecosystems, said project...

How Earth avoided global warming, last time around
2014-06-12 20:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Geochemists have calculated a huge rise in atmospheric CO2 was only avoided by the formation of a vast mountain range in the middle of the ancient supercontinent, Pangea. This work is being presented to the Goldschmidt geochemistry conference in Sacramento, California. Around 300 million years ago, plate tectonics caused the continents to aggregate into a giant supercontinent, known as "Pangea." The sheer size of the continent meant that much of the land surface was far from the sea, and so the...

Global Warming to Triple Frequency Drought, Floods Along Indian Ocean
2014-06-11 22:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: The frequency of extreme forms of a climate cycle that can cause devastating droughts and flood events from Indonesia to India to Kenya, may triple in the coming decades, according to a new study published Wednesday. The study, published in the journal Nature, ties manmade global warming to shifts in the behavior of a naturally-occurring climate cycle, known as the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). Like the Pacific Ocean, which gives rise to El Nio and La Nia events, the Indian Ocean has its own inherent...

Rising Global Warming Speeds Up Carbon Dioxide Emissions of Ocean Waters
2014-06-10 23:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Business Times: A new study released by researchers from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland has said the release of carbon dioxide emissions by the world's oceans is being heightened up by the continued rise of global warming temperatures. Scientists studied a 26,000-year-old sediment core from the Gulf of California to find out how the ocean's ability to take up atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) has changed over time. The team specifically analysed the abundance of silicon and iron concentrations of fossilised...
