Global Warming and Potential Water Contamination Resulting from Fracking for Hydrocarbons: A Relationship?
2014-02-24 01:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EP Online: Contaminated water, presumed to be from drilling into and fracturing (fracking) hydrocarbon-bearing rock strata, has been in the news for some time now. And so have global warming and air pollution issues associated with transporting and burning fossil fuels. Are these headliners connected? Of course. Before I delve into the issues, be it known that we all use fossil fuels. I don't know of any exception. Here's the basic scenario: find the fossil fuel sources, recover them, and then process, distribute,...

Global warming wont cut winter deaths, U.K. study says
2014-02-24 00:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: "Positive effects will include modest improvements in cold-related mortality and morbidity in some areas due to fewer cold extremes, shifts in food production and reduced capacity of disease-carrying vectors." However, a report in the journal Nature Climate Change on the situation in England and Wales said climate warming would likely not decrease winter mortality in those places. It suggested more volatile winters, with swings from cold to mild linked to rising greenhouse gas emissions, might...
Volcanic eruptions contributed to global warming pause, scientists claim
2014-02-23 20:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: The impact of volcanic eruptions on global warming could provide a new explanation for the so-called pause used by sceptics to deny climate change is happening, scientists have said. According to a study in the US, models for predicting the rate at which temperatures around the world would rise from 1998 onwards did not take into consideration the measurable impact volcanoes can have. Rather than contributing to global warming, eruptions release particles into the air that reflect sunlight...

Sun-dimming volcanoes partly explain global warming hiatus - study
2014-02-23 11:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Small volcanic eruptions help explain a hiatus in global warming this century by dimming sunlight and offsetting a rise in emissions of heat-trapping gases to record highs, a study showed on Sunday. Eruptions of at least 17 volcanoes since 2000, including Nabro in Eritrea, Kasatochi in Alaska and Merapi in Indonesia, ejected sulphur whose sun-blocking effect had been largely ignored until now by climate scientists, it said. The pace of rising world surface temperatures has slowed since an exceptionally...

Ending Geoengineering Prematurely Worsen Global Warming
2014-02-19 19:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Starting and then stopping geoengineering techniques could aggravate global warming, scientists warn. A proposed mitigation technique which involves spewing sulfur particles into the atmosphere could help combat climate change but if stopped after being implemented, it could worsen the problem, according to a new study from University of Washington researchers. Spewing sulfur particles into the air could cool the planet by reflecting sunlight back into space a technique called solar radiation...
