Study: Stronger Pacific winds explain global warming hiatus

Reuters: Stronger winds which have cooled the surface of the Pacific Ocean could explain what is likely to be a temporary slowdown in the pace of global warming this century, researchers said. Last year, scientists on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said the pace of temperature rise at the Earth's surface had slowed over the past 15 years, even though greenhouse gas emissions, widely blamed for causing climate change, have risen steadily. Past research has linked the slowdown in the...

Global warming 'pause' due to unusual trade winds in Pacific ocean, study finds
2014-02-09 19:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The contentious "pause" in global warming over the past decade is largely due to unusually strong trade winds in the Pacific ocean that have buried surface heat deep underwater, new research has found. A joint Australian and US study analysed why the rise in the Earth's global average surface temperature has slowed since 2001, after rapidly increasing from the 1970s. The research shows that sharply accelerating trade winds in central and eastern areas of the Pacific have driven warm surface...

Global Warming Speed Bump? The Answer May Be Blowing in the Wind!
2014-02-09 18:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Huffington Post: An interesting new paper by Matthew England and colleagues just published in the journal Nature Climate Change tosses another hat in the ring when it comes to the so-called "hiatus" or "pause" (I prefer "speed bump") in global warming. As I have discussed previously, the fact that global surface temperatures have not increased as much over the past decade as many climate models predict they should have, doesn't necessarily contradict the model predictions at all. In reality, the speed bump may simply...
Obama Fights Global Warming, One Hot Spot at a Time

Fiscal Times: With another massive drought in California as the backdrop, the Obama administration this week announced the creation of seven regional climate hubs to assist farmers and rural communities prepare for severe water shortages, invasive pests, floods and other disasters associated with climate change. The hubs will serve a broad swath of the countrys rural regions including Iowa, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Colorado, Oklahoma, Oregon and New Mexico. While relatively modest in scope and...
