Underestimating global warming: gaps in Arctic temperature data lead scientists and public astray
2014-01-15 17:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: pen question due to large gaps in temperature data across the vast region. Now, a recent study in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society finds that not only is the Arctic warming eight times faster than the rest of the planet, but failure to account for temperature gaps has led global datasets to underestimate the rise of temperatures worldwide. Recently, some scientists have noted that the pace of global warming appears to have slowed-while many climate change deniers and media...
Can global warming be real if its cold in the U.S.? Um yes!

Washington Post: It's quite cold across much of the United States right now, thanks to the dread "polar vortex." Bitterly cold. Horrifically cold! So what does this tell us about global warming? Not much. Sorry. A cold snap in the U.S. can't disprove global warming any more than you can get rid of a fever by sticking your hand in ice water. (Similarly, the record heat hitting Australia right now doesn't, on its own, prove all that much.) But since a lot of people -- like Donald Trump -- seem confused on this point,...
The global warming Hot List for 2014

Daily Climate: Last year was one for trend-setters and trend-buckers in climate news. Tracking the year through the Daily Climate archives, it's easy to spot 2013's winners and losers climate change's version of nerds and prom kings, arena acts and wedding singers. These are the people and issues who will and will not be driving the news in 2014. This is not peer-reviewed. Hot: Government anti-science Did you hear the one about the Polish government hosting a pro-coal conference and a climate change...
Global warming could upset Antarctic foodchain

Mongabay: Resting near the bottom of the food chain, Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) underpin much of the Southern Ocean's ecosystem. But in a rapidly warming world, these hugely-abundant crustaceans could see their habitat shrink considerably. In a recent paper in PLOS ONE, scientists predict that Antarctic krill could lose 20 percent of their growth habitat, or 1.2 million square kilometers. "Antarctic krill are an important food species for many animals including year-round Southern Ocean residents...

Revealed: How global warming is changing Scotland's marine life
2013-12-29 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Herald: Global warming could cut commercial fish catches around Scotland by 20% while they increase by 10% around the south of England, according to a new study by more than 150 Government and university scientists. Gradually rising temperatures caused by climate pollution could drive porpoises, whales and dolphins away from Scotland's shores. The sea will also become increasingly acidic, which could harm some marine wildlife, the study says. The Marine Climate Change Impacts Partnership has released its...
