Global Warming Fight Advances With First Steps on Treaty
2013-11-23 17:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Diplomats from almost 190 nations endorsed a set of measures on global warming, laying the groundwork for a treaty to be adopted in 2015 that would limit pollution by all nations for the first time. The delegates at a United Nations conference called on those who are ready to make pledges on emissions by the first quarter of 2015. They authorized work on a loss and damage mechanism that would help the poorest cope with the impact of climate change, took in $100 million in aid pledges to fund...

Global Warming Envoys Set to Chart Path to Pollution Cuts
2013-11-22 09:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Envoys from 190 nations are close to agreeing upon the first building blocks for the next treaty aimed at fighting global warming, sketching the way to worldwide cuts in fossil-fuel emissions. The delegates, due to finish talks today in Warsaw, will make progress on a loss and damage mechanism to assist those coping with storms, floods and erosion caused by rising seas and higher temperatures, said Christiana Figueres, the United Nations diplomat organizing the meeting. Progress depends on...
Global warming causes 'acid indigestion' for sea urchins
2013-11-20 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Spiny green sea urchins face a new challenge from climate change: As the oceans become more acidic, urchin larvae struggle to digest their food, new research finds. The study is the first to prove that ocean acidification can cause digestive problems for marine animals, though scientists have long been alarmed at the trend for other reasons. Ocean acidification has threatened oyster farms, slowed coral growth and caused common marine snails to shrink, among other effects. Earlier studies have...
Global warming pragmatism

Washington Post: Economist Robert Pindyck of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology recently examined the computer models that estimate the effects and costs of climate change -- and he didn't like what he found. The models reflect two gaping uncertainties, he says. First, we don't know how much increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) will raise global temperatures. "There are feedback loops' -- interactions between greenhouse gases and weather -- "that aren't easy to measure.' The models make assumptions....

Global warming might not be on hiatus, after all
2013-11-14 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
HNGN: Many researchers believe global warming has slowed to a halt; but the heat may have just been hiding. Climate data only covers about 84 percent of the planet because many Polar regions and areas of Africa are largely undocumented, a University of York news release reported. Researchers decided to reconstruct the missing temperatures using satellites and data from weather stations and ships. The team predicted that global warming in the Arctics is happening eight times faster than anywhere...
