Deep Ocean Heat Storage Not Behind Global Warming Pause, Study Finds
2014-10-07 18:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: The deepest reaches of earth's oceans have not warmed significantly over the last decade, according to scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California a finding that undermines a leading theory as to why the pace of global warming has slowed over the last 15 years. Scientists have speculated that the recent slowdown in rising surface air temperatures was a result of the heat accumulating in the deep ocean. But in a paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change, the NASA researchers...

Ditch U.N. temperature target for global warming, study says
2014-10-01 19:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A temperature goal set by almost 200 governments as the limit for global warming is a poor guide to the planet's health and should be ditched, a study published in the journal Nature said on Wednesday. The world's environment ministers agreed in 2010 to cap a rise in average surface temperatures at 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times as the yardstick to avoid more floods, heat waves, droughts and rising sea levels. "Politically and scientifically, the 2 degree C goal is...

Africa adds climate change bonds to global warming arsenal
2014-09-26 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Global warming in Africa may soon move bond markets. In 2016, the first climate change bonds will be issued from Africa - unique instruments that will enable the world's poorest continent to tap both capital markets and donor funds to bolster its defenses against extreme weather events such as prolonged drought or extreme heat. The plan, unveiled on the sidelines of the U.N. climate summit in New York this week, will see an initial issue of around $200 million for up to five years. If successful,...

Global warming will turn California snow to rain, hurting water supply, federal report says
2014-09-25 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
KPCC: A first time study by the Department of the Interior predicts less snow in the California Sierras over the next century due to global warming, potentially hammering drinking water stores for the drier months. The Sacramento and San Joaquin Basins Climate Impact Assessment, released WHEN, predicts temperatures in Californias Central Valley will rise more than three degrees by the end of the century. That means some precipitation that would normally fall as snow and stick to the mountains will instead...
