Global warming pause 'may last for another decade' scientists suggest

Telegraph: The "pause' in global warming may last another decade before surface temperatures start rising again, according to scientists who say heat is being stored in the depths of the Atlantic and Southern Oceans. Global average surface temperatures rose rapidly from the 1970s but have been relatively stable since the late 1990s, in a trend that has been seized upon by climate sceptics who question the science of man-made warming. Climate change scientists have proposed more than a dozen theories to...

Global warming hiatus part of a natural cycle

Science 2.0: Though the end of the 20th century looked like we were going to see runaway temperatures around the globe, that hasn't really happened despite countries like China and Russia and Mexico and India continuing to belch CO2 into the atmosphere. More than a dozen hypotheses have been proposed for the so-called global warming hiatus, ranging from air pollution to volcanoes to sunspots and now the University of Washington has entered the fray, saying that the heat absent from the surface is plunging...

Why is global warming taking a break?
2014-08-22 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Daily Mail: A controversial pause in global warming may be due to heat vanishing into the depths of the Atlantic and Southern Oceans. But surface temperatures will start rising again in a decade, according to scientists in the US. The massive movement of heat is thought to explain why the rapid rate of climate change that marked the end of the 20th century has ground almost to a halt. A pause in global warming may be due to heat vanishing in the ocean. The top image shows global average surface temperatures,...

Global warming slowdown 'could last another decad.'
2014-08-22 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: The hiatus in the rise in global temperatures could last for another 10 years, according to new research. Scientists have struggled to explain the so-called pause that began in 1999, despite ever increasing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. The latest theory says that a naturally occurring 30-year cycle in the Atlantic Ocean is behind the slowdown. The researchers says this slow-moving current could continue to divert heat into the deep seas for another decade. However, they caution that...

Key to global warming slowdown held deep in Atlantic sea, says report

Blue and Green: The Atlantic and Southern oceans have been found to be storing excess heat in their depths, lowering global temperatures and confusing researchers who believed the Pacific Ocean was responsible for lowering temperatures. The findings, published earlier this week in the journal Science, have also discovered a varying planetary heat sink, which both slows down global warming and will cause it to accelerate in 15 years. Ka-Kit Tung, author of the paper and University of Washington professor,...
