Global Warming Slowdown Answer Lies in Depths of Atlantic, Study Says

2014-08-22 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Guardian: The key to the slowdown in global warming in recent years could lie in the depths of the Atlantic and Southern Oceans where excess heat is being stored not the Pacific Ocean as has previously been suggested, according to new research. But the finding suggests that a naturally occurring ocean cycle burying the heat will flip in around 15 years time, causing global temperature rises to accelerate again. The slowdown of average surface temperature rises in the last 15 years after decades of...

Global warming 'hiatus' means heat is hiding in ocean

2014-08-22 00:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Agence France-Presse: An apparent slowdown in the Earth's surface warming in the last 15 years could be due to that heat being trapped in the deep Atlantic and Southern Ocean, researchers said Thursday. The findings in the journal Science suggest that such cycles tend to last 20-35 years, and that global warming will likely pick up again once that heat returns to surface waters. "Every week there's a new explanation of the hiatus," said co-author Ka-Kit Tung, a University of Washington professor of applied mathematics...

Global warming slowdown 'could last another decade'

2014-08-21 20:46:00| 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...

Global warming hiatus could be down to changing Atlantic currents

2014-08-21 20:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Independent: The world would be an even warmer place had it not been for a change in the water currents of the North and South Atlantic which have transported huge amounts of heat from the sea surface to the deeper regions of the ocean, scientists said. A study based on temperature data collected from deep-sea probes has found that since about 2000 there has been a greater flow of sinking water taking heat from the surface of the Atlantic which has helped to counteract man-made global warming. The findings,...

Global warming 'hiatus': Scientists duel over which ocean steals some heat

2014-08-21 20:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Christian Science Monitor: The deeper researchers dig into the dramatic slowdown in global warming during the past 15 years, the more their findings point to natural climate variability as the cause rather than any purported end to human-triggered climate change. The latest example of this conclusion comes from a pair of scientists from the United States and China trying to identify where the expected heat has been hiding. They attribute the slowdown in warming, as others do, to heat taken up by the world's oceans,...
