Tropical Tropopause Layer: Nature Selectively Buffer Human-Caused Global Warming
2014-02-04 03:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science 2.0: Don't count nature out yet. Some aspects of climate change are natural. And some mitigation will be also, according to researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Johns Hopkins University in the US and NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center. As the globe warms, ocean temperatures rise, leading to increased water vapor escaping into the atmosphere. Water vapor is really the most important greenhouse gas and its impact on climate is amplified in the stratosphere. In their study, the researchers...

Nature Dampens Human-Caused Global Warming, Scientists Report
2014-02-03 21:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Some natural processes caused by global warming are softening the full effects of climate change, scientists report. Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, John Hopkins University and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center found evidence of a negative feedback loop for global warming in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Rising ocean temperatures have led to increased evaporation into the atmosphere. Water's high heat capacity makes water vapor one of the most influential greenhouse gases,...

Nature can, selectively, buffer human-caused global warming, say scientists
2014-02-02 21:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Can naturally occurring processes selectively buffer the full brunt of global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human activities? Yes, find researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Johns Hopkins University in the US and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. As the globe warms, ocean temperatures rise, leading to increased water vapor escaping into the atmosphere. Water vapor is the most important greenhouse gas, and its impact on climate is amplified in the...

Global warming: Northern Ireland's call to action revealed
2014-01-31 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Belfast Telegraph: Northern Ireland could face a stark future of floods, water shortages and power cuts as climate change tightens its grip. The warning comes in a new blueprint for how the province must adapt to meet the impact of climate change the region's first Climate Change Adaptation Programme. More than 60,000 properties across Northern Ireland already lie within areas at risk of flooding, meaning one in 18 properties is at risk if an extreme event does occur. By the 2050s mean winter and summer...

California drought linked global warming
2014-01-31 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: While drought conditions have eased across parts of the U.S. in recent months, conditions have worsened in the far West, and particularly in California, where water shortages will have consequences spreading far beyond the state`s borders. And the western drought has global warming fingerprints all over, according to four researchers who discussed the links between climate change and drought at a teleconference organized by Climate Nexus, a communications group focused on highlighting the wide-ranging...
