Global warming pause due to trade winds in the Pacific
2014-02-10 12:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: A new study has revealed that a slowdown in global warming was caused by unusual Pacific trade winds that trapped heat underwater. However, it says that once the phenomenon stops, the warming will accelerate. The study, Recent intensification of wind-driven circulation in the Pacific and the ongoing warming hiatus, which was published in Nature, suggests that a slower rate of global warming since 2001 is due to strengthening Pacific trade winds over the past two decades. These helped keep the...

Unprecedented trade wind strength is shifting global warming to the oceans, but for how much longer?
2014-02-10 07:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Research looking at the effects of Pacific Ocean cycles has been gradually piecing together the puzzle explaining why the rise of global surface temperatures has slowed over the past 10 to 15 years. A new study just published in Nature Climate Change, led by Matthew England at the University of New South Wales, adds yet another piece to the puzzle by examining the influence of Pacific trade winds. While the rate of surface temperature warming has slowed in recent years, several studies have shown...

Stronger Pacific trade winds linked to stable air temperatures
2014-02-09 22:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: An Australian-led research team claims to have solved one of the biggest puzzles in climate science -- why air temperatures have largely plateaued since 2001 even as greenhouse gas levels have continued to climb. While most scientists have long accepted that the Earth continues to trap extra heat with the bulk of it ending up in the oceans, they have been uncertain about the precise process slowing the rise in atmospheric temperatures and whether it will persist. The answer, says Matthew England...

Global warming 'pause' due to unusual trade winds in Pacific ocean, study finds
2014-02-09 19:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The contentious "pause" in global warming over the past decade is largely due to unusually strong trade winds in the Pacific ocean that have buried surface heat deep underwater, new research has found. A joint Australian and US study analysed why the rise in the Earth's global average surface temperature has slowed since 2001, after rapidly increasing from the 1970s. The research shows that sharply accelerating trade winds in central and eastern areas of the Pacific have driven warm surface...
