Less gloopy oceans will slow climate change
2014-03-22 04:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: Our changing climate will have an unexpected effect: it will make the oceans less thick and viscous. That is good news, as it should make the seas much better at burying atmospheric carbon out of harm's way on the seabed. The effect is big enough to reduce the temperature rise by 8 per cent, says Jan Taucher of the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research at Kiel, Germany, who claims to be the first to model the change in stickiness. Much of the carbon dioxide we pour into the atmosphere dissolves into...

Newest Climate Change Victim: Fish Are Being Stunted by Warmer Oceans
2014-03-12 20:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
TakePart: Warming oceans arent just shifting the migration patterns of some of our favorite fish; scientists say climate change may be stunting fish sizes too. Widely consumed North Sea species, including haddock, whiting, herring, and others, have shrunk in size by as much as 29 percent over nearly 40 years, as water temperatures have increased between one and two degrees Celsius, researchers from the University of Aberdeen in Aberdeen, Scotland, revealed in a study published in the April issue of Global...

Planet, Oceans Burning Up: There is no "Pause" in Global Warming
2014-02-13 11:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Informed Comment: Climate change has not hit a "speed bump." The planet's temperature is not remaining steady and it certainly isn't cooling. Earth, especially its ocean, are heating up... and rapidly. Those are the findings and the consensus of the global scientific community. And a new study shows that the detectable slowdown of global surface temperature increases over the last fifteen years--a trend that climate change denialists have seized on to foment doubt among the general public--is, in fact, the result...

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...

Acidic oceans eating away at skeletons in Pacific, researchers say
2014-01-15 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
US News and World Report: Researchers studied how algae in the Pacific Ocean off Tatoosh Island in Washington state were being affected by global warming. No bones about it: As oceans have grown more acidic from global warming over the past decade, they've been eating away at the skeletons grown by a certain strain of alga -- likely demonstrating how climate change affects organisms and biodiversity, a new study says. Researchers working at Tatoosh Island in the Pacific Ocean off Washington state found that the alga...
