Volcanic Eruptions Help Slow Down Global Warming - Scientists
2014-02-24 09:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
International Business Times: While scientists claimed temperatures have risen since the start of the century, they were far below compared to the rise in man-made greenhouse gases. Earlier, scientists surmised the particles released to the air during volcanic eruptions would trigger temperatures worldwide to further escalate from 1998. But they noted the reverse occured. "This is a complex detective story," Benjamin Santer, lead author of the study, "Volcanic Contribution to Decadal Changes in Tropospheric Temperature"...

Volcanic eruptions contributed to global warming pause, scientists claim
2014-02-23 20:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: The impact of volcanic eruptions on global warming could provide a new explanation for the so-called pause used by sceptics to deny climate change is happening, scientists have said. According to a study in the US, models for predicting the rate at which temperatures around the world would rise from 1998 onwards did not take into consideration the measurable impact volcanoes can have. Rather than contributing to global warming, eruptions release particles into the air that reflect sunlight...

Volcanic ash triggers plankton bloom
2013-04-10 02:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: The 2010 Icelandic volcanic eruption, which disrupted European flights, also had a "significant but short-lived" impact on ocean life, a study shows. Ash from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano deposited dissolved iron into the North Atlantic, triggering a plankton bloom. The authors said it was good fortune they were at sea at the time as it provided a unique opportunity to sample the ocean during a volcanic eruption. The findings appear in the Geophysical Research Letters journal. In April...
