Warming 'pause' gives thought for scientists, sceptics
2013-09-24 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: A slowdown in warming that has provided fuel for climate sceptics is one of the thorniest issues in a report to be issued by UN experts on Friday. Over the past 15 years, the world's average surface temperature rose far slower than many climate models have predicted. According to projections, global warming should go in lockstep with the ever-rising curve of heat-trapping carbon emissions. But in recent years, warming has lagged. So, where has the missing heat gone? For climate sceptics,...

Japan: Radiocative Water Leak At Fukushima Worse Than First Thought
2013-09-01 17:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: Radiation surrounding Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant has increased 18 fold following a report last month that radioactive water had leaked into the ground around the plant, which was badly damaged in the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Tokyo Electric Power Co., which owns the Dai-Ichi Fukushima plant, reports that radiation around the site is at 1,800 millisieverts per hour, a level that Reuters says is "enough to kill an exposed person in four hours." Previously, the utility, also known...

Fukushima radiation levels 18 times higher than previously thought
2013-09-01 11:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Radiation levels 18 times higher than previously reported have been found near a water storage tank at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, prompting fresh concern over safety at the wrecked facility. The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), said radiation near the bottom of the tank measured 1,800 millisieverts an hour high enough to kill an exposed person in four hours. Tepco said water levels inside the tank had not changed, indicating there had not been a leak. But the...

East Antarctic glaciers could be much more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought.
2013-08-28 21:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: The warming, melting and potential contributions to sea level rise from glaciers in Greenland and West Antarctica in the face of climate change has long since been a serious concern. The behavior of the much larger East Antarctic ice sheet has been much more uncertain and until now has been thought to be relatively insensitive to climate change. Now an important paper in Nature from Durham University and the University of Zurich has examined a large number of satellite observations of the East...
