NOAA: The nations 28 National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERR) are experiencing the negative effects of human and climate-related stressors according to a new NOAA research report from the National Ocean Service. The national study, Climate Sensitivity of the National Estuarine Research Reserve System, points to three East Coast reserves, Sapelo Island NERR in Georgia, ACE Basin NERR in South Carolina and Waquoit Bay NERR in Massachusetts, and the Tijuana River NERR on the California-Mexico border,...

Global climate report for 2012 full of warning signs
2013-08-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: Some of the most compelling signs of global warming impacts continued to come from the Arctic in 2012, where sea ice extent reached a record low and Greenland experienced record surface melting last summer. Another worrying sign is the warming in permafrost regions, where significant thawing could release a new surge of heat-trapping greenhouse gases that would intensify warming. The average global temperature for the year was among the top-10 warmest on record, and other climate observations also...

Climate change in 2012: record sea-level rise, Arctic melting, warmed oceans, report says
2013-08-06 23:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: A new massive U.S. study says the world in 2012 sweltered with continued signs of climate change. Rising sea levels, snow melt, heat buildup in the oceans, and melting Arctic sea ice and Greenland ice sheets, all broke or nearly broke records, but temperatures only sneaked into the top 10. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Tuesday issued a peer-reviewed 260-page report, which agency chief Kathryn Sullivan calls its annual "checking on the pulse of the planet." The report,...

Leaked Climate Change Authority report calls on Australia to triple 2020 carbon emissions cuts target
2013-08-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ABC: One of the Government's key advisory bodies on climate change says Australia should triple its 2020 target for cutting carbon emissions. A leaked report to the Government from the independent Climate Change Authority says Australia should aim to cut emissions by 15 per cent of 2000 levels by 2020. That is up from the 5 per cent figure agreed to as a target by both sides of politics. The report says the cuts should ramp up to 40 per cent cut by 2030, and 90 per cent by 2050. The Gillard government...
