Study dismisses 'hiatus' in global warming, says temperatures up
2015-06-04 19:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: An apparent slowdown in the pace of global warming in recent years may be an illusion based on skewed data, according to a study on Thursday that found no break in a trend of rising temperatures. In 2013, the U.N. panel of climate experts reported a "hiatus" in warming since about 1998, despite rising man-made emissions of greenhouse gases. That heartened skeptics who say the risks of climate change have been exaggerated. The new U.S. study in the journal Science, based on a re-analysis of...
Indian Ocean may be key to global warming 'hiatus'
2015-05-19 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature: The Indian Ocean may be the dark horse in the quest to explain the puzzling pause in global warming, researchers report on 18 May in Nature Geoscience1. The study finds that the Indian Ocean may hold more than 70% of all heat absorbed by the upper ocean in the past decade. Scientists have long suspected that oceans have played a crucial role in the so-called warming hiatus by storing heat trapped in the atmosphere by rising levels of greenhouse gases. But pinpointing exactly which ocean acts as...
A strong El Nio may quell debate about a warming 'hiatus'

Sydney Morning Herald: Roughly a year ago, scientists poring over temperature readings of the Pacific from satellites and a depleted array of ocean buoys were so sure an El Nino was on the way, the debate was mostly how strong it would be. The event, though, failed to materialise largely because the winds failed to reverse their normal course and blow to the east. Without the reinforcement, the relative warmth of the eastern Pacific compared with the west broke up, and an El Nino did not occur. That false start is...

Lack of ocean heat puzzles NASA hunt for warming 'hiatus'
2014-10-06 22:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: The deep ocean may not be hiding heat after all, raising new questions about why global warming appears to have slowed in recent years, said the US space agency Monday. Scientists have noticed that while greenhouse gases have continued to mount in the first part of the 21st century, global average surface air temperatures have stopped rising along with them, said NASA. Some studies have suggested that heat is being absorbed temporarily by the deep seas, and that this so-called global warming...
