Study questions whether global warming hiatus is for real

CBC: The number of extremely hot days has been increasing steadily globally despite a "pause" in the rise of average surface temperatures over the past 15 years, a new study has found. "This analysis shows that not only is there no pause in the evolution of the warmest daily extremes over land but that they have continued unabated over the observational record," said the paper published Wednesday in Nature Climate Change. "Furthermore, the available evidence suggests that the most 'extreme' extremes...

Heat extremes increase despite global warming hiatus: scientists
2014-02-26 09:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Hot weather extremes have increased around the world in the past 15 years despite a slowdown in the overall pace of global warming, a study showed on Wednesday. Heat extremes are among the damaging impacts of climate change as they can raise death rates, especially among the elderly, damage food crops and strain everything from water to energy supplies. "Observational data show a continued increase of hot extremes over land during the so-called global warming hiatus," scientists in Switzerland,...

Sun-dimming volcanoes partly explain global warming hiatus - study
2014-02-23 11:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Small volcanic eruptions help explain a hiatus in global warming this century by dimming sunlight and offsetting a rise in emissions of heat-trapping gases to record highs, a study showed on Sunday. Eruptions of at least 17 volcanoes since 2000, including Nabro in Eritrea, Kasatochi in Alaska and Merapi in Indonesia, ejected sulphur whose sun-blocking effect had been largely ignored until now by climate scientists, it said. The pace of rising world surface temperatures has slowed since an exceptionally...

Study: Stronger Pacific winds explain global warming hiatus
2014-02-09 19:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Stronger winds which have cooled the surface of the Pacific Ocean could explain what is likely to be a temporary slowdown in the pace of global warming this century, researchers said. Last year, scientists on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said the pace of temperature rise at the Earth's surface had slowed over the past 15 years, even though greenhouse gas emissions, widely blamed for causing climate change, have risen steadily. Past research has linked the slowdown in the...

Global warming might not be on hiatus, after all
2013-11-14 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
HNGN: Many researchers believe global warming has slowed to a halt; but the heat may have just been hiding. Climate data only covers about 84 percent of the planet because many Polar regions and areas of Africa are largely undocumented, a University of York news release reported. Researchers decided to reconstruct the missing temperatures using satellites and data from weather stations and ships. The team predicted that global warming in the Arctics is happening eight times faster than anywhere...
