2013-04-27 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Indian Country Today: Ocean-surface temperatures from Maine to North Carolina have shot to their highest in 150 years, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on April 25. "Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the Northeast Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem during 2012 were the highest ever recorded in both long-term observational and short-term remote sensing time series," said NOAA in a statement containing data from the agency's Northeast Fisheries Science Center. "These exceptionally high...

Climate Change-Drought Connection Not 'Significant' In 2012 U.S. Dry Spell, NOAA Reports
2013-04-12 00:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Last year's huge drought was a freak of nature that wasn't caused by man-made global warming, a new federal science study finds. Scientists say the lack of moisture usually pushed up from the Gulf of Mexico was the main reason for the drought in the nation's midsection. Thursday's report by dozens of scientists from five different federal agencies looked into why forecasters didn't see the drought coming. The researchers concluded that it was so unusual and unpredictable that it couldn't have been...

NOAA to Map Alaskas Increasingly Ice-Free Arctic Waters
2013-02-28 04:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has launched a program to update some of its nautical charts, thanks largely to climate change. The revisions affect Alaska's coast, which has America's only Arctic seafront. As a result of global warming, ice that has historically blocked Arctic waters, even in summer, has been plummeting in recent years, with 2012 ice melting back to the smallest extent since satellite records began. And as sea ice recedes, said NOAA Coast Survey director...

Worker Rest Breaks Double by 2050 as Climate Warms: NOAA
2013-02-24 11:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Workers in jobs without air conditioning will need rest breaks twice as often by 2050 to avoid heat stress amid a warming climate, according to a study from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Losses in labor capacity, or the ability to work safely in warm conditions, will double by mid-century assuming global temperatures rise by 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit), according to the study to be published today online in Nature Climate Change. Temperatures have risen 0.7...

Warming Climate Yields Another Warm January: NOAA
2013-02-21 22:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: January of 2013 continued the unbroken string of months with above-average global surface temperatures, tying with 1995 as the ninth-warmest such month on record since instrument records began in 1880, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said on Thursday. This marked the 335th straight month above the 20th century average, and the 37th straight warmer-than-average January. The last cooler-than-average January occurred in 1976, and the last cooler-than-average month occurred...
