Nature World: Changes in sea level reportedly caused Earth's oldest sea turtles to become extinct, providing insight into what could possibly happen to modern-day turtles battling climate change-related sea level rise. Little is known about the earliest sea turtle species that inhabited Earth millions of years ago. Although, in 2009 scientists discovered the remains of Hispaniachelys prebetica - supposedly the oldest sea turtle in southern Europe - in the Baetic Cordillera, in Jaén. They thought they had...

In the storm's wake, political leaders around the world have used the event as an opportunity to highlight the need to address climate change and help poor, low-lying nations to adapt to rising seas and more severe weather extremes. Vanuatu's president Baldwin Lonsdale wasted little time in identifying the culprit behind his country's acute humanitarian...

Nature World: Wars are usually caused by struggles for land or power, but one new study is blaming climate change, at least in part, for the start of the Syrian war. A nationwide drought, the worst Syria has ever seen, ravaged the region from 2006-2010, destroying the agricultural industry and driving farmers to poverty-stricken cities. Coincidentally, in spring 2011, unrest escalated into a full-blown Syrian war that has since killed at least 200,000 people and displaced millions. "We're not saying the...

Study: global warming pause caused by natural climate cycles

2015-02-27 14:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Blue and Green: The so-called global warming pause in recent years is likely to have been caused by natural variations in the climate cycle, not a slowdown in man-made climate change, according to a team of scientist. The research, which has been published in Science, notes the importance of ensuring that studies highlight the difference between man-made climate change and changes that occur naturally. Michael Mann, a professor of Meteorology at Penn State University, US, and one of the researchers, said,...
