The only solution for polar bears: 'stop the rise in CO2 and other greenhouse gases'
2014-10-08 16:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: In 1773, an expedition headed by Constantine John Phipps, the Second Baron Mulgrave, embarked on a dangerous journey North-to see how far they could go before having to turn back. In his report at the end of the exploratory voyage, he notes that every precaution was taken to ensure a successful voyage-extra clothing on board for when "the higher latitudes" were reached, spirits for use by the sick, and life boats designed to carry the crew of both ships, should one be lost. Along the way, Phipps...

Researchers create more accurate model greenhouse gases from peatlands
2014-10-03 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhyOrg: Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have created a new model to more accurately describe the greenhouse gases likely to be released from Arctic peatlands as they warm. Their findings, based on modeling how oxygen filters through soil, suggest that previous models probably underestimated methane emissions and overrepresented carbon dioxide emissions from these regions. Peatlands, common in the Arctic, are wetlands filled with dead and decaying organic matter....

California drought link greenhouse gases, climate change
2014-09-30 03:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
San Jose Mercury News: The stubborn high-pressure systems that block California rains are linked to the abundance of human-caused greenhouse gases that heat the oceans, according to a major paper released Monday by Stanford scientists. But two other new studies disagree -- saying there's no evidence that warming ocean waters are to blame for our drought. The dispute comes at the end of the state's official "water year," which closes Tuesday with less than 60 percent of average precipitation. California's major reservoirs...

Stanford scientists say greenhouse gases worsen California drought
2014-09-30 02:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Californias catastrophic drought has most likely been made worse by man-made climate change, according to a report released Monday by Stanford University, but scientists are still hesitant to fully blame the lack of rain on climate change. The research, published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society as part of a collection of reports on extreme weather events in 2013, is one of the most comprehensive studies linking climate change and California's ongoing drought, which has...
