Vast Peat Fires Threaten Health and Boost Global Warming
2016-07-02 20:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ensia: As forest fires devastated Fort McMurray, Alberta, last month, a different sort of fire may have started beneath the ground. Peat, a carbon-rich soil created from partially decomposed, waterlogged vegetation accumulated over several millennia and the stuff that fueled Indonesias megafires last fall, also appears in the boreal forests that span Canada, Alaska and Siberia. With the intense heat from the Fort McMurray fires, theres a good chance the soil in the area could have been ignited, says...

Global climate emergency declared after jet stream crosses equator
2016-07-02 11:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inhabit: A prominent climate scientist has declared a "global climate emergency" after observing the jet stream in the Northern Hemisphere crossing the equator and mixing with the jet stream in the Southern Hemisphere. Paul Beckwith, a geography professor at the University of Ottawa, wrote in a blog post that this behavior is new and "indicates that climate system mayhem is ongoing." If the merging of the jet streams continues, it could disrupt the seasons, threatening the food supply chain and causing "massive...

Pledges Made at Paris Climate Talks Will Not Contain Global Warming
2016-07-02 09:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: National promises made late last year to contain carbon dioxide emissions will not be nearly enough to meet the global warming target agreed last December by 195 nations, according to a new assessment. The signatories to the historic agreement at the UN conference on climate change in Paris pledged to limit global warming to below 2°C and to aim for no more than 1.5°C rise above pre-industrial levels. The planet has already warmed by 1°C in the last century. But, climate scientists say, the...

Study warns dangerous global warming to happen sooner
2016-07-02 02:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Eco News: According to new Australian research that highlights the alarming implications of rising energy demand the world is on track to reach dangerous levels of global warming much sooner than expected. University of Queensland (UQ) and Griffith University researchers have developed a global energy tracker that predicts average world temperatures could climb 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by 2020. That forecast, based on new modelling using long-term average projections on economic...
