Warming Arctic creates GHG danger zone
2016-06-27 11:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate New Network: Climate scientists have coolly established the mechanism by which a warming Arctic will accelerate the warming of the whole world. Its simple: as the permafrost warms and dries, it will release ever greater quantities of carbon dioxide from the Arctic soils. And those bits of tundra that warm, thaw and become increasingly soggy will release ever greater quantities of methane, a greenhouse gas (GHG) more short-lived but also a far more potent heat trap than CO2. The impact of the carbon dioxide,...

Guardian: In 2013, a team of citizen science volunteers who collaborate on the climate myth debunking website SkepticalScience.com published a paper finding a 97% expert consensus on human-caused global warming in peer-reviewed research. Over the past 3 years, that paper has been downloaded more than 500,000 times. For perspective, thats 4 times more than the second-most downloaded paper in the Institute of Physics journals (which includes Environmental Research Letters, where the 97% consensus paper was...

Arctic?s red algae speeding up global warming, causing glaciers to melt fast
2016-06-23 07:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
IB Times: A study has revealed that fields of red-coloured algae are forming on worlds glaciers and it is accelerating global warming. Previously, the experts thought the red colour of the snow was caused by some chemical spill or baby seal clubbing. However, it is just algae, and scientists are completely baffled by this weird phenomenon. Moreover, the algae-formation is causing the glaciers to melt fast. The study, published in the science journal Nature Communications, revealed that its the colour...
Looking to the past to learn more about a warming planet's possible future
2016-06-22 23:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
GizMag: Scientists believe that by peering into the ocean's past they can learn valuable lessons about the possible ramifications of global warming Expectations of what a warmer planet might mean range from the inconsequential to the much more dire, but researchers are working to bring more scientific data to the debate. For geologists at Florida State University (FSU), one way to learn more about the future is by visiting the past, 94 million years ago to be exact. By studying a major warming event...
