Guardian: Droughts, floods, forest fires and melting poles climate change is impacting Earth like never before. From the Australia to Greenland, Ashley Coopers work spans 13 years and over 30 countries. This selection, taken from his new book, shows a changing landscape, scarred by pollution and natural disasters but there is hope too, with the steady rise of renewable energy

Warming Could Boost Carbon Storage in Alaska Forests
2016-06-02 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Climate change may dramatically increase carbon storage in Alaskas temperate forests, possibly offsetting the climate impacts of melting permafrost and wildfires, new research from the U.S. Geological Survey shows. But theres an asterisk: the studys authors said their projections could be skewed by a lack of data on methane emissions from lakes throughout northern Alaska, which could factor into how much carbon is ultimately stored by the forests. Using computer models to project how warmer...

Study: How Deep, Old Waters Delay Antarctic Ocean Warming
2016-06-01 07:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: A new study revealed that surface water in the Antarctic ocean is being pushed northward, which allows the old,deep water to surface, delaying the effects of global warming in the Antarctic. A new study from the University of Washington and Massachusetts Institute of Technology revealed that ocean currents are the reason behind the delayed warming of the Antarctic Ocean while the rest of planet is significantly warmer. Previously, scientists believed that the delayed warming in the Atlantic...
Antarctic seas defy global warming thanks to chill from the deep
2016-05-31 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A persistent chill in the ocean off Antarctica that defies the global warming blamed for melting Arctic ice at the other end of the planet is caused by cold waters welling up from the depths after hundreds of years, scientists said on Monday. The Southern Ocean off Antarctica may be among the last places on Earth to feel the impact of man-made climate change, with a lag of centuries to affect waters emerging from up to 5,000 meters (16,000 ft) deep, the U.S. study said. Many people who doubt...
Warming of Indian Ocean hits rainfall over central India
2016-05-31 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Decan Chronicle: Warming of western Indian Ocean due to climate change is affecting southwest monsoon rainfall over central India. It is decreasing by 1.49 mm per day per year. This connection has been established in a recently published paper by S. Vishnu Nair, a research scholar from Indian National Center for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), Hyderabad. Mr Nair in his paper has established a link between the warming of the western Indian Ocean, decreasing trend in monsoon depressions (MD) forming over...
