Global warming is shifting Earth's clouds, study shows
2016-07-12 11:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The reaction of clouds to a warming atmosphere has been one of the major sources of uncertainty in estimating exactly how much the world will heat up from the accumulation of greenhouse gases, as some changes would enhance warming, while others would counteract it. The study, detailed Monday in the journal Nature, overcomes problems with the satellite record and shows that observations support projections from climate models. But the work is only a first step in understanding the relationship...

Global warming: Is it time to phase out fossil fuels?
2016-07-08 08:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Times: They are one of the worlds energy generators and many countries highly rely on them to power industries, transport and energy sectors. However, exploitation of these naturally formed resources has been said to be a major ingredient to global warming, which the world has in the past few years been grappling with. According to Environment and Energy Study Institute, a US-based organisation that aims to promote environmentally sustainable societies, fossil fuels including coal, oil and natural gas,...

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...

Guardian: Universal support is needed from businesses across the world to tackle global warming, the United Nations climate chief says. Business leaders and politicians are meeting in London to discuss how to implement the first comprehensive climate agreement, secured at UN talks in Paris in December, to cut greenhouse gas emissions and avoid dangerous temperature rises. The two-day Business and Climate Summit will look at how companies can continue with leadership that has already seen firms take...
