Global Warming Causing 'Irreversible Damage': UN Report
2014-08-27 20:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Global warming is here, and "severe, widespread and irreversible" damage may be inevitable unless faster action is taken to reduce fossil fuel emissions, a newly leaked UN report has warned. The 127-page report states that further pollution - caused by the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and gas - will contribute to problems like rising sea levels and extreme weather, such as heat waves, flooding and droughts. "Without additional mitigation, and even with adaptation, warming by the...

What Global Warming Might Mean for Extreme Snowfalls
2014-08-27 20:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: So if the world is warming, that means winters should be less snowy, right? Well, it's a bit more complicated than that. OK, it's a lot more complicated. Boston's North End neighborhood amid the snow drifts after a February 2013 blizzard. While the average annual snowfall in most parts of the world is indeed expected to decline, the extreme snowfalls -- those that hit a place once every 10 or 20 years and can cause major headaches and economic impacts -- may decline at a slower rate, and could...

UN panel: Global warming human-caused, dangerous
2014-08-27 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Global warming is here, human-caused and probably already dangerous - and it's increasingly likely that the heating trend could be irreversible, a draft of a new international science report says. The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on Monday sent governments a final draft of its synthesis report, which combines three earlier, gigantic documents by the Nobel Prize-winning group. There is little in the report that wasn't in the other more-detailed versions, but the language...

UK study eyes links between global warming, extreme flooding

Summit Voice: British scientists aren`t quite ready to say that last winter`s record flooding is linked with human-caused global warming, but in a recent study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, they warned that more coastal flooding is likely as sea level rises. "We saw a number of examples last winter that demonstrated the vulnerability of coastal regions to flooding from surge events," said Dr. Jason Lowe, of the UK Met Office. "At present our best evidence points towards future increases in...
