Global warming already here & could be irreversible, UN panel says

Associated Press: Global warming is here, human-caused and probably already dangerous and its 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 wasnt in the other more-detailed versions, but the language...
MIT Scientists Explain How Global Warming is 'Temporarily' Cooling Antarctica

Nature World: Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers explain why global warming has led to Arctic losing sea ice, but the same has not been observed in Antarctica. Over the past few years, Arctic has shown considerable reduction in sea ice levels due to global warming. However, Antarctica has cooled and has even gained some ice recently. A new study suggests that ocean circulation can explain why the polar regions have different reactions towards rise in earth's temperature. John Marshall, the...

Unpacking unpaused global warming climate models got it right

Guardian: Although the global climate has continued to build up heat at an incredibly rapid rate, there has been a keen focus among climate contrarians and in the media on the slowdown of the warming at the Earths surface. The slowdown is in fact a double cherry pick it focuses only on the 2% of global warming that heats the atmosphere (over 90% heats the oceans), and it only considers the past 1015 years. Nevertheless, because there was so much attention paid to the surface warming slowdown, the latest...
Global warming: Heat trapped by greenhouse gases going deep into the Atlantic Ocean

Summit Voice: Ancient currents that circulate the sun`s energy deep into the Atlantic Ocean may be swallowing up some of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases. In the past decade, the current has intensified, drawing surface heat as deep as mile beneath the surface of the sea, scientists said after analyzing data from a network of ocean buoys. The new findings may help explain why the pace of warming has slowed, and suggest that, when the current reverts to weaker phase, surface temperatures could spike upward...
Global Warming Pause Rooted Deep in Atlantic Ocean

Nature World: Many theories have been suggested to explain why the Earth is currently in a global warming hiatus, from volcanoes to air pollution to sunspots. But new research indicates that this missing heat is trapped deep in the Atlantic Ocean. Scientists from the University of Washington (UW) say that heat from the surface is plunging nearly a mile down in the north and south Atlantic, affecting the balance between incoming heat and heat radiated back into the atmosphere. Despite the fact that greenhouse...
