Don't be fooled by pause in global warming caused by 30 year cycle in ocean currents warn scientists
2014-08-21 19:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Daily Kos: An apparent slowdown in global warming caused by a 30 year ocean cycle could lull people into a misperception that global warming has paused when it has not, reports Math McGrath of the BBC. During his phase of the cycle heat is being pulled deep into the Atlantic Ocean. This phase could last another 10 years which, if this theory is true will be followed by another 30 year period where stored up heat is disgorged back into the atmosphere adding together with the longer term global warming causing...
Global Warming increasing moisture Earth's atmosphere driving Mother of all Feedback Loops

Daily Kos: We have long suspected that greenhouse gases which cause the Earth to warm would lead to a wetter atmosphere. The latest research published by Eul-Seok Chung, Brian Soden, and colleagues provides new insight into what was thought to be an old problem. In doing so, they experimentally verified what climate models have been predicting. The models got it right again. The authors show that the long-term increase in water vapor in the upper troposphere cannot have resulted from natural causes it...

Melting glaciers are caused by man-made global warming, study shows
2014-08-14 20:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: The dramatic melting of the worlds mountain glaciers from the Alps to the Himalayas is mostly the result of man-made global warming rather than natural variability in the climate, a study has found. Scientists have laid to rest the idea that glaciers as far apart as Patagonia and Indonesia are melting primarily because of natural changes to the climate caused by such things as solar variability and volcanic eruptions. An assessment of about 200,000 glaciers in the world, some of which...

'Unprecedented' flooding event in Detroit fits global warming pattern
2014-08-13 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: Detroit received 4.57 inches of rain in just a few hours on Monday, breaking its record for that date and coming in second place for the all-time wettest calendar day, behind a 4.74 inch deluge in July of 1925. The heavy rain -- which included more than an inch of rain falling in just 24 minutes -- led to some of the most widespread flash flooding on record in the Motor City. Every major interstate was affected by the flooding, which longtime weather forecasters in the area called an unprecedented...

Global Warming Will Make Toxic Algae Blooms Worse
2014-08-11 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Columbus Dispatch: Scientists say climate change is exacerbating toxic-algae problems in Lake Erie and across the country. They say more-intense storms are dumping heavy rains onto farm fields, causing more fertilizer runoff than in the past, and that lake-water temperatures are rising, making a perfect home for the toxic blue-green algae that plague Lake Erie every summer and caused Toledos recent drinking-water woes. When you have a gentle rain, where you get maybe an inch ... over a 24-hour period, you dont...
