Climate Change Accelerating At 'Unprecedented' Rate
2016-03-21 20:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
HNGN: A new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) suggests global climate change is advancing at an alarming and "unprecedented" rate. Last year's extreme weather broke a series of records, including global temperatures, exceptional rainfall, devastating droughts, unusual cyclone activity and intense heat waves. And while 2015 proved to be the warmest year worldwide, 2016 is expected to far exceed those records. "The year 2015 will stand out in the historical record of the global...

Climate Home: February 2016 broke global temperature records, according to data released by NASA on Saturday. Global surface temperatures were 1.35C above the 1951-1980 global average for the month, a development described by experts as "an ominous milestone towards a warmer planet." "Perhaps even more remarkable is that February 2016 crushed the previous February record -- set in 1998 during the peak atmospheric influence of the 1997-98 super El Nino that`s comparable in strength to the current one -- by...

Unprecedented: Expedition recovers mantle rocks with signs of life
2016-02-01 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] An international team of scientists - recently returned from a 47-day research expedition to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean - have collected an unprecedented sequence of rock samples from the shallow mantle of the ocean crust that bear signs of life, unique carbon cycling, and ocean crust movement. Led by Co-Chief Scientists Dr. Gretchen Früh-Green (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) and Dr. Beth Orcutt (Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, USA), the team collected these u…

Human activities to blame for unprecedented climate changes and global warming
2016-01-28 03:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Delhi Daily News: A report by United Nation's World Meteorological Organization (WMO) says that 2015 was the hottest year since 2000 and the researchers are blaming the greenhouse gases and the man-made activities for the fuelling heat waves and downpours. About fifteen of the 16 hottest years on record belonged to this century, the exceptionally strong El Nino and the greenhouse gases together had the effect on the climate system in 2015. The influence of El Nino will weaken in the upcoming time, but the effect...

Electric Utilities Are Facing Unprecedented Challenges
2016-01-19 08:16:29| Semiconductors - Topix.net
While electric utilities still own the vast majority of the electrical generation market, they are largely powerless to stop distributed generation's growth. While recent electric utility policy wins in areas such as Nevada seemed to have energized the industry, the long-term prospects of electric utilities remain grim.
