Climate Central: In a sign of how swiftly and extensively climate change is reshaping the Arctic environment, a new study has found that the region's mighty boreal forests -- stands of mighty spruce, fir, and larch trees that serve as the gateway to the Arctic Circle -- have been burning at an unprecedented rate during the past few decades. The study, published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that the boreal forests have not burned at today's high rates for at least the past 10,000...

Nature World News: Measurements from a new reanalysis of global ocean heat content indicate that the past decade has seen an unprecedented period of deep ocean warming, according to research published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Climate scientists puzzling over "missing heat"-- the unaccounted for energy as a result of an imbalance in solar heat penetrating the atmosphere versus the amount of heat leaving the atmosphere -- in the Earth's energy budget make the case that despite ocean surface warming...

Unprecedented extremes and warmest decade since modern measurements
2013-07-04 05:35:37| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: The past 10 years were the warmest since the start of modern measurements 160 years ago and it was also a decade of unprecedented extremes in the climate according to a report by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO). Heatwaves in Europe and Russia, hurricane Katrina in the United States, tropical cyclones in South East Asia, droughts in the Amazon, Australia and East Africa and floods in Pakistan were all features of the last decade indicating a shift in the climate, the WMO said. Both...
