Mashable: When it comes to Earth's climate, even the records themselves are breaking records now. Earth just experienced its hottest August on record, according to NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This means the planet has set a record warm monthly temperature record during every month for the past 16 consecutive months -- an unprecedented warm streak, according to NOAA. The year-to-date is also record warm, as was the June through August period, known as meteorological...

Unprecedented atmospheric behavior disrupts one of Earth's most regular climate cycles
2016-09-10 09:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: The normal flow of air high up in the atmosphere over the equator, known as the quasi-biennial oscillation, was seen to break down earlier this year. These stratospheric winds are found high above the tropics, their direction and strength changes in a regular two- to three-year cycle which provides forecasters with an indication of the weather to expect in Northern Europe. Westerly winds are known to increase the chance of warm and wet conditions, while easterlies bring drier and colder weather....

California Takes An Unprecedented Stand Against Climate Change
2016-09-09 22:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Huffington Post: California is extending its plan to drastically cut carbon emissions for another 10 years under a pair of bills signed by Gov. Jerry Brown (D) on Thursday, marking a major step forward in the fight against climate change. The new legislation will significantly ramp up the state's existing efforts to reduce emissions, including increasing the state's reliance on solar power, offering rebates for electric cars and placing stronger regulations on businesses. SB 32, authored by state Sen. Fran...

2016 May Be Hottest Year Yet: Global Warming at an 'Unprecedented' Pace in a Millenium, NASA Says
2016-09-02 03:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: As each month of 2016 continues to shatter world records with their warming temperatures, a top climate scientist from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said the Earth is actually experiencing a warming at an "unprecedented pace" in the last 1,000 years. The Guardian reported that this trend will make it "very unlikely" to meet the 1.5-degree-Celsius limit set and agreed by different countries in the Paris climate accord in December last year. An analysis of ice cores...

Nasa: Earth is warming at a pace 'unprecedented in 1,000 years'
2016-08-30 12:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The planet is warming at a pace not experienced within the past 1,000 years, at least, making it very unlikely that the world will stay within a crucial temperature limit agreed by nations just last year, according to Nasas top climate scientist. This year has already seen scorching heat around the world, with the average global temperature peaking at 1.38C above levels experienced in the 19th century, perilously close to the 1.5C limit agreed in the landmark Paris climate accord. July was the...
