Warmer oceans mean some cod stocks will never fully recover
2015-10-29 19:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: ailure to include changes in sea temperature in fisheries models has led fisheries managers to overestimate some stocks by two to five times, leading to overfishing. Now warmer water may make the recovery of one cod fishery to previous levels impossible. Cod off the north-east coast of North America has historically been one of the worlds great protein resources. But overfishing caused a crash in the biggest stocks off Newfoundland and Labrador, where cod fishing has been banned since 1992. The...

Why monster hurricanes like Patricia are expected on a warmer planet
2015-10-24 19:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: First there was Supertyphoon Haiyan - which peaked out at 170-knot or 315 km/h mile-per-hour winds in 2013 as it slammed the Philippines. And now there is Patricia, forecast to soon hit Mexico, with currently estimated maximum sustained wind speeds of 175 knots or more than 324 km/h. It is officially the strongest hurricane ever measured by the U.S. National Hurricane Center, based on both its wind speed (175 knots) and its minimum central pressure (880 millibars). The wind measurement "makes Patricia...

Warmer Temperatures Linked To Earlier Spring Leaf Unfolding, New Study Shows
2015-10-05 03:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Climate change has led to earlier spring leaf unfolding in many deciduous, or broadleaf, trees that otherwise require colder temperatures for slow release. It turns out this sensitivity has significantly decreased since the 1980s, according to researchers from the Technical Institute of Munich (TUM). This could help scientists better understand future carbon storage and potential frost damage. An international team of researchers examined how leaf sensitivity changes when faced with warming temperatures....

2015 will be 'the hottest year on record' but experts predict 2016 will be even warmer
2015-09-14 01:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: The slowdown in global warming is likely to end within two years as the Earths climate system undergoes a radical shift that could push temperatures to record highs this year and next, according to the Met Office. The findings will demolish claims by climate sceptics that the slowdown in the rate of global warming over the past 17 years proves that scientists concerns are exaggerated. And it will put further pressure on world leaders to agree strong action to curb carbon emissions at a key UN...
A warmer North Pacific is staying warmer, with dramatic impact on marine life
2015-09-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: Warm sea temperatures are persisting in the North Pacific longer than at any other time on record, according to a new study published this week, and it is having a dramatic effect on distribution of marine life. In the last year and a half the northeastern part of the Pacific Ocean, between Hawaii and the mainland of North America, has been warmer than at any time since 1900, when such record-keeping began. Sea temperatures there are between 5 degrees to 9 degrees Fahrenheit higher than is typical...
