Study: Stronger Pacific winds explain global warming hiatus

Reuters: Stronger winds which have cooled the surface of the Pacific Ocean could explain what is likely to be a temporary slowdown in the pace of global warming this century, researchers said. Last year, scientists on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said the pace of temperature rise at the Earth's surface had slowed over the past 15 years, even though greenhouse gas emissions, widely blamed for causing climate change, have risen steadily. Past research has linked the slowdown in the...

Global warming 'pause' due to unusual trade winds in Pacific ocean, study finds
2014-02-09 19:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The contentious "pause" in global warming over the past decade is largely due to unusually strong trade winds in the Pacific ocean that have buried surface heat deep underwater, new research has found. A joint Australian and US study analysed why the rise in the Earth's global average surface temperature has slowed since 2001, after rapidly increasing from the 1970s. The research shows that sharply accelerating trade winds in central and eastern areas of the Pacific have driven warm surface...

Did lifes building blocks fly to Earth and Mars on solar winds?
2014-02-01 15:30:23| Extremetech
A new study suggests that the Sun's ionic wind can drive the formation of water on asteroids, moons, and even space dust -- and that could explain how life first got started.
United Kingdom: High tides and strong winds prompt flood warning for 1,000 miles of coast

Guardian: Residents along more than 1,000 miles of the British coastline were warned to expect serious flooding this weekend as high tides coincided with 60mph winds and a heavy Atlantic swell to create a possible storm surge. The Environment Agency issued nine severe flood warnings meaning danger to life for the whole of the Cornish coast, parts of Devon and villages on the River Severn in Gloucestershire. Natural Resources Wales said the whole of the Welsh coastline could be hit by storms as bad...
