Guardian: Those who wonder why large parts of North America seem to be skipping winter have a new answer in addition to climate change: big city life. A study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, found that the heat thrown off by major metropolitan areas on America's east coast caused winter warming across large areas of North America, thousands of miles away from those cities. Winter warming was detected as far away as the Canadian prairies. In some remote areas, temperature rose by as much...

Study finds Greenlands ice may not be as vulnerable to climate change as scientists feared
2013-01-25 14:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Houston Chronicle: New research suggests that Greenland`s vast ice sheet isn`t as fragile as some climate scientists feared. The work, published in Nature this week (see abstract), indicates the majority of ice on Greenland could remain intact for hundreds of years even if the planet warms considerably. The study used ice cores to study conditions during a period of natural global warming that occurred between 115,000 and 130,000 years ago, when temperatures were about 14.5 Fahrenheit degrees higher than they...
