Global warming: Heat trapped by greenhouse gases going deep into the Atlantic Ocean

Summit Voice: Ancient currents that circulate the sun`s energy deep into the Atlantic Ocean may be swallowing up some of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases. In the past decade, the current has intensified, drawing surface heat as deep as mile beneath the surface of the sea, scientists said after analyzing data from a network of ocean buoys. The new findings may help explain why the pace of warming has slowed, and suggest that, when the current reverts to weaker phase, surface temperatures could spike upward...
"Heat Islands" Cook U.S. Cities Faster Than Ever

Scientific American: Cities are almost always hotter than the surrounding rural area but global warming takes that heat and makes it worse. In the future, this combination of urbanization and climate change could raise urban temperatures to levels that threaten human health, strain energy resources, and compromise economic productivity. Summers in the U.S. have been warming since 1970. But on average across the country cities are even hotter, and have been getting hotter faster than adjacent rural areas. With more...
Oceans Hid the Heat and Slowed Pace of Global Warming
2014-08-22 17:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: Newly published data suggest that a hiatus in rising global air temperatures in the 21st century is the result of heat sinks deep in the Atlantic and Southern oceans. The trend is likely connected to roughly 30-year global warming and cooling cycles, according to researchers. The study could put to rest a long-standing debate among scientists about why air temperature rise had halted after a period of rapid increases at the end of the 20th century. "We weren't surprised by the results, but...

Global warming 'hiatus' means heat is hiding in ocean
2014-08-22 00:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: An apparent slowdown in the Earth's surface warming in the last 15 years could be due to that heat being trapped in the deep Atlantic and Southern Ocean, researchers said Thursday. The findings in the journal Science suggest that such cycles tend to last 20-35 years, and that global warming will likely pick up again once that heat returns to surface waters. "Every week there's a new explanation of the hiatus," said co-author Ka-Kit Tung, a University of Washington professor of applied mathematics...
