Big cities' heat can change temperatures a continent away: study
2013-01-27 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The energy big cities burn - mostly coal and oil to power buildings, cars and other devices - produces excess heat that can get into atmospheric currents and influence temperatures thousands of miles (km) away, a new study found. The so-called waste heat that leaks out of buildings, vehicles and other sources in major Northern Hemisphere cities makes winters warmer across huge swaths of northern Asia and northern North America, according to a report published on Sunday in the journal Nature Climate...
Does New York's heat warm Canadian winters and cool Europe?

Associated Press: Heat rising up from cities such as New York, Paris and Tokyo might be remotely warming up winters far away in some rural parts of Alaska, Canada, and Siberia, a surprising study theorizes. In an unusual twist, that same urban heat from buildings and cars may be slightly cooling the autumns in much of the Western United States, Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean, according to the study published Sunday in the scientific journal Nature Climate Change. Meteorologists long have known that cities...
What connects the reservoir, the oil price and the heat pump fallacy?
2013-01-26 17:37:31| Oil IT Journal - www.oilit.com
Editor Neil McNaughton looks at the phenomenon of drawdown. Reservoir pressure is drawn down by production as are local oil and gas prices. Drawdown also nails the fallacy of the heat pump as an energy source despite its support from the International Energy Agency!
In perceiving climate change, feeling the heat counts
2013-01-24 12:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Human beings around the world are observing and accurately detecting changes in their local climates, according to a new study led by Yale University researchers. The finding provides the first global evidence for the phenomenon and could have meaningful implications for attempts to combat climate change, they said. "We wanted to see if people have accurately detected the signal of a changing climate through their own local experience," said Peter D. Howe, a postdoctoral associate at Yale and...

President Obama's own words turn up heat on Keystone decision
2013-01-23 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Politico: President Barack Obama is in a pipeline pickle. The presidents call for action on climate change during Mondays inaugural speech puts his upcoming decision on the Keystone XL oil pipeline in an even brighter spotlight pitting his pledge to tackle global warming against his stated commitment to an all of the above energy strategy. Republicans and industry groups will unleash a torrent of attacks on the president if he rejects the pipeline. And Keystone has strong support from some Democrats...
