Burning All Fossil Fuels Would Lead 17 C Rise in Arctic Temperatures
2016-05-24 16:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Burning all the fossil fuels we know to exist on Earth could push global temperature an average of 8 C above preindustrial levels, according to new research. The Arctic would bear the brunt of the warming, with temperatures potentially rising 17 C, said the authors. The new paper, published Monday in Nature Climate Change, looks at would happen over the next 300 years or so if the world continues to burn coal, oil and gas with no efforts to limit emissions. Dr. Malte Meinshausen from the Potsdam...
Burning all fossil fuels could lead to global warmth not seen in 65 million years

USA Today: If every last crumb of fossil fuel on the planet was burned - all 5.5 trillion tons of the Earth's oil, coal and natural gas now underground - the world could heat up by as much as 18 degrees in the next three centuries, according to a scientific study out Monday that researchers say is a critical warning message on global warming. This would be as warm as when dinosaurs roamed the Earth about 65 million years ago, one expert said. "In that scenario, most of the planet would be unlivable for...
Burning all fossil fuels would 'cook' Earth, raise temperatures 8 degrees: study

Age: Burning all the world's known fossil fuels would result in the release of the equivalent of 5 trillion tonnes of carbon dioxide and drive global temperatures 8 degrees warmer than pre-industrial levels by 2300, a report by Canadian researchers has found. The study, published on Tuesday in Nature Climate Change, extended models used for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and found impacts that were "considerably larger" than previously indicated. For instance, by 2300, global temperatures...

World could warm by massive 10C if all fossil fuels are burned
2016-05-23 17:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The planet would warm by searing 10C if all fossil fuels are burned, according to a new study, leaving some regions uninhabitable and wreaking profound damage on human health, food supplies and the global economy. The Arctic, already warming fast today, would heat up even more 20C by 2300 the new research into the extreme scenario found. I think it is really important to know what would happen if we dont take any action to mitigate climate change, said Katarzyna Tokarska, at the University...

Fossil gives clues to ancient extinction
2016-05-23 11:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: A newly-classified fossil gives clues to how life in the oceans recovered from a mass extinction about 250 million years ago. The reptile is an early relative of the ichthyosaurs - a large group of marine reptiles that swam at the time of the dinosaurs. With its tiny toothless head, the creature is something of a curiosity, say scientists. The specimen suggests marine reptiles evolved quickly after the event. Previous evidence has suggested it took a long time for animals in the seas...
