Apparent slowing of sea level rise is artefact of satellite data
2015-05-11 20:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: A slowdown in rising sea levels recorded over the past decade is down to a measurement error. In fact, sea levels are rising more quickly than ever. Over the past century, the sea level has risen by around 0.2 metres, and it has been rising faster and faster. However, this trend got murky over the past decade, with satellite data suggesting that the sea level has risen slightly more slowly in the past decade than in the previous one. That would be good news if true. Yet the result was odd...

Foreign automakers continue to plough money into factories in China, the world's largest car market, even as the biggest economic slowdown in a quarter of a century crimps sales growth.

Deforestation Slowing, But Forests Are Breaking Down
2015-03-21 00:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The amount of climate pollution being produced every year by the felling of forests is falling worldwide, but benefits of the heartening decline are being eroded by the worsening conditions of the forests still left standing. The losses of entire stretches of forests, combined with losses of individual trees from forests that remain, pumped an average of 3.2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year from 2011 to 2015, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization announced...
