Underwater volcanoes could be affecting climate change

The Week: A new study suggests that climate change may actually begin underwater. Researchers at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory found that volcanic eruptions beneath the ocean's surface could impact the process of climate change. The study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, suggests that climate analysts add volcanic consideration into predictive climate change models. "People have ignored seafloor volcanoes on the idea that their influence is small -- but...

Undersea Volcanoes May Be Impacting Climate Change

Time: A new study claims that volcanic eruptions along the ocean floor may impact earth's climate cycle and that predictive models, including those that analyze humanity's impact on climate change, may need to be modified. "People have ignored seafloor volcanoes on the idea that their influence is small--but that's because they are assumed to be in a steady state, which they're not,' said Maya Tolstoy, a geophysicist and author of the study that appeared in Geophysical Research Letters and was also...

Pakistans new climate change ministry merely cosmetic

Dawn: Pakistan has elevated the climate change division to a ministry but opinion is divided on whether it will translate into effective policy making or remain a merely cosmetic initiative. The Pakistan governments decision to upgrade its climate change division to the status of a ministry has experts divided down the middle with some welcoming it and others sceptical on whether it will prove to be effective in formulating policy. The federal government upped the status of the division to a ministry...

What Should We Tell the Kids About Climate Change?

Bloomberg: In Wyoming last year and in South Carolina in 2012, legislators banned public schools from implementing national teaching standards that treat human-caused global warming as settled science. A similar measure passed the Oklahoma Senate last year but failed in the states House of Representatives. Conservatives in Kentucky also tried to bring legislation, but it didnt go very far. Michigans state board of education is bracing for a debate on new standards later this year. Youre seeing science...
Climate Change Predications Confirmed by Ancient Warming Event

Nature World: Evidence of this previous warm period came from an analysis of ancient plankton fossils drilled from the ocean floor. By studying the relationship between CO2 levels and climate change during a warmer period in Earth's history, the scientists have been able to estimate how the climate will respond to rising CO2 levels - a parameter known as "climate sensitivity." The findings, published in the journal Nature, are in line with future predictions from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change...
