It is 99.999 percent likely global warming is caused by humans: CSIRO
2014-09-05 11:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
9News: A CSIRO report has declared the chances of global warming being the result of human industry as 99.999 percent likely. The paper published yesterday in the Climate Risk Management journal noted December 2013 was the 346th consecutive month where global land and ocean temperatures exceeded the monthly average of the 20th century. In other words, not since February 1985 have global conditions been below the average mark. The likelihood of such an occurrence without human contribution is less than...

Study links humans to warming trend in Pacific Northwest
2014-09-04 22:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
KATU: Humans are the link to a warming world, according to researchers at Oregon State University and University of Idaho. Philip Mote, director of OSU's Oregon Climate Services, worked with two other scientists to publish the study that links global warming directly to humans. "We put stuff in the atmosphere, green house gasses and also pollutants that reflect sunlight and form clouds, and that increase in heat-trapping gasses, is the only thing that can explain the large warming trend since 1950,'...

New study finds 99.999% certainty humans causing global warming
2014-09-04 08:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Conversation: Our new CSIRO work provides an objective assessment linking global temperature increases to human activity, which points to a close to certain probability exceeding 99.999%. Our work extends existing approaches undertaken internationally to detect climate change and attribute it to human or natural causes. The 2013 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fifth Assessment Report provided an expert consensus that: It is extremely likely [defined as 95-100% certainty] that more than half of...

Humans now major cause of alpine glacier melt, researchers say
2014-08-16 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Retreating alpine glaciers in a warming world may seem to have an obvious connection. But glaciers respond to environmental changes, well, glacially. At any point, it's hard to tell how much of a glacier's retreat is due to human-triggered factors now and how much is due to natural factors that might have held sway years ago, researchers say. Now comes an analysis estimating that between 1990 and 2010, some 69 percent of the mass lost by the world's alpine glaciers can be traced to human influence...

Humans to Blame for World's Melting Glaciers
2014-08-15 22:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: As our world warms, glacial ice continues to retreat. However, scientists have now come to realize that humans are mostly to blame, rather than being able to solely peg it on natural climate fluctuations, according to a new study. Glacier extent actually responds very slowly to climate changes. In fact, it typically takes glaciers decades or centuries to adjust. The global retreat of these massive chunks of ice started around the middle of the 19th century at the end of the Little Ice Age. Though...
