Jamaica: Why we desperately need healthy oceans
2014-10-12 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Jamaica Observer: The third annual Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Conference held in Upolu, Samoa in August 2014 highlighted the fact that the future economic development of SIDS will be ocean-based. Ocean-based economic growth, referred to by the moniker "blue growth", depends critically on healthy oceans. The dilemma is that the quality of oceans is increasingly threatened by the adverse consequences of climate change which, by all credible scientific accounts, is intensifying and accelerating. SIDS...

Prince Albert: Rising oceans could be 'catastrophic'
2014-10-11 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Desert Sun: Saying that time is running out for fixes as oceans rise and grow more acidic, Prince Albert II of Monaco on Friday expressed hope that a retreat at Sunnylands offers a vital opportunity for scientists and policymakers to agree on potential solutions. Albert's comments came in an email to The Desert Sun hours before he opened the three-day retreat at the Annenberg family estate in Rancho Mirage. "This retreat is bringing together scientists, marine environment specialists as well as economic...

Hotter Oceans Explain Global Warming 'Pause'
2014-10-09 11:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Truthdig: One of the most hotly-argued questions in climate research -- whether global warming has slowed or even stopped -- appears to have been definitively answered. And the scientists` conclusion is unambiguous: the Earth continues to warm at a dangerous pace. All that`s happening, they say, is that the extra heat being produced -- mainly by the burning of fossil fuels -- is concentrating not in the skies but in the seas. They have found new evidence that backs them up. Instead of driving up the...

Warming of Southern Hemisphere oceans underestimated

Asia News International: Scientists have revealed that until recent improvements occurred in the observational system in the early 21st century, Southern Hemisphere ocean heat content changes were likely underestimated. Lawrence Livermore scientists used a fleet of miniature research vessels (Argo), the global flotilla of more than 3,600 robotic profiling floats, that point towards heating of the upper layers of the world's ocean currents. The team found that the 3,600 Argo floats currently observing the global oceans,...

Scientists Discover Worlds Oceans Warming Faster Than Predicted
2014-10-06 16:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: The oceans are warming faster than previously thought, according to a pair of new studies released this weekend and published in the scientific journal Natural Climate Change. This conclusion is largely due to enhanced information gathering in the southern oceans, which was limited in the past. The research teams compared previous ocean warming figures, based on the less complete data, with projections based on information they were able to obtain from more detailed studies. They found that from...
