Climate change slowdown is due to warming of deep oceans, say scientists
2013-07-22 18:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: A recent slowdown in the upward march of global temperatures is likely to be the result of the slow warming of the deep oceans, British scientists said on Monday. Oceans are some of the Earth's biggest absorbers of heat, which can be seen in effects such as sea level rises, caused by the expansion of large bodies of water as they warm. The absorption goes on over long periods, as heat from the surface is gradually circulated to the lower reaches of the seas. Temperatures around the world have...
Oceans 30 percent more acidic? Mostly true

PolitiFact: Most people have heard about what will happen if humans keep pumping large amounts of carbon dioxide into the air as we burn more fossil fuels, including warmer temperatures, melting polar caps, rising sea levels, stronger storms and big changes in the types of plants and animals that can survive and thrive in particular regions of the world. "But wait," as an evil TV pitchman might gleefully declare, "there's more." On June 12, 2013, U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat from Rhode Island,...

Oceans around Antarctica could become massive protected sanctuary
2013-07-15 20:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mother Nature Network: Millions of square miles of ocean off the coast of Antarctica could potentially become a marine sanctuary protecting thousands of species from exploitation unless Russia and China object, that is. The possible ocean sanctuary which would be the world's largest will be discussed next week by the member nations of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), which will meet in Germany beginning on July 21. Two separate proposals are on the table to protect...

Deep Oceans Have Seen Decade of 'Unprecedented' Warming
2013-07-08 23:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Measurements from a new reanalysis of global ocean heat content indicate that the past decade has seen an unprecedented period of deep ocean warming, according to research published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Climate scientists puzzling over "missing heat"-- the unaccounted for energy as a result of an imbalance in solar heat penetrating the atmosphere versus the amount of heat leaving the atmosphere -- in the Earth's energy budget make the case that despite ocean surface warming...

Jumping Snails will Outlive Fish in the Warming Oceans
2013-07-06 18:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: A group of researchers studying Great Barrier Reef humpbacked conch snails report that the mollusks will be able to use their trademark jump to avoid predators, even as ocean temperatures rise. The snails' jumping defense will still be a viable survival mechanism, even if the water temperature exceeds a level that will kill fish.
