Oceans may explain slowdown in climate change: study
2013-04-07 19:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Climate change could get worse quickly if huge amounts of extra heat absorbed by the oceans are released back into the air, scientists said after unveiling new research showing that oceans have helped mitigate the effects of warming since 2000. Heat-trapping gases are being emitted into the atmosphere faster than ever, and the 10 hottest years since records began have all taken place since 1998. But the rate at which the earth's surface is heating up has slowed somewhat since 2000, causing scientists...

New Oceans Study: Global Warming Accelerated in Past 15 Years
2013-03-27 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Energy Collective: A new study of ocean warming has just been published in Geophysical Research Letters by Balmaseda, Trenberth, and Källén (2013). There are several important conclusions which can be drawn from this paper. Completely contrary to the popular contrarian myth, global warming has accelerated, with more overall global warming in the past 15 years than the prior 15 years. This is because about 90% of overall global warming goes into heating the oceans, and the oceans have been warming dramatically. ...
Kerry: Policymakers 'toy' with oceans by not addressing climate

The Hill: Secretary of State John Kerry said during a Monday speech in Washington, D.C., that policymakers have "the responsibility as human beings" to combat climate change in defense of oceans and aquatic ecosystems. Kerry called climate change an economic and national security issue -- as well as an environmental one -- because it affects oceans, aquatic ecosystems and the food they produce. Climate change is coming back in a sense as a serious international issue because people are experiencing...

Global warming: Are oceans headed for a dead zone?
2013-02-25 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: Careful analysis of the marine fossil record from the Early Jurassic era (about 180 million years ago), suggests that warmer global temperatures and lower oxygen levels led to dramatic ecosystem changes, with a near extinction of ocean life. Those ecosystems later rebouned, but with a completely different species composition, according to Plymouth University (UK) scientists who studied ocean sediments along the North Yorkshire coast. "Our study of fossil marine ecosystems shows that if global warming...

Mineral dust sprinkled in oceans could absorb vast amounts of carbon: study
2013-01-22 08:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Sprinkling billions of tonnes of mineral dust across the oceans could quickly remove a vast quantities of climate-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, according to a new study. The proposed "geoengineering" technique would also offset the acidification of the oceans and could be targeted at endangered coral reefs, but it would require a mining effort on the same scale as the world's coal industry and would alter the biology of the oceans. "It certainly is not a simple solution against...
