Antarctic sea ice expands to record levels: Should global warming be blamed? Yes and No
2014-10-09 22:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Tech Times: The melting of the world's ice is often blamed on global warming. The Antarctic sea ice, however, poses a conundrum because it has been expanding to record levels. On Sept. 20, the sea ice extent in the Antarctic has reached 7.78 million square miles breaking the record it has set in 2013 but while it may appear that this record discredits claims of global warming, scientists said that climate change still has something to do with the phenomenon. Researchers from the National Aeronautics and...
Why is Antarctic sea ice at record levels despite global warming?

Guardian: Antarctic ice floes extended further than ever recorded this southern winter, confounding the worlds most-trusted climate models. Its not expected, says Professor John Turner, a climate expert at the British Antarctic Survey. The worlds best 50 models were run and 95% of them have Antarctic sea ice decreasing over the past 30 years. The winter ice around the southern continent has been growing relatively constantly since records began in 1979. The US National Snow and Ice Data Centre...

Model year 2013 vehicles achieved an average of 24.1 miles per gallon (mpg), marking a 0.5 mpg improvement on the previous year. Average carbon dioxide emissions also fell to a record low of 369 grams per mile in 2013. According to the EPA, fuel economy has now increased in eight of the last nine years and has improved...

Fish failing to adapt to rising carbon dioxide levels in ocean
2014-10-05 18:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Rising carbon dioxide levels in oceans adversely change the behaviour of fish through generations, raising the possibility that marine species may never fully adapt to their changed environment, research has found. The study, published in Nature Climate Change, found that elevated CO2 levels affected fish regardless of whether their parents had also experienced the same environment. Spiny damselfish were kept in water with different CO2 levels for several months. One level was consistent with...
