Hundreds of Methane Plumes Spotted on Sea Floor
2014-08-25 07:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature: Plumes of bubbles streaming from hundreds of newly discovered sea-floor seeps between North Carolina and Massachusetts are likely to contain methane and could be adding as much as 90 tonnes of the planet-warming gas to the atmosphere or overlying waters each year, research published Sunday in Nature Geoscience suggests. An estimated two-thirds of the emissions emanate from sediments at depths where methane-rich ices may be decomposing due to warming waters along the ocean bottom, the researchers...

Numerous methane leaks found on Atlantic sea floor
2014-08-24 12:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceMag: And up through the ground came a bubbling greenhouse gas. Researchers have discovered 570 plumes of methane percolating up from the sea floor off the eastern coast of the United States, a surprisingly high number of seeps in a relatively quiescent part of the ocean. The seeps suggest that methanes contribution to climate change has been underestimated in some models. And because most of the seeps lie at depths where small changes in temperature could be releasing the methane, it is possible that...

Key to global warming slowdown held deep in Atlantic sea, says report
2014-08-22 13:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: The Atlantic and Southern oceans have been found to be storing excess heat in their depths, lowering global temperatures and confusing researchers who believed the Pacific Ocean was responsible for lowering temperatures. The findings, published earlier this week in the journal Science, have also discovered a varying planetary heat sink, which both slows down global warming and will cause it to accelerate in 15 years. Ka-Kit Tung, author of the paper and University of Washington professor,...
