Rapid Arctic melting only partly our fault
2014-05-07 19:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: The rapid warming and melting of the Arctic is only half our fault. While our greenhouse gas emissions are clearly a factor, the record melts of the past few decades are partly the result of huge waves of warm air emanating from the Pacific Ocean. The same region of the Pacific seems to be behind both the Arctic warming and the global warming "hiatus" of the last decade. That means we could be in for something unexpected: when global warming speeds up again, the melting of the Arctic might slow...

Volcanoes Partly to Blame for Global Warming 'Pause'
2014-02-23 19:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Cooling caused by volcanic eruptions accounts for 15 percent of the recent global warming "pause," the mismatch between actual warming and climate-model predictions, according to a new study. The slowdown in global warming, sometimes called a pause or hiatus, started in 1998, when Earth's average surface temperatures halted their feverish rise. The average rate of warming was 0.31 degrees Fahrenheit (0.17 degrees Celsius) per decade between 1970 and 1998, but dropped to 0.072 F (0.04 C) per decade...

Sun-dimming volcanoes partly explain global warming hiatus - study
2014-02-23 11:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Small volcanic eruptions help explain a hiatus in global warming this century by dimming sunlight and offsetting a rise in emissions of heat-trapping gases to record highs, a study showed on Sunday. Eruptions of at least 17 volcanoes since 2000, including Nabro in Eritrea, Kasatochi in Alaska and Merapi in Indonesia, ejected sulphur whose sun-blocking effect had been largely ignored until now by climate scientists, it said. The pace of rising world surface temperatures has slowed since an exceptionally...
