Guardian: If the latest research is correct, our oceans are heating up much faster now than they have in the past 10,000 years. This is one of the conclusions that is drawn from a recently published paper in Science. The researchers (Yair Rosenthal, Braddock Linsley, and Delia Oppo) cleverly traveled back in time to explore how ocean temperatures have changed. Comparison of those temperatures to today's helped them quantify the impact that human greenhouse gas emissions are having on the planet. The story...
Oceans Warming Faster Than They Have Over Past 10,000 Years

Times: A new study finds that the oceans could be holding the missing heat from global warming. The experts at the U.N.`s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had a particularly pressing challenge as they prepared the newest assessment on global warming science, the first chapter of which was released in September. The problem was that the climate wasn`t acting the way they`d expected. In recent years, global greenhouse gas emissions had kept rising--hitting an all-time record in 2012. Yet...

Grist: Its conservatives favorite science-denying talking point: that global warming has slowed down, or even stopped altogether, over the last 15 years. Its bogus, of course. Read Chris Mooneys great feature for a full breakdown of how the myth has been spread. (Among other dishonest shenanigans, conservatives are using 1998 as their baseline because it was an unusually warm year due to El Nio.) But there is a grain of truth to it: Average global surface-air temperatures have been rising at a slower...

With just a couple of days until the iPad Air's official release date of November 1, the first batch of hands-on reviews have arrived. As the thinner, lighter, and smaller successor to the massively acclaimed iPad 4, the reviews for the iPad Air are exactly what you'd expect: universally positive.

A pair of breakthroughs in the field of silicon photonics by researchers at the University of Colorado-Boulder, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Micron Technology Inc. could allow for the trajectory of exponential improvement in microprocessors that began nearly half a century ago known as Moore's Law to continue well into the future, ...
