Climate Change Is Altering the Global Heat Engine
2015-01-30 01:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Smithsonian: Climate scientists have been warning for a while that as the planet heats up, storms will become fewer but stronger. This trend has been seen in a variety of historical data tracking wind speed, rain and snow over the past century or so. Now a team of researchers has figured out why, and the explanation is firmly rooted in atmospheric thermodynamics. Global warming is intensifying the worlds water cycle, and that drains energy from the air circulation that drives stormy weather, say Frederic Laliberté...

Iceland Rising as Climate Change Causes Glaciers to Melt, Researchers Say
2015-01-29 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: The crust under Iceland is rebounding as climate change melts the island's great ice caps, researchers report in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. The current rapid rising, or uplift, of the Icelandic crust is a result of accelerated melting of the island's glaciers and coincides with a regional warming trend that began roughly 30 years ago, the scientists said. Some areas in south-central Iceland are moving upward as much as 1.4 inches per year a surprisingly high speed, the researchers...

British Belief in Climate Change on the Rise, Research Finds
2015-01-29 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Britons are more likely to agree the climate is changing than at any time in recent years, with nearly nine in 10 people saying climate change is happening and 84% attributing this somewhat or entirely to human activity, new research has found. Two-thirds say they are concerned by global warming. When asked to name major threats to the UK in the next two decades, 15% of those polled listed climate change without prompting, putting it in fourth position behind immigration, the economy and health....
