Indias Resistance to Climate Change Gives Way to Deal

Fiscal Times: Environmentalists were alarmed a week ago by an interview Indias new environment minister gave to The New York Times, as it seemed to deal a serious blow to U.S. efforts to secure an international agreement on combating global warming. Prakash Javadekar, the Indian official, declared his governments first priority was to alleviate poverty and vastly improve his nations economy, which he said would necessarily involve an increase in emissions through new coal-powered electricity and transportation....

Australia's 2013 heatwave due to climate change, researchers conclude
2014-09-30 07:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: Record temperatures in Australia in 2013 were almost certainly caused by man-made climate change, five separate studies have found. Researchers from the University of Melbourne, the Australian National University and the University of NSW have concluded it is "virtually impossible" that the heatwaves that hit Australia in 2013 would have occurred were it not for carbon emissions caused by human activity. The reports have been published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society...

Greenland Ice Sheet more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought
2014-09-30 04:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A new model developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge has shown that despite its apparent stability, the massive ice sheet covering most of Greenland is more sensitive to climate change than earlier estimates have suggested, which would accelerate the rising sea levels that threaten coastal communities worldwide. In addition to assessing the impact of the increasing levels of meltwater created and spilled into the ocean each year as the climate continues to warm, the new model also...

California drought link greenhouse gases, climate change
2014-09-30 03:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
San Jose Mercury News: The stubborn high-pressure systems that block California rains are linked to the abundance of human-caused greenhouse gases that heat the oceans, according to a major paper released Monday by Stanford scientists. But two other new studies disagree -- saying there's no evidence that warming ocean waters are to blame for our drought. The dispute comes at the end of the state's official "water year," which closes Tuesday with less than 60 percent of average precipitation. California's major reservoirs...

Human-Related Climate Change Led to Extreme Heat, Scientists Say
2014-09-29 20:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: The savage heat waves that struck Australia in 2013 were almost certainly a direct consequence of the human release of greenhouse gases, researchers said Monday. It is perhaps the most definitive statement climate scientists have made that ties a specific weather event to global warming. Five groups of researchers, using distinct methods, analyzed the heat that baked Australia for much of last year and continued into 2014, shutting down the Australian Open tennis tournament at one point in January....
