Yale Environment 360: The ocean waters off the Northeastern United States may get even warmer, and this warming may occur twice as quickly as previously thought, according to a new study by researchers for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The findings, based on four global climate models, suggest that ocean temperatures in that region will rise three times faster than the global average. Prior climate change projections for the region may be far too conservative, said Vincent Saba, a NOAA fisheries...

America's Food System Could Be More Vulnerable to Climate Change Than We Thought

Mother Jones: For billions of people around the world, the most immediate threat posed by climate change is at the dinner table, as staple crops face a steadily worsening onslaught of drought, heat waves, and other extreme weather events. The United States certainly isn't immune to these challenges; for proof, just look at California, where an unprecedented drought has cost the state's agriculture industry billions. Still, the conventional thinking among many scientists is that developing countries, particularly...
Carbon Storage Shortage? Tropical Forests Are Storing Less Greenhouse Gas Than Thought

Nature World: The world's tropical forests are storing less carbon than has previously been thought, scientists found in a recent study. It's important for us to have pretty solid estimates of carbon storage, as world leaders try to work out mitigation agreements, such as those at the recent United Nations Climate Change talks in Paris. As they do that, they need to know how much deforestation is affecting each region. In these new research findings, the researchers talk about forests where trees have been...

Greenland might be contributing more to sea level rise than we thought
2016-01-05 22:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: The Greenland ice sheet is starting to look a lot like the ice luge that ruined your New Year`s Eve. Except, instead of drunk faces at the end of it, there`s an ocean. And instead of cheap vodka flowing down its surface, there`s meltwater. It shouldn`t surprise you that Greenland is slowly melting away and will ultimately contribute to what could be catastrophic sea level rise (and if it does surprise you, then welcome to 2016 - you`re going to want to sit down for this). But until recently, the...
