Study: How Deep, Old Waters Delay Antarctic Ocean Warming
2016-06-01 07:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: A new study revealed that surface water in the Antarctic ocean is being pushed northward, which allows the old,deep water to surface, delaying the effects of global warming in the Antarctic. A new study from the University of Washington and Massachusetts Institute of Technology revealed that ocean currents are the reason behind the delayed warming of the Antarctic Ocean while the rest of planet is significantly warmer. Previously, scientists believed that the delayed warming in the Atlantic...
Oceans delay warming of Antarctic waters: study
2016-05-30 21:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Deep, cold ocean currents from the North Atlantic blunt the effect of global warming on Antarctica and slow the rise of sea levels, according to a study published Monday. This icy insulation of the snowy continent -- covered by a sheath of ice up to four kilometres (2.5 miles) thick -- could last for centuries, the research published in Nature Geoscience said. That's good news to hundreds of millions of people in low-lying regions who are threatened by seas set to rise up to a metre by the...

East Africa: Lake Victoria Waters On the Rise As Climate Change Hits
2016-05-29 21:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
All Africa: Encroachment on wetlands, destruction of forests and poor agricultural practices have destabilised the ecosystem in the Lake Victoria Basin. Environmentalists say the heavy rains experienced in the past two years in the basin have resulted in a rise of the lake's water by a metre. East African Community environment ministers meeting in Entebbe recently heard that Uganda requires $405 million to mitigate the effects of climate change in the next five years. Rwanda and Burundi do not directly share...

Guardian: Fishermen and seafood suppliers struck a major deal on Wednesday that will protect a key Arctic region from industrial fishing for cod. Companies including McDonalds, Tesco, Birds Eye, Europes largest frozen fish processor, Espersen, Russian group Karat, and Fiskebt, which represents the entire Norwegian oceangoing fishing fleet, have said their suppliers will refrain from expanding their cod fisheries further into pristine Arctic waters. From the 2016 season the catching sector will not...
