2013-01-08 20:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: It's official: 2012 was the warmest year on record in the lower 48 states, as the country experienced blistering spring and summer heat, tinderbox fire weather conditions amid a widespread drought, and one of the worst storms to ever strike the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 2012 had an average temperature of 55.3°F, which eclipsed 1998, the previous record holder, by 1°F. That was just off Climate Central's calculation in mid-December,...

Bridge To Nowhere? NOAA Confirms High Methane Leakage Rate Up To 9% From Gas Fields, Gutting Climate Benefit
2013-01-05 19:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: Researchers with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have reconfirmed earlier findings of high rates of methane leakage from natural gas fields. If these findings are replicated elsewhere, they would utterly vitiate the climate benefit of natural gas, even when used to switch off coal. Indeed, if the previous findings - of 4% methane leakage over a Colorado gas field - were a bombshell, then the new measurements reported by the journal Nature are thermonuclear: ... the...
