Reuters: Last year was Earth's hottest on record in new evidence that people are disrupting the climate by burning fossil fuels that release greenhouse gases into the air, two U.S. government agencies said on Friday. The White House said the studies, by the U.S. space agency NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), showed climate change was happening now and that action was needed to cut rising world greenhouse gas emissions. The 10 warmest years since records began in the...

2014 was hottest year in modern history: US scientists
2015-01-16 17:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Record-breaking temperatures scorched the planet last year, making 2014 the hottest in more than a century and raising new concerns about global warming, US government scientists said Friday. The much-anticipated report by scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was confirmed by an independent analysis from the US space agency NASA that reached the same conclusion. "Record warmth was spread around the world," said the NOAA report. "The globally averaged temperature...

2014 officially hottest year on record, US government scientists say
2015-01-16 16:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The numbers are in. The year 2014 after shattering temperature records that had stood for hundreds of years across virtually all of Europe, and roasting parts of South America, China and Russia was the hottest on record, with global temperatures 1.24F (0.69C) higher than the 20th century average, US government scientists said on Friday. A day after international researchers warned that human activities had pushed the planet to the brink, new evidence of climate change arrived. The world was...

Scientists Drill through 2,400 Feet of Antarctic Ice for Climate Clues
2015-01-16 15:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: Scientists have drilled into one of the most isolated depths in all of the world's oceans: a hidden shore of Antarctica that sits under 740 meters of ice, hundreds of kilometers in from the sea edge of a major Antarctic ice shelf. Humans have never glimpsed this place; reaching it required seven years of planning and 450 tonnes of fuel and gear. But understanding what is happening down there, so far from human view, will be crucial for predicting the future fate of Antarctica's ice sheets amid rising...

Human activity risking life on Earth, warn scientists
2015-01-16 12:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: A group of scientists have warned that human activity is destabilising the Earth system that we depend on, with four of the nine planetary boundaries now being crossed, potentially leading to serious risks and dangers. The researchers explain that the planetary boundaries concept, first published in 2009, identifies nine global priorities relating to human-induced changes to the environment. These nine processes and systems regulate the stability and resilience of the Earth system the complex...
