ScienceDaily: Can naturally occurring processes selectively buffer the full brunt of global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human activities? Yes, find researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Johns Hopkins University in the US and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. As the globe warms, ocean temperatures rise, leading to increased water vapor escaping into the atmosphere. Water vapor is the most important greenhouse gas, and its impact on climate is amplified in the...

Penguins suffering from climate change, scientists say
2014-01-30 12:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Press Association: Penguins are in peril because of extreme environmental conditions linked to climate change, research has shown. Two new studies highlight the plight of penguin colonies trying to cope with the effects of global warming in Argentina and Antarctica. At both locations, the beguiling birds face an uncertain future. Climate change is killing chicks from the world's biggest colony of Magellanic penguins at Punta Tombo, Argentina, by increasing the rate of drenching rainstorms and heatwaves, say scientists....

LiveScience: An emphatic five words spoken by President Obama on Tuesday during the State of the Union (SOTU) address were bittersweet for some climate scientists. "Climate change is a fact," Obama said. Scientists have known human-caused climate change is real, and while Obama has never said anything to the contrary, his declarative acknowledgment of the phenomenon is important. "I applauded," after the remark, said Kevin Trenberth, a climate scientist at the independent National Center for Atmospheric...

Scientists to launch bio robots in Indian Ocean to study its interior biology

Guardian: Australias science agency has teamed up with its Indian counterpart to release bio robots into the Indian Ocean in order to revolutionise our knowledge of a marine environment upon which hundreds of million of people rely. There are already 3,600 so-called Argo floats free-floating sensors drifting around for a decade gathering data about the temperature and salinity of the ocean. But its just the physics, the CSIROs Dr Nick Hardman-Mountford told Guardian Australia. What we dont...

Black carbon in Pune, India, air a worry, say scientists
2014-01-26 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Economic Times: The amount of black carbon or soot, a potential cancer-causing substance, has been gradually increasing over Pune city since 2005, shows a study conducted by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM). Soot is a human carcinogenic which is considered second only to carbon dioxide in causing climate change or global warming. The research is still in its nascent stage, which means that scientists have still not been able to fix a maximum permissible limit for the substance. But scientists...
