Warming 'pause' gives thought for scientists, sceptics
2013-09-24 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: A slowdown in warming that has provided fuel for climate sceptics is one of the thorniest issues in a report to be issued by UN experts on Friday. Over the past 15 years, the world's average surface temperature rose far slower than many climate models have predicted. According to projections, global warming should go in lockstep with the ever-rising curve of heat-trapping carbon emissions. But in recent years, warming has lagged. So, where has the missing heat gone? For climate sceptics,...

Guardian: Despite the enormous success of the environmental movement in the 1960s and 1970s, we have fundamentally failed to use each of those battles to broaden the public understanding of why we were battling. It wasn't just the power of environmentalists against developers, environmentalists against the oil industry. It was because we had a different way of looking at the world. Environmentalism is a way of seeing our place within the biosphere. That's what the battles were fought over. But we have failed...

NYT Criticizes Canadian Govt's Muzzling of Scientists to Protect Oil Sands

National Post: The New York Times editorial board is taking the Harper government to task for allegedly silencing publicly funded scientists, a strategy the Times says is designed to ensure oil sands production proceeds quietly. The strongly worded Sunday editorial comes as the PR fight over the proposed Keystone XL pipeline is heating up, with U.S. President Barack Obama yet to make a decision on whether to approve the project that would transport bitumen from Albertas oil sands to the U.S. Gulf Coast. Over...

Global warming 'hiatus' puts climate change scientists on the spot
2013-09-23 06:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: It's a climate puzzle that has vexed scientists for more than a decade and added fuel to the arguments of those who insist man-made global warming is a myth. Since just before the start of the 21st century, the Earth's average global surface temperature has failed to rise despite soaring levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases and years of dire warnings from environmental advocates. Now, as scientists with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change gather in Sweden this week to approve...

Climate change 'hiatus': scientists seek to qualify evidence of apparent global warming slowdown
2013-09-21 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: Authors of a landmark UN report on climate change remain adamant that humans are heating up the planet by burning fossil fuels and cutting down CO2-absorbing forests, despite data from the report suggesting a purported slowdown in global warming over the past 15 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes (IPCC) full 127-page document - due for release in Stockholm next week - is expected to suggest the link between human activity and global warming is clearer than ever, regardless...
