Arctic thawing could cost the world $60tn, scientists say

BusinessGreen: Rapid thawing of the Arctic could trigger a catastrophic "economic timebomb" which would cost trillions of dollars and undermine the global financial system, say a group of economists and polar scientists. Governments and industry have expected the widespread warming of the Arctic region in the past 20 years to be an economic boon, allowing the exploitation of new gas and oilfields and enabling shipping to travel faster between Europe and Asia. But the release of a single giant "pulse" of methane...

Has global warming stopped? It's just on pause, insist scientists
2013-07-23 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: Huge amounts of heat equivalent to the power of 150 billion electric kettles are being continuously absorbed by the deep ocean, which could explain why global warming has paused over the past 10 to 15 years, scientists have concluded in a series of reports to explain why the Earths rate of warming has slowed down. Global average temperatures are higher now than they have ever been since modern records began. However, after a period of rapid temperature increases during the 1980s and 1990s...

Climate change slowdown is due to warming of deep oceans, say scientists
2013-07-22 18:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: A recent slowdown in the upward march of global temperatures is likely to be the result of the slow warming of the deep oceans, British scientists said on Monday. Oceans are some of the Earth's biggest absorbers of heat, which can be seen in effects such as sea level rises, caused by the expansion of large bodies of water as they warm. The absorption goes on over long periods, as heat from the surface is gradually circulated to the lower reaches of the seas. Temperatures around the world have...
