Scientists Raise Questions on Drought and Climate

Climate Central: When the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a report on April 11 that seemed to exonerate global warming as a cause of last summer's historic drought, a reasonable person might conclude that global warming had been exonerated. After all, NOAA is a highly respected organization, and the report's lead author, meteorologist Martin Hoerling, is a widely respected scientist. Judging by the reactions of other respected scientists, though, the idea that global warming is off the hook...

Scientists find Antarctic ice is melting faster
2013-04-15 08:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The summer ice melt in parts of Antarctica is at its highest level in 1,000 years, Australian and British researchers reported on Monday, adding new evidence of the impact of global warming on sensitive Antarctic glaciers and ice shelves. Researchers from the Australian National University and the British Antarctic Survey found data taken from an ice core also shows the summer ice melt has been 10 times more intense over the past 50 years compared with 600 years ago. "It's definitely evidence...

Scientists Map Swirling Ocean Eddies for Clues to Climate Change
2013-04-15 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Wired: In January 2010, a crew of scientists voyaged by ship from the southern tip of Chile into the frigid Antarctic to search for clues to one of the great unknowns of climate change. They planned to crisscross a remote patch of sea near the spot where, a year earlier, another crew had injected a tankful of an inert chemical one mile below the surface. The new crew had seven weeks of funding and good weather to sample the seawater throughout the region and discover where the chemical went. By mapping...

Scientists expect Arctic shrubs to spread fast amid climate change

Alaska Dispatch: A new study suggests the shift in Arctic vegetation due to climate change is underestimated. The studys lead author used a new method of computer analysis and determined tree and shrub cover in the far north, including woody shrubs in Alaska, will spread faster than previously expected.
