Relentless Rise of Two Caribbean Lakes Baffles Scientists

National Geographic: On a recent calm day, the surface of Lake Azuéi has no waves, not even any ripples. Pillars of pastel-colored concrete break the still surface, the tops of what once were houses. They are all that's visible of the community that once thrived here. Alberto Pierre, a skinny, wide-eyed 25-year-old, said the submerged village where he grew up wasn't even near the lake. "The water used to be many kilometers from here." Lake Azuéi, the largest lake in Haiti, lies about 18 miles east of Port-au-Prince,...

Climate scientists worry about the costs of sea level rise
2016-03-02 12:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: As humans add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, it not only warms the planet, but also raises the oceans. Ocean waters are rising for a number of reasons including thermal expansion of water (as water warms, it expands to a larger volume), as well as ice melt which then flows as liquid into the ocean. My next post will cover four recent studies that quantify how much ocean levels will rise in the future. However, here I will focus on the economic costs of rising seas. A paper was just published...

Scientists Protest Cuts and Commercialization at Australian Climate Center
2016-02-28 00:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Perched on a wild, windy promontory on the rugged tip of northwestern Tasmania, the tiny Cape Grim research station has been measuring airborne greenhouse gases since 1976. It is one of a handful of such stations in the world, and because the wind that reaches it has traveled more than 6,600 miles across the southern oceans, uncontaminated by cities or factories, the measurements are considered a baseline for tracking changes in the earths atmosphere. Now a decision by Australias science agency...

Mainstream scientists say a warming 'slowdown' occurred
2016-02-26 14:09:10| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: This graph shows a slowdown in rising temperatures until 2010. The black line shows temperatures as predicted by climate models, and the red line shows actual temperatures. Warming has recently increased, breaking historical records in 2014 and 2015. Graphic courtesy of John Fyfe. The global warming "hiatus," a controversy that spawned congressional hearings and thousands of skeptical blog posts before being curbed last year, is back. The "hiatus" refers to the observation that global warming...
