Global Warming Hiatus Never Happened, Scientists Say
2015-09-20 17:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Global warming has not slowed. The so-called hiatus remains just that--so-called. The world is warming as predicted and any apparent evidence that it is not doing so is a statistical illusion, according to U.S. scientists. They report in the journal Climatic Change that they applied rigorous, comprehensive, statistical analysis to the global temperature data and came up with this unequivocal conclusion. And although normally scientists like to spell out the caveats, the margins of error and...

Global warming pause never happened, scientists say

Washington Post: The climate science sphere has been wrapped up in a major debate for the past several years: over the global warming pause. But now, a growing body of research has some scientists saying that the case may, in fact, be closed. Theyre arguing that the pause never existed. The notion of a global warming pause, or climate hiatus, suggests that the rising of global surface temperatures has significantly slowed or even stopped during the past 15 years. The idea, which experts believe cropped up...

Scientists report earlier date of shift in human ancestors' diet
2015-09-15 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Millions of years ago, our primate ancestors turned from trees and shrubs to search for food on the ground. In human evolution, that has made all the difference. The shift toward a grass-based diet marked a significant step toward the diverse eating habits that became a key human characteristic, and would have made these early humans more mobile and adaptable to their environment. New evidence just published by a research team led by a Johns Hopkins University …

Scientists expect Hawaii's worst coral bleaching ever
2015-09-14 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Warmer-than-normal ocean temperatures around Hawaii this year will likely lead to the worst coral bleaching the islands have ever seen, scientists said Friday. Many corals are only just recovering from last year's bleaching, which occurs when warm waters prompt coral to expel the algae they rely on for food, said Ruth Gates, the director of the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology. The phenomenon is called bleaching because coral lose their color when they push out algae. The island chain experienced...
