Volcanic eruptions contributed to global warming pause, scientists claim
2014-02-23 20:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: The impact of volcanic eruptions on global warming could provide a new explanation for the so-called pause used by sceptics to deny climate change is happening, scientists have said. According to a study in the US, models for predicting the rate at which temperatures around the world would rise from 1998 onwards did not take into consideration the measurable impact volcanoes can have. Rather than contributing to global warming, eruptions release particles into the air that reflect sunlight...

Volcanoes Partly to Blame for Global Warming 'Pause'
2014-02-23 19:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Cooling caused by volcanic eruptions accounts for 15 percent of the recent global warming "pause," the mismatch between actual warming and climate-model predictions, according to a new study. The slowdown in global warming, sometimes called a pause or hiatus, started in 1998, when Earth's average surface temperatures halted their feverish rise. The average rate of warming was 0.31 degrees Fahrenheit (0.17 degrees Celsius) per decade between 1970 and 1998, but dropped to 0.072 F (0.04 C) per decade...

Planet, Oceans Burning Up: There is no "Pause" in Global Warming
2014-02-13 11:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Informed Comment: Climate change has not hit a "speed bump." The planet's temperature is not remaining steady and it certainly isn't cooling. Earth, especially its ocean, are heating up... and rapidly. Those are the findings and the consensus of the global scientific community. And a new study shows that the detectable slowdown of global surface temperature increases over the last fifteen years--a trend that climate change denialists have seized on to foment doubt among the general public--is, in fact, the result...

After two-year pause, Hyundai Motor poised to add new capacity
2014-02-11 00:25:36| Automakers - Topix.net
Chung's unofficial capacity freeze - aimed at giving factories and parts suppliers a breather after rapid growth over the past decade and pushing the focus on to improving quality - remains in place, but some executives now feel more confident about the quality of the group's vehicles.

Global warming pause due to trade winds in the Pacific
2014-02-10 12:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: A new study has revealed that a slowdown in global warming was caused by unusual Pacific trade winds that trapped heat underwater. However, it says that once the phenomenon stops, the warming will accelerate. The study, Recent intensification of wind-driven circulation in the Pacific and the ongoing warming hiatus, which was published in Nature, suggests that a slower rate of global warming since 2001 is due to strengthening Pacific trade winds over the past two decades. These helped keep the...
