Home computers help scientists assess climate role in UK's wet winter

Guardian: Citizen scientists can help to solve a critical question raised by England's wettest winter in at least 250 years: was climate change to blame? Spare home computer time lent to researchers at the University of Oxford will allow an intensive modelling effort to determine whether global warming made the deluge more likely. The role of climate change in the downpours, that resulted in at least 1bn of flood damage, has been fiercely debated. The prime minister, David Cameron, told parliament he...

Scientists blend synthetic air to measure climate change
2014-02-26 19:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Scientists at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have produced a synthetic air reference standard which can be used to accurately measure levels of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere. This will greatly help scientists contribute to our understanding of climate change. A paper published in Analytical Chemistry describes how researchers at NPL have created a synthetic gas standard for the first time, which is comparable to the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) scale and can be...

Penguins suffering from climate change, scientists say
2014-01-30 12:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Press Association: Penguins are in peril because of extreme environmental conditions linked to climate change, research has shown. Two new studies highlight the plight of penguin colonies trying to cope with the effects of global warming in Argentina and Antarctica. At both locations, the beguiling birds face an uncertain future. Climate change is killing chicks from the world's biggest colony of Magellanic penguins at Punta Tombo, Argentina, by increasing the rate of drenching rainstorms and heatwaves, say scientists....

Scientists React To Obama's Declaration That Climate Change Is A Fact

LiveScience: An emphatic five words spoken by President Obama on Tuesday during the State of the Union (SOTU) address were bittersweet for some climate scientists. "Climate change is a fact," Obama said. Scientists have known human-caused climate change is real, and while Obama has never said anything to the contrary, his declarative acknowledgment of the phenomenon is important. "I applauded," after the remark, said Kevin Trenberth, a climate scientist at the independent National Center for Atmospheric...

Scientists: Geoengineering can't halt global climate change
2014-01-20 15:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BDN: Bad news on the climate front. It was already clear that we are very likely to break through all the "do not exceed" limits and go into runaway warming later this century, because greenhouse emissions have not dropped, are not dropping and probably will not drop. We did have a fallback position, which was to counter the warming by geoengineering -- but now the leading technique for geoengineering also looks like it will not work. In a paper published this month in Environmental Research Letters,...
