Climate scientists step up search 'holy grail' million-year-old ice
2016-03-09 01:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The time capsule is ice that froze 1.5m years ago, capturing tiny bubbles of air, bringing a sample of the ancient atmosphere through time to the present day. There are already dozens of ice cores from Antarctica and Greenland. They are tubes of ice, sometimes several kilometres long, drilled from the ice sheet, which reveal a timeline of what the atmosphere was like over hundreds of millennia. Together those cores paint a detailed picture of the history of our atmosphere and climate. Theyve...
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...

Climate scientists face tight deadline to deliver 1.5C research
2016-02-15 18:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: The UN`s climate science panel faces a tight deadline to drum up research on a 1.5C global warming limit. Adopted as an aspirational goal at last December`s Paris summit, the 1.5C threshold is seen as critical to protect vulnerable communities. But most available analysis focuses on the longer standing 2C target. Accordingly, in the small print of the deal was a request to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for a special report on 1.5C, by 2018. That effectively gives researchers...

Australia May Fire 350 Climate Scientists Because Climate Change is Proven

Gizmodo: There are down sides to success. Australias national science industry has announced that, as far as theyre concerned, there is no longer any doubt that climate change exists--so they will no longer be funding research that seeks to prove it. They will, however, employ scientists to lessen its effects. Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, or CSIRO, recently put out a news release full of terms that employees dread. It includes terms phrases like embrace change, and...
