Frozen Methane Chunks Not Responsible For Abrupt Increases In Atmospheric Methane
University Park PA (SPX) Feb 09, 2006Icy chunks of frozen methane and water are not responsible for the periodic increases in atmospheric methane recorded in Greenland ice cores, according to a Penn State geoscientist. The ice core samples from the Greenland Ice Sheet Project II cover the last 40,000 years and present a picture of the Earth's climate over that time span. Global Warming Is Most Widespread In 1,200 Years UK Study Finds 
Norwich UK (SPX) Feb 09, 2006Warm temperatures that have spread around the world are greater than those of any other period in the last 1,200 years, according to a study published in the United States. Medieval Diaries Point To Hot Spots Due To Global Warming 
Norwich UK (SPX) Feb 09, 2006Tree rings and ice cores also help scientists build up picture of global warming The temperature of the northern hemisphere has increased over a larger area in the last century than at any time in the past millennium a report published in Science reveals this week. |
Declining Snowpack Cools Off Co2 Emissions From Winter Soils
Boulder CO (SPX) Feb 08, 2006A recent decrease in Rocky Mountain snowpack has slowed the release of heat-trapping carbon dioxide gases from forest soils into the atmosphere during the dead of winter, according to a new University of Colorado at Boulder study. Targets Vital To Climate Battle 
London (UPI) Feb 07, 2006A post-Kyoto agreement to tackle climate change must include targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said Tuesday. Research Flights Probing Ice Particles In Clouds 
Darwin, Australia (SPX) Feb 6, 2006Pilots guided by a team of international climate scientists are now one week into a series of flights to obtain key data about tropical clouds. Preliminary results obtained from instrumentation on the Proteus - a space-age aircraft equipped with a suite of highly sophisticated sensors - reveal detailed images of ice crystals in high-altitude tropical cirrus clouds. |

Thousands Of Barges Could Save Europe From Deep Freeze
Edmonton AB (SPX) Feb 07, 2006It is ironic that one consequence of global warming is that Europe might plunge into a deep freeze. This possibility stimulated an unusual research project at the University of Alberta. Dr. Peter Flynn, the Poole Chair in Management for Engineers in the U of A Department of Mechanical Engineering, has studied whether down-welling ocean currents can carry more dissolved carbon into the deep ocean. World's Temperature Second Highest On Record In 2005: Japan 
Tokyo (AFP) Feb 02, 2006The world's average temperature rose in 2005 to its second highest level in more than 100 years in a sign of global warming caused by greenhouse gases, the Japan Meteorological Agency said Thursday. Polar Ice Sheets Could Start To Melt This Century 
London (AFP) Jan 30, 2006Global warming could cause ice at both poles of the Earth to start melting this century, driving up sea levels, according to a major study published Monday by the British government. |
Sat Portrait Of Global Plant Growth Will Aid Climate Research
Paris (ESA) January 31, 2006An ambitious ESA project to chart ten years in the life of the Earth's vegetation has reached a midway point, with participants and end-users having met to review progress so far. Harnessing many terabytes of satellite data, the GLOBCARBON project is intended to hone the accuracy of climate change forecasting. Two New Lakes Found Beneath Antarctic Ice Sheet 
New York NY (SPX) Jan 31, 2006The Earth Institute at Columbia University - Lying beneath more than two miles of Antarctic ice, Lake Vostok may be the best-known and largest subglacial lake in the world, but it is not alone down there. Scientists have identified more than 145 other lakes trapped under the ice. Until now, however, none have approached Vostok's size or depth. Of Mice Men Trees And The Global Carbon Cycle 
St Paul MN (SPX) Jan 26, 2006A team led by a University of Minnesota researcher has found a universal rule that regulates the metabolism of plants of all kinds and sizes and that may also offer a key to calculating their carbon dioxide emissions, a number that must be known precisely in order to construct valid models of global carbon dioxide cycling. |
