The Times Atlas of the World exaggerated the rate of Greenland's ice loss in its thirteenth edition last week, scientists said on Monday.
Scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) say Earth's deep oceans tend to absorb enough heat and hide it for about a decade. That action could explain periods when global warming slows even when satellite data show there's no change in the amount of energy trapped in the planet's atmosphere.
The deep ocean currents and circulations absorb the sun's heat before releasing it finally, putting global warming temporarily on hold as reported by scientists.
Leading British polar scientists charge the Times Atlas of the World was wrong to state that climate change had forced it to redraw its map of Greenland.
Earth's temperatures will likely stabilize for a period as deep oceans can absorb enough heat to conceal the effects of global warming for up to a decade, a new study indicates.
Our planet's deep oceans at times tend to absorb enough heat to mask the effect of global warming for as long as a decade - even in the midst of longer-term warming, scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) say.
Global warming is temporarily on hold as the deep ocean currents and circulations absorb the sun's heat before releasing it finally, scientists said on Sunday.
Deep oceans may absorb enough heat to mask the effects of global warming for decades as per a new study.
Earth's temperatures will likely stabilize for a period as a new study suggests that deep oceans may absorb enough heat to flatten the rate of global warming for periods as long as a decade.
A new poll found that Obama's approval rating was only 43 percent, largely because of his handling of the still-slumping economy. But on several key issues, Republican candidates like Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann were also unpopular, even within their own party.
The energy-thirsty United States is on the hunt for a game-changing energy source or energy usage technology -- and batteries and fuel cells are strong candidates. But their mass use could be 20 years away. Meanwhile, a conventional source may bridge that gap, or provide even more upside: natural gas.
Republican presidential debates and a rise in the number of natural disasters are influencing more Americans to believe that the world is warming, a Reuters/Ipsos poll said on Thursday. The percentage of Americans who believe in global warming rose to 83 percent in 2011, from last year's 75 percent, the poll conducted Sept. 8-12 found out.
A team of Florida scientists have discovered fossil of a giant crocodile from a Colombian coal mine.
Scientists in UK will create an artificial volcano that they hope will be capable of cooling down the Earth by pumping sulphate particles into the atmosphere.
In a new bizarre experiment, scientists will create an “artificial volcano” that can cool down the earth by pumping sulphate particles from its global warming effects.
Nobel Prize winning physicist Ivar Giaever resigned as a Fellow from the American Physical Society (APS) on Tuesday, condemning the group's official stand on global warming. In 2007, APS adopted an official statement on global warming, which said that the emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect the Earth's climate.
A new study by three non-profit climate research organizations has claimed that global warming is more likely to improve rather than harm human health.”
In order to forestall global warming, a new team led by British academics will investigate the feasibility of a geo-engineering project by building an artificial volcano that would inject particles into the stratosphere and cool the planet.
Two separate reports recently confirmed ice covering the Arctic Ocean is melting at an alarmingly fast pace.
While some who question manmade climate change accuse environmentalists of harboring a covert socialist agenda, some advocates claim the label proudly.
One of the few Republicans of Hollywood, Clint Eastwood, doesn't really care about who marries who, and feels that controversy surrounding gay marriage is pointless. In the October issue of GQ Magazine, Oscar winning director and charismatic actor says that everybody should be given a chance to have the life they want.
Al Gore is renewing his campaign to convince sceptics of the link between climate change and extreme weather events by means of a global multimedia event.
