Climate Chaos by 2020...?

Scientists predict climate chaos as early as 2020 if greenhouse gas/co2levels continue to rise. Currently CO2 levels stand at 385 ppm (parts per million) and are rising at around 1.5 ppm each year. World temps have already increased by 0.74 C since pre industrial times.... CO2 levels at 400 ppm, will it is believed push temps upto 2 degrees C above pre-industrial levels, at which point dangerous climate consequences may occur...time is running out..

The Sun and Global Warming

The Sun should be coming out of it's cooler period within it's current 11 year solar cycle. During 11 year solar cycles the Sun goes through it's solar maximum and solar minimum periods (increased and decreased levels of solar activity). Scientists are baffled however, as the Sun doesn't appear to be getting warmer at present, when all predictions indicated that it should be. The last solar maximum was between 2000-2002( cycle 23 ). 2005 however, was still the warmest recorded year since the 1880's according to NASA.

UK gets go ahead for new coal fired power stations- disaster or not?

The government has given the green light for new coal fired power stations, which will have carbon capture and storage technology retro-fitted... but what if it doesn't work? Could spell disaster for the U.K's committment to reduce CO2 emissions.. read more

Antarctica melting?

Antarctica it seems has grown a little scientists state, but this is only because the hole in the ozone layer, which is slowly getting smaller has delayed the effects of higher greenhouse gas levels... unlike the situation in the Arctic

Arctic melting

Antartica Melting?

Scientists say that the West Antarctic ice sheet may take upto 1000 years to melt, which is good news...sort of, but it has collapsed before when CO2 levels reached 400 ppm in the atmosphere. This is a bit of a worry, as what the article doesn't mention is that CO2 levels are already at 385 ppm, up from 315 ppm since accurate measurements began in 1958. CO2 levels are rising at an average of around 1.5 ppm a year, which means 400 ppm could be reached in just 7 years time....What will happen to the ice sheet then, as this level of CO2 will surely bring with it an increase in sea temperature....?

As for Polar bears, which live in the Arctic, not the Antarctic, they appear to be getting smaller. The melting ice cap there, means they can't catch as much food as they used too, which is affecting their weight...

Antarctica melting?

This article refers to the potential collapse of the Wilkins Ice Shelf in Antartica, which may melt once CO2 levels get to 400 parts per million, a level that may be reached by 2050. This may be the best case scenario however as CO2 levels now stand at 385 ppm, and are increasing at around 1.7-2.3 ppm per year approx, meaning 400 ppm could be reached by 2017.... much sooner than suggested..?

Global Warming News

Future looks bleak for all of us as latest super computer forecast suggests that there is little better than a 50/50 chance of keeping world temperatures below disastrous thresholds of + 2 degrees above pre-industrial age, even if unprecedented reductions in Co2 levels are made immediately. World temperatures have already increased by 0.75 degrees since pre-industrial times. An increase of 2 degrees will have serious consequences for all of humanity... read more
