Pacific Current Change Slowed Global Warming - Scientific American
The extra ocean heat is coming from the atmosphere, said Braddock Linsley, an oceanographer at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University and lead author of the study.
"Because the ocean is in contact with the atmosphere, there's heat exchange between the atmosphere and the surface ocean," he said. "It seems that about 90 percent of the heat that should be in the atmosphere right now with all that extra CO2 [humans have emitted since 1999] has gone into the ocean.

Scientists warn that world must begin preparing for explosive global catastrophe | Daily Mail Online
The world is woefully unprepared for a massive volcanic eruption that could kill millions of people and destroy much of modern society, a leading group of scientists have warned.
In a new report on the risks posed by natural disasters, experts at the European Science Foundation concluded that large volcanic eruptions posed the greatest risk human survival.
They calculated that there is between a five to 10 per cent probability of an explosive eruption large enough to cause huge numbers of deaths, alter the climate and poison the atmosphere occurring by the end of the century.

TransCanada Corp.’s Energy East scraps plans for a Quebec port: report | Montreal Gazette
The Parti Québécois opposition welcomed news that TransCanada Corp. will not build an oil port in Quebec as part of its cross-country Energy East pipeline project.
The company originally planned to pump Western Canadian oil, at a rate of up to 1.1 million barrels per day, through to terminals in Cacouna and Saint John's, N.B.. The choice of Cacouna, the site of a beluga nursery, was met with a public outcry in Quebec.
TransCanada reportedly considered other locations—Lévis, Bécancour and Baie-des-Sables, near Matane—before ruling out a Quebec port, according to a La Presse exclusive citing unnamed sources.
"It's a beautiful victory for the preservation and sustainability of the belugas we have in the St. Lawrence River," the PQ's natural resources critic, Bernard Drainville, said in a news conference on Wednesday

Lawrie McFarlane: Alberta’s Prentice still not accepting reality
Prentice has plenty of room to cut. He leads the most extravagant, lavish, feckless government in Canada's history, by far.
And with Pierre Trudeau in the mix, that's quite an accomplishment.
Alberta spends $1,300 more, per person, than the national average. Budget tables show it spending 22 per cent more than B.C., per capita.
Indeed, forget per capita. Despite their smaller population, they outspend B.C., period.
Another inflection point? You know you're in trouble when Quebec leaves you in the dust.
La belle province just brought down a balanced budget, courtesy of, of all things, a Liberal administration. And in Quebec, "Liberal" actually means liberal, not conservative like B.C.'s governing party.
