Congo Basin Deforestation Contributes Rising Regional Temperatures
2014-04-15 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: As global temperatures are expected to rise by 2050, deforestation in the Congo Basin could exacerbate regional temperature extremes by a factor of half, according to new research. Current models predict that by 2050, Central Africa will be an average of 1.4 degrees Celsius hotter than it is today as a result of global greenhouse gas emissions, and deforestation will add 0.7 degrees Celsius to that figure, according to a study by University of Leuven in Belgium. Deforestation in the Congo Basin...

Pollution, Not Rising Temperatures, May Have Melted Alpine Glaciers
2013-09-03 09:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: Glaciers in the Alps of Europe pose a scientific mystery. They started melting rapidly back in the 1860s. In a span of about 50 years, some of the biggest glaciers had retreated more than half a mile. But nobody could explain the glacier's rapid decline. Now, a new study from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory uncovers a possible clue to why the glaciers melted before temperatures started rising: Soot from the Industrial Revolution could have heated up the ice. Scientists trying to understand...

With rising temperatures, infrastructure falters
2013-07-06 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: As the western U.S. continues to bake in 100-plus degree heat, the high temperatures are making pavement buckle and power lines droop. Vicki Arroyo of the Georgetown Climate Center talks about heat's effects on infrastructure, and how cities can adapt for increasing temperatures.
