FMCSA to Lower Random Drug Testing Level to 25% in 2016
2015-12-21 20:02:08| Trucking - Topix.net
The trucking industry will be able to randomly test 25% of its drivers for drug use during 2016, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced on Dec. 21. FMCSA indicated the change will go into effect Jan. 1. In the announcement, Scott Darling, FMCSA's acting administrator, indicated the agency based its decision after the positive rate for random drug testing fell below a 1 percent threshold for the three consecutive years of 2011, 2012, and 2013. The agency's administrator may choose to lower the minimum annual random drug testing percentage rate to 25 percent when the industry-wide random positive rate has been less than 1 percent.

Marshes Likely More Resilient To Sea Level Rise Than Thought, Study Says
2015-12-18 18:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Marshes may be more resilient to climate change and associated rises in sea level than previously thought, according to recent research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study shows that as levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide increase, more CO2 gets taken in by marsh plants. This spurs higher rates of photosynthesis and plant growth, causing marsh plants to trap more sediment above ground and generate more organic soil below ground, the researchers explain. The...
Report: 1.5°C limit Could Cut UK Sea Level Risks By More Than A Third, vs. 2°C
2015-12-16 11:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Concern over impacts of rising sea levels helped drive an unexpectedly ambitious Paris climate accord aimed at limiting warming to as low as 1.5°C. A report and maps published by research group Climate Central, linked to a recent scientific paper, point to some very different long-term consequences for United Kingdom depending upon the final warming level achieved. Current emissions reductions goals (Intended National Determined Contributions, or INDCs) connected with the agreement point to warming...
