Restoring saltmarshes, a cost-effective strategy to counteract the rise in sea level
2016-07-01 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Saltmarshes cushion the energy of the waves and act as natural barriers against high-energy climate phenomena. That is why restoring the currently occupied saltmarshes could be a cost-effective adaptation strategy to counteract the effects of the rise in sea level. This is one of the conclusions of a piece of research led by the UPV/EHU and which sets the time needed by several saltmarshes on the eastern Cantabrian coast to regenerate at less than 10 years. In the current scenario of global warming...

Guardian: Support for strong action on climate change is at its highest level since 2008, with much sought after uncommitted voters showing the strongest support, according to Galaxy polling commissioned by the Climate Institute. Despite that, voters were dissatisfied with both Labor and Coalition policies, with only 17% saying the Coalition had a credible climate plan and only 20% saying Labor did. Those findings fitted with an assessment of the main parties policies conducted by the Climate Institute,...

Every observatory in the world now reports carbon dioxide is at highest level in 4 million years
2016-06-19 14:34:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: One by one, the observatories sounded the alarm in the past few years--from the peak of Mauna Loa in Hawaii, and the top of the Greenland ice sheet--as the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere crept above 400 parts per million (ppm). The last alarm bells went off this week, when scientists announced that the Halley Research Station in Antarctica, as well as a monitoring post at the geographic South Pole, both located amid the most pristine air on the planet, have now passed the 400...
Climate change blamed for depletion of water level in Dumba lake
2016-06-18 23:34:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
My Republica: The existence of the mesmerizing Dumba lake located at Jomsom 9 is in peril. The rise in temperature, natural disasters and other human causes are being blamed for the depletion of water levels in the lake and deformation of soil in the surrounding areas. The lake situated at around 3,500 meters above sea level can be reached at an hour's walk from the district headquarters of Jomsom. The lake which is 400 meters in length and one hundred meter wide is assumed to be 10 meters deep. The water...
