2015-02-04 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Minnesota Public Radio: As rains have gotten heavier, Minnesota farmers in recent years have been expanding a 150-year-old drainage system, pulling billions of gallons more water off soggy land and letting the state's corn and soybean fields thrive. They have laid thousands of additional miles of water-absorbing plastic tubes underneath their fields and, as a result, they have pushed upward the number of bushels per acre of the crops that dominate Minnesota's agricultural landscape. They have held their own and even flourished...

National Geographic: Rain has been soaking much of California this week, but the inches of much needed water are only a drop in the bucket amid the worst drought in the state's recorded history, experts warn. "The rain is welcome-it sure helps-but one good storm is not enough," says Jeffrey Lorens, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Western Region.

Monsoon Rains Decline as Humans Pollute the Atmosphere
2014-10-03 18:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: Emissions produced by human activities have caused annual monsoon rainfall to decline over the past 50 years, new research has found. In the second half of the 20th century, the levels of rain recorded during the Northern Hemisphere`s summer monsoon fell by as much as 10 percent, according to researchers at the University of Edinburgh. The scientists determined that emissions of tiny particles from human activities, known as anthropogenic aerosols, were the cause. Levels of aerosol emissions...
