Chinas Lake Ebinur Is Shrinking Dramatically, NASA Image Shows
2014-11-25 20:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: As this NASA satellite image shows, Lake Ebinur, located in northwestern China near the border of Kazakhstan, has shrunk by 50 percent since 1955 as a result of development, agriculture, and natural fluctuations in precipitation. The lakes saline water is light blue, and the dried lake bed appears white due to salts and other minerals that have been left behind as the water evaporates. Lake Ebinur sits at the bottom of a drainage basin with no outlet, and is surrounded by mountains, farms, and settlements....

NASA findings show no excessive methane emissions from Alaska
2014-11-19 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Anchorage Dispatch: Though Arctic Alaska is warming and permafrost is thawing, the area so far has been spared from the scourge of excessive methane emissions, according to data collected by a NASA-managed research project. Concentrations of methane measured in the atmosphere over Alaska from May to September 2012 -- the first of five seasons for NASAs Carbon in Arctic Reservoirs Vulnerability Experiment, or CARVE -- turned out to be about equal to the global average for a similar-sized area. The findings, gleaned...

Nasa animation shows stunning year in life of carbon emissions
2014-11-19 13:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: This is what your atmosphere looks like in carbon dioxide (CO2). And its not a pretty sight. Nasa provides a stark and stunning view of a year in the life of our planet as humans continue to emit greenhouse gases that warm the planet. The animation comes courtesy of one of the highest-resolution computer models in existence. Since the industrial revolution, CO2 has been rising in the atmosphere due to human activities. Seasonal cycles mean that CO2 rises progressively throughout autumn and winter...
