Grist: Over the weekend, apocalyptic first person drive-throughs of burning hellscapes stormed through social media. Though they could easily be teasers for the next big disaster flick, this is no blockbuster movie. Its Californias drought-fueled wildfire season. The latest inferno making headlines is the Valley Fire, which burned through 61,000 acres in just 17 hours. The devastation spread through the mountains of northern Californias Napa and Lake counties, destroying 400 homes and sending three...

Indonesia orders action against land burning as haze chokes SE Asia
2015-09-15 05:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Indonesian President Joko Widodo called late on Monday for strong action against anyone caught lighting fires to clear forested land, as a worsening haze blanketed the north of the country and neighboring Singapore and Malaysia. Southeast Asia has suffered for years from annual bouts of smog caused by slash-and-burn practices in Indonesia's Sumatra and Kalimantan islands, but governments in the region have failed to address the problem. Air quality dipped to "unhealthy levels" in Malaysia and...
Burning All of the Worlds Fossil Fuels Would Completely Melt the Antarctic Ice Sheet
2015-09-14 16:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Heres another argument for keeping the worlds fossil fuels in the ground: If all the coal, gas and oil on Earth is extracted and burned, the Antarctic ice sheet will melt entirely, scientists warn in a new blockbuster study published last Friday in the research journal Science Advances. The mind-boggling point is that our actions today are changing the face of planet Earth as we know it and will continue to do so for tens of thousands of years to come. If we want to avoid Antarctica to become...

Burning all fossil fuels would 'eliminate' Antarctic ice, lift seas 58m: study
2015-09-11 20:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: Burning all available fossil fuels would "eliminate" the giant ice sheets of Antarctica and lift sea levels by 58 metres, enough to inundate major coastal cities, according to US and Europe-based researchers. The combustion of available coal, oil and gas reserves would result in 10,000 billion tonnes of carbon emissions, and ensure West and East Antarctic ice sheets are destabilised and would ultimately melt, the study published on Saturday in Science Advances found. While the process could...

Burning all fossil fuels could thaw Antarctica, raise seas: study
2015-09-11 20:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Burning all the world's fossil fuel reserves could thaw the entire Antarctic ice sheet and push up world sea levels by more than 50 meters (160 feet), over thousands of years, an international study said on Friday. Such a melt, also eliminating the far smaller ice sheet on Greenland, is a worst case of climate change that would inundate cities from New York to Shanghai and change maps of the world with much of the Netherlands, Bangladesh or Florida under water. "Burning the currently attainable...
