Guardian: Arnold Schwarzenegger, the one-time action hero fronting a blockbuster TV special on climate change next month, has financial ties to some of the worlds most destructive logging companies, an investigation group found on Tuesday. The former governor and climate champion is a part owner of an investment company, Dimensional Fund Advisers, with significant holdings in tropical forestry companies. A number of those forestry companies were implicated in highly destructive and illegal logging which...

Ancient Indonesian Climate Shift Linked To Glacial Cycle
2014-03-25 21:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Using sediments from a remote lake, researchers from Brown University have assembled a 60,000-year record of rainfall in central Indonesia. The analysis reveals important new details about the climate history of a region that wields a substantial influence on the global climate as a whole. The Indonesian archipelago sits in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool, an expanse of ocean that supplies a sizable fraction of the water vapor in Earth`s atmosphere and plays a role in propagating El Nio cycles. Despite...

Slower sea level rise linked to El Nino and natural weather patterns
2014-03-25 08:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RTCC: Slower sea level rise in the past decade is due to the influence of natural weather patterns and especially the El Nino cycle, scientists say. Climate change is causing sea level rise both through thermal expansion, where the sea expands as it warms, and through melting of glaciers and ice sheets, which is adding to the amount of water in the sea. But natural variation can change the rate of sea level rise from year to year. A particularly important short-term influence is the cyclical El...

Polluted air linked to 7 million deaths in 2012 - WHO
2014-03-24 18:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Air pollution killed about 7 million people in 2012, making it the world's single biggest environmental health risk, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Tuesday. The toll, a doubling of previous estimates, means one in eight of all global deaths in 2012 was linked to polluted air and shows how reducing pollution inside and outside of people's homes could save millions of lives in future, the United Nations health agency said. Air pollution deaths are most commonly from heart disease,...
