Record-breaking heavy rainfall increased under global warming
2015-07-08 17:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Heavy rainfall events setting ever new records have been increasing strikingly in the past thirty years. While before 1980, multi-decadal fluctuations in extreme rainfall events are explained by natural variability, a team of scientists of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research detected a clear upward trend in the past few decades towards more unprecedented daily rainfall events. They find the worldwide increase to be consistent with rising global temperatures which are caused by greenhouse-gas...

Epidemic of obesity, overweight linked to increased food energy supply
2015-07-03 21:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Obesity -- a global health problem -- is increasing in many countries in step with increases in the food energy supply, according to a study published in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization today. The study, by authors based in New Zealand and the United States of America (USA), analysed increases in the food energy supply and obesity in 69 countries (24 high-, 27 middle- and 18 low-income) and found that both body weight and food energy supply had increased in 56 (81%) of them between...

Water Usage Fracking Has Increased Dramatically, Study Shows
2015-07-02 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Oil and natural gas fracking requires 28 times more water now than it did 15 years ago, according to a study by the U.S. Geological Survey. The increased water demand is attributed to the development of new, water-intensive technologies that target fossil fuels in complicated geological formations, the researchers say. The amount of water used varies greatly with location, the study found. A fracking operation in southern Illinois, for example, can use as little as 2,600 gallons of water each time...
