Alaska's Huge Climate Mystery - And Its Global Consequences
2016-06-04 23:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: Alaska makes up 18 percent of the United States' total area, the state stores 53 per cent of all of the nation's carbon. In recent years, climate scientists have grown increasingly concerned about a carbon problem in the far north. The fear is that with the higher latitudes of the planet warming extremely rapidly, that heat itself, and some of its consequences - such as raging wildfires in northern forests - could unleash a climate disaster. Perennially frozen northern soils, known as permafrost,...

Spring comes sooner to urban heat islands, with potential consequences for wildlife

ScienceDaily: With spring now fully sprung, a new study by University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers shows that buds burst earlier in dense urban areas than in their suburban and rural surroundings. This may be music to urban gardeners' ears, but that tune could be alarming to some native and migratory birds and bugs. Urban-dwelling plants around the globe typically get a head start on the growing season compared to their rural counterparts because of the urban heat island effect, the phenomenon in which...

A warming world means less water, with economic consequences

NPR: Villagers throw containers into a well to collect their daily supply of potable water after a tanker made its daily delivery in Shahapur, India, on May 13. India is in the midst of a drought. We often associate climate change with too much water - the melting ice caps triggering a rise in sea levels. Now a new World Bank report says we also need to think about too little water - the potable sort. High and Dry: Climate Change, Water, and the Economy examines the future effects of diminishing...

India is in the midst of a drought. We often associate climate change with too much water -- the melting ice caps triggering a rise in sea levels. But a new World Bank report says that it's too little water -- the potable sort -- that we also need to think about. High and Dry: Climate Change, Water, and the Economy examines the future...
