Why Sewage Plants Are Especially Vulnerable to Climate Change
2013-05-02 16:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Atlantic Cities: f the subway disruption, and the housing damage and residential displacement, and the general psychological toll of Superstorm Sandy weren't enough, there's also the sewage. Approximately 11 billion gallons of untreated (or only semi-treated) waste spilled into waterways after Sandy, according to a new report from the environmental group Climate Central. The vast majority of that overflow occurred in the rivers and bays surrounding New York and New Jersey. Forgive us if we order sparkling the...

With Arctic sea ice vulnerable, summer melt season begins briskly
2013-05-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Scienc Monitor: After a record loss of summer sea ice in the Arctic Ocean last year, the 2013 melt season has begun at the top of the world, with ice vanishing in April at a faster pace than it did this time last year. Summer sea ice a key player in Earth's climate system and one whose decline is widely taken as a prominent sign of global warming has been shrinking in extent since satellites first started to build a consistent record of the ice in late 1978. Ice losses in 2007 set a melt-season record, only...

Burned rainforest vulnerable to grass invasion
2013-04-24 19:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: Rainforests that have been affected by even low-intensity fires are far more vulnerable to invasion by grasses, finds a new study published in special issue of the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. The findings are significant because they suggest that burned forests may be more susceptible to subsequent fires which may burn more intensely due to increased fuel loads. The research is based on an eight-year study involving experimental burning of three 50-hectare plots...

East Coast Rebuilding, But Vulnerable to Future Sandys
2013-04-17 22:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, local governments are rethinking how to best protect the U.S. coastline from storms and flooding, which appear likely to exert a larger toll as the result of sea level rise and climate change. The coast is now much less protected for the next storm, because Sandy's storm surge and winds destroyed dunes, flood walls and other barriers, said Joe Vietri, director of coastal and storm risk management for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, at a news conference here...
