Are California redwood trees the answer to global warming?
2016-07-06 12:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
MercuryNews: California's ancient redwood forests aren't just majestic and among the oldest living things on Earth -- a new study finds they are a particularly potent weapon against global warming. The towering trees remove and store more carbon from the atmosphere per acre than any other forests on the planet, including tropical rain forests, researchers found in a discovery that could influence everything from logging rules to how parks are preserved as the state grapples with climate change. "The story...

Warming worries for south polar penguins
2016-07-06 11:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Adélie penguins on an iceberg in the Antarctic. Scientists say that temperature rises in the Antarctic region could lead to serious decline in two-thirds of Adélie penguin colonies by the end of the century. A little climate change could be good for penguins, but too much could be very bad indeed, according to researchers in the US researchers. They predict that, by 2060, almost a third of all Adélie penguin colonies in the Antarctic region could be in decline. By 2099, almost two-thirds could...

Clear and present danger: Rapidly warming Arctic threatens Cold War radar sites

Alaska Public Media: A group of strategic Air Force radar facilities along the North Slope are at an accelerated risk of degradation. Erosion driven by climate change is happening decades sooner than the military predicted, and the plan now is to spend tens of millions of dollars to fortify in place. The 15 sites within the Long Range Radar program are designed to spot foreign aircraft heading into U.S. airspace or civilian planes that have gone off course. It is an expensive state of preparedness to maintain, with...
Warming unlikely to limit chances of UK soggy summers
2016-07-05 11:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: The UK is likely to continue to have soggy summers regardless of global warming according to a new study. Scientists say that greenhouse gases will cause a general rise in summer temperatures, over the course of this century. But they argue, it is random shifts in Atlantic storm tracks that determine whether our summers are hot and sunny or cool and wet. The study has been published in the journal Nature Geoscience. Key factors One of the big challenges for climate scientists is to...

Past presents warning on greater warming
2016-07-04 11:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Greenhouse gases are now being released at a faster rate than during the thermal maximum 56 million years ago. Reconstruction of climate events long before the Ice Ages shows that failure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions could eventually lead to temperatures rising by up to 10 degrees. If the distant past is anything to go by, then climate scientists may have under-estimated the hazards of greenhouse gases, and future global warming could be a lot worse than anybody thought. The calculation...
