Scientists turn CO2 into stone to battle global warming

DNAIndia: Carbon dioxide is a key factor in global warming, and experts have long called for innovative "carbon capture and storage" (CCS) solutions. Scientists have turned carbon dioxide into stone in a matter of months by pumping it deep underground, offering a revolutionary new way of storing the greenhouse gas to tackle climate change. The pioneering experiment in Iceland mixed CO2 emissions with water and pumped it hundreds of metres (feet) underground into volcanic basalt rock -- where it rapidly...

30 years ago scientists warned Congress on global warming. What they said sounds eerily familiar

Washington Post: It was such a different time -- and yet, the message was so similar. Thirty years ago, on June 10 and 11 of 1986, the U.S. Senate Committee on the Environment and Public Works commenced two days of hearings, convened by Sen. John H. Chafee (R-R.I.), on the subject of Ozone Depletion, the Greenhouse Effect, and Climate Change. This is not a matter of Chicken Little telling us the sky is falling, Chafee said at the hearing. The scientific evidence is telling us we have a problem, a serious...
Global warming made Paris floods far more likely, rapid analysis shows

Mashable: The water is still receding along the Seine and Loire Rivers in France, with cleanup beginning in parts of Bavaria, but scientists are already out with a study showing that global warming made the floods at the end of May and early June far more likely compared to a climate that had not warmed due to greenhouse gas emissions. The analysis, which is known as an extreme event "attribution study," found that the probability of three-day precipitation extremes in April through June increased by at...

Coral reef tourism in danger as reefs struggle to adapt to warming
2016-06-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
IPS: A recent UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) report on world heritage sites in danger from climate change received widespread media attention after the Australian government requested the removal of a chapter on the Great Barrier Reef. However the Great Barrier Reef is not the only coral reef at risk from climate change. The report described how coral reefs all around the world are being directly effected by warming waters and acidification associated with changes in...

Unabated global warming threatens West's snowpack, water supply
2016-06-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inside Climate News: The snowpack in the Sierra Nevada, as well as mountains across the West, has been shrinking and threatening water supply as the globe warms. Low-elevation snowpack across the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada and the Cascades will disappear in the coming decades if global warming continues unabated, according to a new study. The changes will cause water shortages in the region and dry out forests and grasslands, the study's authors say. According to the research, the snow line--the altitude...
