Rise In CO2 Could Restrict Growing Days for Crops
2015-06-20 17:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: The positive consequences of climate change may not be so positive. Although plants in the colder regions are expected to thrive as average global temperatures rise, even this benefit could be limited. Some tropical regions could lose up to 200 growing days a year, and more than two billion rural people could see their hopes wither on the vine or in the field. Even in temperate zones, there will be limits to extra growth. Plants quicken, blossom and ripen as a response to moisture, warmth and...

Administration Proposes New Truck Emissions Rules To Reduce CO2
2015-06-19 18:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: The Obama administration announced new rules today that would require tighter emissions guidelines for medium and heavy-duty trucks in an effort to reduce greenhouse gases. The rules, proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), were expected to cut carbon dioxide emissions from trucks and vans by one-quarter by the year 2027. The proposed standards affect semi-trucks, large pickup trucks and vans,...

How Fast Will Rising Temperatures Shrink CO2 Storage?
2015-06-19 17:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: As human activity has increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, carbon cycling has helped to buffer against some of the greenhouse gas's warming effects. But over time, if carbon dioxide levels continue to increase, the planet will become progressively less able to sequester CO2 in the soil or deep within the ocean. Scott Doney, a senior scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, compares the scenario to an open faucet flowing into a basin (of air),...
