Liberty Voice: For a long time, it was believed that global warming will lead to colder winters, however, a recent study proves quite the opposite, According to a study, published earlier this year in Nature Climate Change, global warming may in fact lead to significantly warmer winters. According to James Screen, the author of the study, the previous theory about Arctic amplification was wrong. This theory suggested that winters in the future will be colder, since ice caps are melting and therefore exposing warmer...

"Additional crude oil production may pose risks to the quality and quantity of surface groundwater sources; increase greenhouse gas and other emissions; and increase the risk of spills," said the report.

Global Warming: Plants Absorbing More CO2 Than We Thought
2014-10-14 20:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Global warming may be slightly less devastating to the Earth than feared, as new research has found that plants can absorb more carbon dioxide than we previously thought. Climate models have grossly underestimated the power of our plants because they failed to take into account that when carbon dioxide (CO2) builds up in the atmosphere, plants actually thrive, become larger, and are able to soak up more CO2. As part of photosynthesis - a natural cycle that helps plants convert sunlight into energy...
