Global Warming Takes Toll on US Economy, Not Just Environment
2014-06-24 21:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: The US economy may not be able to afford global warming if it continues to go unchecked, according to a major new bipartisan report released Tuesday. Among the economic costs climate change is expected to enact on the United States over the next 25 years are: $35 million in annual property losses from hurricanes and other coastal storms, $12 billion a year as a result of heat wave-driven demand for electricity, and tens of billions of dollars from the corn and wheat industry due to a 14 percent...

Justices rap EPA, but uphold global warming rules
2014-06-23 19:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: The Supreme Court largely left intact Monday the Obama administration's only existing program to limit power plant and factory emissions of the gases blamed for global warming. But a divided court also rebuked environmental regulators for taking too much authority into their own hands without congressional approval. The justices said in a 5-4 vote along ideological lines that the Environmental Protection Agency cannot apply a permitting provision of the Clean Air Act to new and expanded power plants,...

Global warming will serve up more pea-soupers

New Scientist: Stubborn urban smogs will become a common reality if the world keeps warming, with serious consequences for health. Daniel Horton of Stanford University in California and his colleagues analysed how temperature has historically affected weather patterns that blow away stagnant air. They then projected how global warming would alter these patterns over the coming century. The team focused on wind patterns at high and low altitudes, as these most strongly dictate periods of stagnation. Lighter...

Supreme Court Justices Limit Existing EPA Global Warming Rules
2014-06-23 16:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: The Supreme Court on Monday placed limits on the sole Obama administration program already in place to deal with power plant and factory emissions of gases blamed for global warming. The justices said that the Environmental Protection Agency lacks authority in some cases to force companies to evaluate ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. This rule applies when a company needs a permit to expand facilities or build new ones that would increase overall pollution. Carbon dioxide is the chief...

Global Warming Expected Worsen Air Quality Across the Globe
2014-06-23 10:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Softpedia: In a paper published in yesterday's issue of the journal Nature Climate Change, researchers explain that, according to evidence at hand, it is possible the air quality across the globe will take a turn for the worse in the years to come. Interestingly enough, Danile Horton with Stanford University in California, US, and fellow researchers maintain that, as surprising as this may sound, climate change and global warming will be the ones to cause this drop in global air quality. Writing in the...
