CO2 levels hit record high
2013-11-06 11:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has risen to a record high -- again. For the past nine years the UN World Metereological Organisation has produced an annual greenhouse gas bulletin, with each year notching up a record high for average annual levels, and figures published on Wednesday show 2012 was no exception. This isn't particularly surprising -- in September the UN's climate science panel, the IPCC, told us that atmospheric CO2 concentrations were at levels "unprecedented...
CO2 pollution levels at annual record high, U.N. says

Detroit Free Press: World carbon dioxide pollution levels in the atmosphere are accelerating and reached a record high in 2012, the U.N. weather agency said today. The heat-trapping gas, pumped into the air by cars and smokestacks, was measured at 393.1 parts per million last year, up 2.2 ppm from the previous year, said the Geneva-based World Meteorological Organization in its annual greenhouse gas inventory. That is far beyond the 350 ppm that some scientists and environmental groups promote as the absolute...
Fukushima horse breeder braves high radiation levels to care for animals

Guardian: Until March 2011, Tokue Hosokawa had only to peer through the window of his home in Iitate village to confirm that all was well with his 100-year-old family business. The 130 or so horses that once roamed this sprawling farm in Fukushima prefecture have sustained three generations of Hosokawa's family. Some were sold for their meat a local delicacy but his animals were better known for their appearances in commercials, period TV dramas and films, and local festivals celebrating the region's...

Study Finds High Levels of Carcinogens Downwind of Petrochemical Plants in Edmonton
2013-10-24 07:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Edmonton Journal: A newly published study says air downwind from a cluster of petrochemical plants northeast of Edmonton contains pollutants at levels equal to some of the world's largest cities. Other pollutants, including some known to cause cancer, also measured well above normal. And cancer rates linked to those chemicals were found to be higher in communities closest to the so-called Industrial Heartland. Although scientists don't definitively link the two, one of the report's co-authors said the findings...
