Jordan Times: Dealing with the impact of climate change on Jordan offers opportunities for further investments in green economy, according to experts. Raouf Dabbas, senior adviser to the minister of environment, said Jordan has the option of proposing projects that build a green economy based on the capacities of fresh graduates, while the other option would be doing nothing to mitigate the impact of climate change. "It is for the benefit of Jordan to enter the battle of green economy," he said on Wednesday...

Wind farms' climate impact recorded
2016-04-25 16:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: In the first study of its kind, scientists have been able to measure the climatic effect of a wind farm on the local environment. The team said its experiment showed that there was a very slight warming at ground level and that it was localised to within a wind farm's perimeter. Data suggested the operation of onshore wind farms did not have an adverse ecological effect, the group added. The findings have been published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. "For a long time there...

Mr Bann draws on a tradition of telling "life stories" to build empathy, asking people to imagine themselves as an ancestor on an island in the Torres Strait, at the beginning of time. "This is your island and you grow old and you have children," he said. "Then for thousands and thousands of years your children have told the story of you: our ancestor who's...

Scientists express alarm at 'devastating' impact of climate change on coral reefs

Independent: Scientists have expressed alarm at the devastating impact of climate change on the world's coral reefs. More than a third of Earths reefs are now under threat due a process known as bleaching, in what could be the worst crisis ever to hit these vital ecosystems. Bleaching, where the symbiotic relationship between algae and small animals called polyps breaks down, can occur under heat stress and has been linked to multiple weather events including the latest severe El Nio phenomenon. The...

Climate forecasts underestimate sea-rise impact of Antarctic thaw
2016-03-31 15:08:02| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Sea levels could rise 50 cm (20 inches) more this century than had been expected, according to a report published on Wednesday which found that Antarctic ice will melt faster than previously thought. Climate scientists at two U.S. universities said the most recent U.N. report on the effects of global warming had underestimated the rate at which the ice covering the continent would melt. That report, issued in 2013, said the worst case of man-made climate change would mean a sea-level rise of...
