Trash Burning Worsens Air Pollution

Nature World: Trash burning around the globe is worsening air pollution, pumping more emissions into the atmosphere than previously thought, according to a new study. More than 40 percent of the world's garbage is burned in such fires, emitting gases and particles that can substantially affect human health and climate change, estimates the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), which led the study. The study looks at pollutants such as particulates, carbon monoxide, and mercury that are emitted...

Climate News Network: American scientists have just confirmed that parts of Australia are being slowly parched because of greenhouse gas emissions, which means that the long-term decline in rainfall over south and south-west Australia is a consequence of fossil fuel burning and depletion of the ozone layer by human activity. Such a finding is significant for two reasons. One remains contentious: it is one thing to make generalized predictions about the consequences overall of greenhouse gas levels, but it is quite another...

UN panel: Warming worsens food, hunger problems
2014-03-31 09:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Global warming makes feeding the world harder and more expensive, a United Nations scientific panel said. A warmer world will push food prices higher, trigger "hotspots of hunger" among the world's poorest people, and put the crunch on Western delights like fine wine and robust coffee, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded in a 32-volume report issued Monday. "We're facing the specter of reduced yields in some of the key crops that feed humanity," panel chairman Rajendra Pachauri...
