Glacier Fluctuations Influenced by Temperature Rather than Weather, Study Finds
2014-04-16 22:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: At the height of the last Ice Age, the expansion and contraction of glaciers in Africa's Rwenzori Mountains were driven by air temperature, rather than precipitation, according to new research that carries with it a host of implications affecting glaciers today. The study, led by Dartmouth College researchers and financed by National Geographic Society and the National Science Foundation, supports the idea that many of today's tropical glaciers are shrinking largely because of a warming climate,...

Smog in India, China changing weather patterns in US, finds study
2014-04-16 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Al Jazeera: Man-made air pollution kills millions of people every year, but a new study suggests that poor air quality in India and China could be contributing to extreme weather patterns in the U.S. and Canada. The study by researchers at Texas A&M, the first of its kind to focus on smog in Asia, found that air pollution originating in the region almost certainly affects global weather patterns. How much of an effect, researchers say, remains to be seen. However, it is likely exacerbating problems already...

Softpedia: Study finds fracking sites cause more damage to the environment than previously assumed Earlier this week, researchers with the Purdue and Cornell universities released a new study bound to further fuel already widespread opposition against the practice of hydraulic fracturing. The study, published in Monday's edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, says that, according to evidence at hand, fracking sites cough out way more methane emissions than estimated. This...

Asian Pollution Impacts Pacific Storm Track, Study Finds
2014-04-15 23:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: A comparison of historical climate data has led researchers to conclude that man-made air pollution generated in Asia has an impact on the Pacific storm track, which influences weather around the globe. The Pacific storm track transports heat and moisture, acting as an essential driver of global circulation. Writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a multidisciplinary team of researchers details their work, saying that their comparison of air pollution rates from 1850...
