Climate Change Imperils Efforts to Save Lynx from Extinction, Study Finds
2013-07-22 23:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: Almost 100 million euros (U.S.$ 130 million) has been spent so far on conservation efforts for the last 250 remaining Iberian lynxes in the wild, but the world`s most endangered cat species is likely to go extinct within 50 years because the management plans do not provide for the effects of climate change, researchers warn. Our models show that the anticipated climate change will lead to a rapid and dramatic decline of the Iberian lynx and probably eradicate the species within 50 years, in spite...

Survey finds strong support for carbon curbs
2013-07-22 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australia Associated Press: Almost two in three Australians support making big companies pay to emit carbon pollution, a new poll commissioned by an environmental group shows. The ReachTEL poll conducted for WWF-Australia also found more people supported a move to an emissions trading scheme (41 per cent) than opposed it (33 per cent). However there still wasn't a majority in support and a quarter of respondents were undecided which course of action was better, just days after Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced an early...

Fracking Chemicals Didn't Contaminate Water, Study Finds

Associated Press: A landmark federal study on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, shows no evidence that chemicals from the natural gas drilling process moved up to contaminate drinking water aquifers at a western Pennsylvania drilling site, the Department of Energy told The Associated Press. After a year of monitoring, the researchers found that the chemical-laced fluids used to free gas trapped deep below the surface stayed thousands of feet below the shallower areas that supply drinking water, geologist Richard...

Arcep finds no discrimination in Free-Google IP transit
2013-07-21 23:41:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) French telecom regulator Arcep has closed an IP transit investigation following a complaint by consumer association UFC-Que Choisir that access to Google's YouTube website had degraded for subscribers of ISP Free. The administrative inquiry aimed to clarify the technical and financial conditions for data traffic between Free and Google. Arcep confirmed that interconnection capacity of Free data log-jams at peak times, in a context of rising usage, a phenomenon being experienced by all ISPs. Nevertheless, the authority found no discriminatory behaviour in interconnection and IP data transit between the two companies, and therefore no violation of net neutrality.

Obama finds unlikely ally in climate change battle: China
2013-07-21 14:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: President Barack Obama has stumbled on an unusual partner in his quest to combat climate change: China. The world`s two biggest emitters of heat-trapping greenhouse gases are finding common cause in efforts to reduce global warming, cooperation the U.S. says could clear the way for other developing, heavily polluting nations such as India and Brazil to get on board, too. While skeptics question whether either nation will follow through on lofty aspirations, the budding agreements are nevertheless...
