Why a half-degree temperature rise is a big deal
2016-07-04 04:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Phys.Org: The Paris Agreement, which delegates from 196 countries hammered out in December 2015, calls for holding the ongoing rise in global average temperature to "well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels," while "pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C." How much difference could that half-degree of wiggle room (or 0.9 degree on the Fahrenheit scale) possibly make in the real world? The European Geosciences Union published a study in April 2016 that examined the impact of a 1.5...

Restoring saltmarshes, a cost-effective strategy to counteract the rise in sea level
2016-07-01 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Saltmarshes cushion the energy of the waves and act as natural barriers against high-energy climate phenomena. That is why restoring the currently occupied saltmarshes could be a cost-effective adaptation strategy to counteract the effects of the rise in sea level. This is one of the conclusions of a piece of research led by the UPV/EHU and which sets the time needed by several saltmarshes on the eastern Cantabrian coast to regenerate at less than 10 years. In the current scenario of global warming...
