Australia: 'Sleeper issue' of leaking coal seam gas fields may blow hole in emissions goals
2016-07-03 11:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Age: Locals say the bubbling of the Condamine River, which was highlighted when Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham set fire to it on Friday, is caused by a nearby CSG operation. Gas has long been touted as cleaner than coal and marketed as a "transition" fuel until the mass take-up of renewable energy becomes viable. But a growing chorus of voices from Australia and overseas is warning that any perceived benefits could easily be lost with just small leakages. Professor Peter Rayner from the University...

Antarctica ozone hole is healing sooner and faster than expected

Modern Readers: New research suggests that the ozone hole in Antarctica is getting smaller and growing to its full size later than it does in the year. According to the researchers, this healing process has been described as a victory in the fight against man-made climate change and the effects it has dealt on Earths ozone layer. The multinational team of scientists discovered in their study that the September-October ozone hole has become smaller, shrinking by about 1.7 million square miles in the all-important...

Gaping hole in ozone layer shows recovery, scientists say
2016-07-01 23:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: The troublesome tear in Earth's protective blanket is getting stitched up. A gaping hole in the ozone layer has been opening up over Antarctica each spring for decades. And now there are signs that the slow process of healing has begun, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science. Scientists credit this progress to the 1987 Montreal Protocol, an international treaty that phased out chemicals that eat away at the ozone layer, which shields our planet from deadly levels of...
