Coal could have innovated and iterated to a greener future
2016-06-04 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Slate: Coal is getting killed in the U.S. That's largely because its main customer, the electricity industry, is switching to fuels or sources that are either cheaper or cleaner (or both), like natural gas and renewables. In March, for example, coal accounted for only 24 percent of electricity generated down in the U.S.--that's down from 33 percent in March 2015 and from 41 percent in March 2014. So far this year, U.S. coal production is just two-thirds of what is was last year. Coal is being massacred...
Teslas Are Greener But Are Still Cars

Clean Technica: Teslas are much more benign environmentally than gasoline or diesel cars, but they are still typically single-occupant automobiles. Given the continued dominance of automobiles as the primary form of transportation in most countries, even in train-mad Europe as the chart shows, it`s critical to reduce the impact of them. The best information currently available about the relative climate change merits of electric vs gas cars is from a two-year study by the Union of Concerned Scientists of the...

Cowboy Poetry: Greener Pasture by Tom Smith
2016-05-08 01:11:00| Beef
By Tom Smith I wrote this for my father, an active rancher until about a month past his 80th birthday, when he began a five-year downhill slide. He went Home seven years ago last March. I had to put in the waiting dogs, because he raised some of the finest Catahoula Leopard cow dogs in the country, and had a special bond with several of them. Its also for 2 other close friends/mentors who passed just before he did. read more
Earth getting greener due to carbon dioxide fertilization
2016-04-27 03:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Zee News: A new study has revealed the Earth is getting significant greening over the last 35 years and it is mainly due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). Studies have shown that a quarter to half of the Earth's vegetated land are now showing signs of increased leaf cover, with the majority caused by extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Green leaves use energy from sunlight through photosynthesis to chemically combine carbon dioxide drawn in from the air with water and nutrients...

Increase In CO2 Is Literally Making The Earth Greener
2016-04-26 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Kabylie: However, did you know that these increasing carbon dioxide levels may be contributing to the greenery across the globe. The report estimates the global Carbon dioxide fertilization effect on the world's crops is worth roughly $140 billion a year. This means that if other complications of global warming to not interfere, chances are that increased concentrations of Carbon dioxide could help mitigate the shortfall in crop production and reduction on green cover in some areas. Dr Tristan Quaife,...
