TakePart: When the Soviet Union collapsed in the early 1990s, 112.4 million acres of farmland were abandoned as the country's collectivized farming system collapsed along with it. Over the next 20 years, that land became one of the largest areas in the world to sequester carbon. The region, known as a carbon sink, is equal to between 10 and 20 percent of the sequestration action of Russia's woodlands, which include vast tracts of boreal forests. Every year, the former farmland absorbs 42.6 million metric tons...

Shifting Earth Axis Causing Northern Pole To Drift Rapidly East Amid Climate Change
2016-04-10 09:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
News Oxy: The shifting Earth axis is causing the northern pole to drift rapidly eastward, and it looks like climate change is to blame. The discovery may have major implications for studies of ice loss and drought, potentially improving our ability to predict such changes in the future. Earth turns around an axis like a giant spinning top, according to ABC News. The places where that invisible axis intersects with the planet`s surface are the north and south rotational poles. Due to Earth`s wobble on its...

Regina Leader-Post: Prairie farmers in Canada are better positioned than some of their global counterparts to adapt to the realities of climate change, says a University of Regina professor poised to speak about that and other topics in Ottawa this week. "We`re well-placed because there`s been quite a bit of this move to more sustainable practices in the ag sector, but also because farmers have been adapting ever since they set foot on the Prairies," said David Sauchyn, senior research scientist at the Prairie Adaptation...
