Newsweek: When the Senate voted Thursday to approve construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, the bill they passed was padded with a few extra measures. In an effort to get Republicans to make hard decisions on the Keystone XL bill, Democrats deluged the bill in recent days with amendments calling for hundreds of other concessions, mostly pertaining to climate change and environmental policy.

Senators voted 62-36 to approve the bill, but that is short of the 67 favorable votes needed to override a promised presidential veto. The debate over the Keystone XL bill has ranged far and wide.

Yale Environment 360: The crust under Iceland is rebounding as climate change melts the island's great ice caps, researchers report in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. The current rapid rising, or uplift, of the Icelandic crust is a result of accelerated melting of the island's glaciers and coincides with a regional warming trend that began roughly 30 years ago, the scientists said. Some areas in south-central Iceland are moving upward as much as 1.4 inches per year a surprisingly high speed, the researchers...

New research reveals extreme oxygen loss oceans during past climate change
2015-01-29 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: New research published this week reveals that vast stretches of the ocean interior abruptly lost oxygen during the transition out of the last ice age that occurred 17,00010,000 years ago. This event was the most recent example of large-scale global warming, and was caused primarily by changes in Earths orbit around the sun. Past climate events provide informative case studies for understanding what is currently happening to the modern climate system. For this research, marine sediment core records...
