Unleash Chinese solar panels to fight climate change
2014-12-21 08:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Boston Globe: The Obama administration has further undermined its carbon-reduction goals by putting up a needless barrier to imported renewables. On Tuesday, the administration toughened existing tariffs on Chinese-made solar panels, which increase their cost to American consumers by 27 to 78 percent. At a time when the administration is seeking to prod the US economy to move away from fossil fuel reliance, making renewables artificially more expensive is precisely the wrong move. After years of false starts,...

Virtual model of Arctic to monitor human impact and climate change
2014-12-20 17:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RT: Russian scientists are working on a high-tech virtual map of the Arctic in order to keep track of climate change developments and monitor human impact on the area, in what may help pave the way for safer mining of the region's oil and gas reserves. The project is being developed by the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) in Novosibirsk. It will utilize a geographic information system analogous to GoogleMaps, called ITRIS, in order to simulate natural processes and monitor...

The study finds that deforestation increases global temperatures, causes a decline in average rainfall and a shift in its location, which impacts agriculture. That's something that President Joko Widodo should make note of, say environmentalists. The study, "Effects of Tropical Deforestation on Climate...

US should act as though climate change is certain

Oregonian: Has humanity's history of burning fossil fuels changed the atmosphere so much that it is causing the earth to warm? We can't be absolutely certain that the core conclusions drawn by the vast majority of the world's climate scientists are correct - that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is making the atmosphere a better insulator, thus increasing the earth's temperature, which, in turn, changes global climate. But neither can we know with absolute certainty that they are wrong. Nevertheless, there...
