Burst Oil Pipeline In California Severely Corroded, Investigators Say
2015-06-04 21:49:30| Energy - Topix.net
The pipeline that ruptured and spilled more than 100,000 gallons of crude oil along the California coastline near Santa Barbara last month was badly corroded, according to federal investigators. The Pipeline And Hazardous Materials Safety Administration says preliminary findings indicate the pipeline was "experiencing active external corrosion," and that metal loss amounted to 45 percent of the pipeline wall where the pipe broke.

Blue and Green: The Union of Concerned Scientists has said that over the next 15 to 30 years, Mid-Atlantic communities and some of the most important cities on the US east coast will experience severe floods and high tides, as worsening climate change raises sea levels and causes more extreme weather. In a new report, Encroaching Tides: How Sea Level Rise and Tidal Flooding Threaten U.S. East and Gulf Coast Communities over the Next 30 Years, experts suggest that in the next 15 years cities including Miami Beach...

Climate impact of black carbon severely overestimated, says study
2014-09-26 12:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The global warming effect of black carbon, or soot, has been greatly exaggerated due to mistaken assumptions about the atmospheric altitude at which its particles are concentrated, according to a new study. Soot plumes belch from chimneys, stoves and forest fires, causing numerous health ailments and, it was thought, a contribution to climate change second only to carbon dioxide. But when recent observations about the atmospheric height of soot particles were used, a model simulation by the...
