Monsoon Rains Decline as Humans Pollute the Atmosphere

Environment News Service: Emissions produced by human activities have caused annual monsoon rainfall to decline over the past 50 years, new research has found. In the second half of the 20th century, the levels of rain recorded during the Northern Hemisphere`s summer monsoon fell by as much as 10 percent, according to researchers at the University of Edinburgh. The scientists determined that emissions of tiny particles from human activities, known as anthropogenic aerosols, were the cause. Levels of aerosol emissions...

We can now remotely control paralyzed rats, letting them walk again: Humans are next
2014-09-25 19:20:09| Extremetech
In the void left by the anticlimactic World Cup exoskeleton adventure, other efforts to make the paralyzed walk again are recapturing the spotlight. Chief among them is Grégoire Courtine's research group at the EPFL in Switzerland, who have achieved tremendous advances in getting paralyzed rats to walk.

Study says natural factors, not humans, behind West Coast warming
2014-09-25 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Seattle Times: It has been a subject of debate for years: How much has global warming contributed to a documented rise in temperatures along the West Coast? A new study published Monday in a major research journal suggests the answer thus far, particularly in the Northwest, is: hardly any. An average coastal temperature increase of 1 degree Celsius since 1900 along the West Coast appears more likely to be the result of changes in winds and air circulation over the eastern Pacific Ocean, two former University...

New York Times: Earlier this summer, I was invited to write an essay on humanitys troubled relationship with the changing atmosphere for a special issue of Audubon Magazine centered on the Audubon Societys comprehensive new report on birds in a changing climate. The issue is now published online and in print and has a range of excellent features, including How Climate Change is Sinking Seabirds by Carl Safina, Why U.S. Forests Are Fueling Europe by T. Edward NIckens, Rethinking How We Think about Climate...

Humans damaging wild forests at "alarming" rate, maps show
2014-09-05 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The world's undisturbed forests are being degraded at an "alarming speed", researchers said on Thursday, as they released new analysis showing an area three times the size of Germany was affected by logging and infrastructure development in the last 13 years. Using satellite technology and advanced techniques, they found that more than 104 million hectares of intact forest landscapes were degraded between 2000 and 2013 - around 8 percent of the global total. "We can clearly see that business...
