Monsoon Rains Decline as Humans Pollute the Atmosphere

2014-10-03 18:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

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...

Study says natural factors, not humans, behind West Coast warming

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...

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...
