The Effects of Climate Change on Coral Reef Health
2013-06-05 15:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: Coral reefs are one of the most diverse ecosystems on this planet. They are home to numerous species of marine life and offer a plethora of benefits both to natural ecosystems and to the human population. Coral reefs bring in enormous funds to coastal countries through tourism, fishing, and discoveries of new biochemicals and drugs (Hoegh-Guldberg 1999). Additionally, they provide natural coastal protection and building materials (Hoegh-Guldberg 1999). However, coral reefs are experiencing massive...

The effects of global warming
2013-06-01 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Global warming is expected to have far-reaching, long-lasting and, in many cases, devastating consequences for planet Earth. For some years, global warming -- the gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere -- was a topic of heated debate in the scientific community. But the overwhelming consensus of researchers today is that global warming is real and is caused by human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels that pump carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and other greenhouse...
The shale revolution and its unintended side effects
2013-06-01 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Globe and Mail: "Drill, baby, drill" has been replaced by "Frack, baby, frack." That's supposed to be good for the planet, because fracking - the hydraulic fracturing of rock formations such as shale - releases great dollops of gas, whose carbon content is about half of that of oil. So bring it on. Electricity plants, cars, trucks and furnaces fed by gas should bring down carbon-dioxide emissions, preventing humanity from burning alive as global temperatures rise. Or so we are led to believe. The terms...
