Urban Heat Climate Effects
2013-01-31 15:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: An urban heat island is a metropolitan area that is significantly warmer than its surrounding rural areas due to human activities. The temperature difference usually is larger at night than during the day, and is most apparent when winds are weak. The main cause of the urban heat island is modification of the land surface by urban development which uses materials which effectively retain heat. Waste heat generated by energy usage is a secondary contributor. As a population center grows, it tends...

Warming Soil Could Release Carbon, Enhance Effects Of Climate Change
2013-01-21 13:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Climate change could cause soil to grow warmer and release additional carbon dioxide into the air, enhancing the effects of global warming, a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change has discovered. The study, which was completed by scientists from the University of New Hampshire (UNH), the University of California-Davis (UC Davis), and the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), provides new insight into how microorganisms in the earth are influenced by temperature, though it also...

Queensland farmers say a State Government draft agriculture strategy ignores possible effects of climate change
2013-01-20 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Courier-Mail: FARMERS have accused the State Government of ignoring the impact of climate change on farms in a draft strategy paper on how to double agriculture by 2040. In a submission to the State Government, the Queensland Farmers Federation said the need for agriculture to mitigate the drivers of climate change and to adapt to a changing climate was missing from the agriculture strategy. "Over the next 30 years, there is likely to be significant changes to temperatures and rainfall over Queensland that...
