Business groups, lawmakers accelerate drive keep fuels out of California cap-and-trade program

2014-07-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ClimateWire: A political push is underway to block California's carbon cap-and-trade program from expanding next year to include motor fuels. State Assemblyman Henry Perea (D) on Friday stripped text out of one of his bills that was sitting in committee and replaced it with language that would put a three-year moratorium on adding fuels to cap and trade. That followed two weeks of oil companies, business groups and some California lawmakers sending letters to Gov. Jerry Brown (D) and the head of the state's...

Warm water likely to accelerate Antarctic ice melt and sea-level rise, Australian scientists find

2014-07-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Warm water is likely to increasingly displace cold water around the Antarctic coastline, prompting accelerated ice melt and more sea level rise, according to new Australian research. Scientists from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have modelled how shifting wind patterns can drag warm water currents right up to the base of the giant ice shelves. "What you usually have is cold water sitting next to the ice shelves at about minus 2 degrees Celsius and then warm water further out," said...

Antarctic winds could accelerate sea level rise

2014-07-08 13:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Blue and Green: Expected changes in Antarctic wind patterns may speed up global sea level rise, threatening coastal cities and low-lying countries around the world, a new study has warned. Climate scientists have already resigned to the fact that sea levels, driven by melting ice sheets and glaciers around the world, will rise. It will mean that entire countries will eventually be lost to the sea. However, now it is feared that coastal winds, which are thought to be strengthening because of a hole in the ozone...

Kudzu can release soil carbon, accelerate global warming

2014-07-02 15:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: Clemson University scientists are shedding new light on how invasion by exotic plant species affects the ability of soil to store greenhouse gases. The research could have far-reaching implications for how we manage agricultural land and native ecosystems. In a paper published in the scientific journal New Phytologist, plant ecologist Nishanth Tharayil and graduate student Mioko Tamura show that invasive plants can accelerate the greenhouse effect by releasing carbon stored in soil into the atmosphere....
