Yale Environment 360: The world's oceans are deteriorating more rapidly than scientists had thought due to rising carbon dioxide levels and associated warming, according to a new analysis by European scientists. By many indicators, ocean conditions are even worse than outlined last month by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's assessment report on the physical effects of global warming, the researchers say. Sinking oxygen levels, which could decline by 1 to 7 percent by 2100, increasing ocean acidification,...

Ocean Damage Worse Than Previously Thought

Climate News Network: Marine scientists say the state of the world`s oceans is deteriorating more rapidly than anyone had realized, and is worse than that described in last month`s UN climate report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). They say the rate, speed and impacts of ocean change are greater, faster and more imminent than previously thought--and they expect summertime Arctic sea ice cover to have disappeared in about 25 years. Scientific ocean expedition by National Oceanic and Atmospheric...

How climate change could make mercury pollution worse
2013-09-26 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Mercury pollution and climate change are both unintended consequences of burning fossil fuels for centuries. A new study finds another link between the two problems: Climate change has the potential to make mercury pollution worse. Mercury is a particularly persistent pollutant, and sticks around in surface waters and the air for centuries, said Dave Krabbenhoft, a researcher at the U.S. Geological Survey in Middleton, Wis. As a volatile metal, it vaporizes at relatively low temperatures, and...

Fracking and Flooding in Colorado: The More We Know the Worse It Gets

EcoWatch: The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) reported three new spills today from damaged oil and gas wells caused by the torrential rains and subsequent flooding that continues to batter the state of Colorado. Oil workers try to lift a storage tank for condensate that was knocked over by floodwaters from the Platte River at an oil well site near LaSalle, CO, on Friday, Sept. 20. Condensate is the mix of oil and water that is pumped out of the ground. The tank was intact and had not...
Everything About Climate Change Will Be Worse For Children

ThinkProgress: Over the last few weeks a flurry of studies have been released to coincide with the Fifth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment report, the most comprehensive scientific assessment of climate change. These include a clean air study saying a decrease in air pollution could save millions of lives, an Oxfam study warning about food shortages caused by climate change and studies saying both that global warming has slowed over the last decade and that the slowdown is only temporary. UNICEF...
