Rain And Climate Influenced By Dust And The Microbes That Ride On It
2014-08-14 19:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Dusty air blowing across the Pacific from Asia and Africa plays a critical role in precipitation patterns throughout the drought-stricken western US. Today, a scientist will present new research suggesting that the exact chemical make-up of that dust, including microbes found in it, is the key to how much rain and snow falls from clouds throughout the region. This information could help better predict rain events, as well as explain how air pollution from a variety of sources influences regional...
Glacier Fluctuations Influenced by Temperature Rather than Weather, Study Finds

Nature World: At the height of the last Ice Age, the expansion and contraction of glaciers in Africa's Rwenzori Mountains were driven by air temperature, rather than precipitation, according to new research that carries with it a host of implications affecting glaciers today. The study, led by Dartmouth College researchers and financed by National Geographic Society and the National Science Foundation, supports the idea that many of today's tropical glaciers are shrinking largely because of a warming climate,...

The survey, commissioned by the National Climate Change Secretariat (NCCS), showed that only 39 per cent of respondents felt taking action on climate change was their responsibility. This compared to more than 55 per cent who felt that way in a previous survey. Responding to a question...
