International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research Critique 139: Does Adjustment for Stress Levels explain the Protective Effect of Moderate Drinking on the Risk of Mortality?
2014-05-19 16:41:38| Daily beverage news and comment - from just-drinks.com
An inverse or reduced risk association between moderate alcohol consumption and total mortality has been reported in most prospective epidemiologic studies, even after adjustments for all known potential confounders such as educational level, job and health.

Greenland glacial melt is growing factor rising sea levels
2014-05-18 18:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Al Jazeera: Greenlands glaciers are far more vulnerable to climate change-induced warming oceans than previously thought, a report released Sunday by UC- Irvine and NASA glaciologists said. The study, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, reveals previously uncharted deep valleys stretching for dozens of miles under the Greenland Ice Sheet -- showing that there are no natural barriers to stop the melting. The findings echo a report released last week showing that glacial melting in West Antarctica...

Science Times: New predictions forecast an even more dire rising of sea levels during the centuries ahead as parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet enter an "unstoppable" process of retreat. Photo courtesy of Suma, CC BY 2.0. A growing sense of the inevitability of global warming has become a bit of a parlor game for world citizens from New York City to the south of France, where rising sea levels will someday bury coastal human settlements. Drawing on data collected by climate researchers, Pittsburgh-based...
Rising CO2 levels to cut key nutrients in global crops
2014-05-16 01:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Boulder Weekly: New research studying 41 strains of six different crops on three continents that was published May 7 in the scientific journal, Nature, shows that as concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide increase, the nutritional content of key food crops will drop, exacerbating hunger woes for millions of people worldwide. In some crops, concentrations of nutrients could drop by as much as 10 percent when CO2 levels rise to 500 parts per million by mid-century. Harvard University public health researcher...
Scientists to study Amazon rainforest fate if CO2 levels rise
2014-05-15 01:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A group of scientists from more than 20 institutions around the world will gauge the impact on the world's largest rainforest if a time comes when the planet has 30 percent more carbon dioxide (CO2) than today, according to a project launched on Wednesday. A large experiment including towers that will pump CO2 into plots of dense forests will be built in a region north of Manaus, in the Brazilian Amazonas state. Sensors and field observation will evaluate the reaction of the trees when subject...
