Great Lakes Water Levels Are in Unusual Decline
2014-02-03 16:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: The Great Lakes share a surprising connection with Wisconsin's small lakes and aquifers -- their water levels all rise and fall on a 13-year cycle, according to a new study. But that cycle is now mysteriously out of whack, researchers have found. "The last two decades have been kind of exceptional," said Carl Watras, a climate scientist with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Water levels have been declining since 1998, Watras told Live Science....

BusinessGreen: Workers at the Sellafield nuclear site have been told to stay at home after "elevated levels of radioactivity" were detected overnight.

Non-essential staff are being told not to come to work, although this is described as a precautionary measure, and in a statement the site's operator said there was "no risk to the general public or workforce".

Methane levels rising as funding cuts threaten monitoring network
2014-01-30 21:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Levels of methane, a climate-changing greenhouse gas, have been rising since 2007. But U.S. federal budget woes are shrinking the monitoring network that tracks greenhouse gases such as methane, which comes from sources as varied as fracking and cow farts. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) monitors many potent greenhouse gases, such as methane, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, at observatories around the world. In the past six years, funding for part of the network ...
