Science points to new global warming source: sea
2013-08-25 15:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Oceans that grow more acidic through Man's fossil fuel burning emissions, can amplify global warming by releasing less of a gas that helps shield Earth from radiation, a study said today. And the authors warned the potentially vast effect they uncovered is not currently factored into climate change projections. Scientists say that Man's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions contribute to planetary warming by letting the Sun's heat through the atmosphere but trapping heat energy reflected back from...

Solar-powered travel: opening up new routes across sky, sea and land
2013-08-25 03:37:04| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The wings of the experimental aircraft arch more than 63 metres, the same span as an Airbus A340, but they look frail, supported on the airstrip by wheeled struts. They are covered in a patina of 11,268 photovoltaic cells, which look dark blue in the grey predawn. The four 10-horsepower propellers they power now start to spin silently. Bertrand Piccard, a 55-year-old explorer and psychiatrist, dons his helmet and oxygen mask and completes his final checks. The Solar Impulse quietly taxies forwards....
Loss of Arctic Sea Ice Spurring Changes in Vegetation and Habitat
2013-08-24 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Sea ice loss and warmer weather are causing major shifts in Arctic vegetation, according to a study published in the journal Science. The report is based on 10 years of data on the subject, and points to a number of key changes currently underway in the remote region of the world. One such change includes a shift in marine and terrestrial food chains. As sea ice disappears, sea ice algae, the foundation of the marine food web, is quick to follow. As a result, larger plankton appears to be thriving,...
