Canadian Underwriter: XL Catlin will sponsor a new scientific survey to research the deep ocean, information from which will hopefully shed light on the potential impact of climate change and the risks that businesses, society and ecosystems will face in future. The XL Catlin Deep Ocean Survey delivered by Nekton Mission in partnership with XL Catlin and an alliance of ocean scientists, media organizations, business leaders, philanthropists, educationalists and civil leaders will research Earths least explored...

Expanding Antarctic Sea Ice Caused by Natural Climate and Not Climate Change
2016-07-06 08:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Learning And Finance: Antarctic sea ice study - The increase in sea ice in Antarctica, apparently in contradiction with some mainstream climate models, is largely explained by natural climate fluctuations. The cycle named Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation or IPO, had been shifting into a negative phase over the last century meaning ocean surface temperatures have cooled down. Son Nghiem of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California and team from NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)...

Mussels off the menu within 85 years due to climate change

Telegraph: Moules-frites and moules mariniere will be largely consigned to the pages of culinary history by the end of the century, scientists have predicted. The increasing acidity of the oceans due to climate change means that farming or fishing for mussels will be commercially unviable by 2100. Researchers at Washington University in Seattle have established that a mussel's ability to grip to a rock or rope is dependent on the acidity of the surrounding sea. The molluscs have to cling in place for...
Blind study fails to support climate change deniers

PhysOrg: Following Saturday's Australian federal election, Ms Hanson said her One Nation Party colleague Malcolm Roberts had "all the answers to this climate change BS we are being fed". University of Queensland School of Psychology researcher Dr Timothy Ballard recently completed a study that translated climate change trends into economics and demographics. "For instance, we took the figures for the shrinkage of Arctic Sea ice and turned it into a profit statement of the fictitious Supreme Widget Corporation,"...

Dark earth could herald a bright future for agriculture and climate
2016-07-06 00:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Revel Stoke Mountaineer: Dark earths benefit to climate is just one of its many exciting possibilities. It also enhances soils so they produce higher yields, helps retain water and prevents erosion. Feeding more than seven billion people with minimal environmental and climate impacts is no small feat. That parts of the world are plagued by obesity while starvation is rampant elsewhere shows part of the problem revolves around distribution and social equity. But agricultural methods pose some of the biggest challenges....
