Shifting Earth Axis Causing Northern Pole To Drift Rapidly East Amid Climate Change
2016-04-10 09:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
News Oxy: The shifting Earth axis is causing the northern pole to drift rapidly eastward, and it looks like climate change is to blame. The discovery may have major implications for studies of ice loss and drought, potentially improving our ability to predict such changes in the future. Earth turns around an axis like a giant spinning top, according to ABC News. The places where that invisible axis intersects with the planet`s surface are the north and south rotational poles. Due to Earth`s wobble on its...

Nations seek rapid ratification of Paris climate deal, 4-year lock

Reuters: Many nations are pushing for swift ratification of a Paris agreement to slow climate change and lock it in place for four years before a change in the White House next year that might bring a weakening of Washingtons long-term commitment. More than 130 nations with 60 leaders including French President Francois Hollande are due to sign Decembers pact at a U.N. ceremony in New York on April 22, the most ever for a U.N. agreement on an opening day, the United Nations said. Both China and the United...
Canada: Prairie farmers well-placed to adapt to climate change

Regina Leader-Post: Prairie farmers in Canada are better positioned than some of their global counterparts to adapt to the realities of climate change, says a University of Regina professor poised to speak about that and other topics in Ottawa this week. "We`re well-placed because there`s been quite a bit of this move to more sustainable practices in the ag sector, but also because farmers have been adapting ever since they set foot on the Prairies," said David Sauchyn, senior research scientist at the Prairie Adaptation...

Monsoon failure & climate change not only triggers for acute distress in rural India
2016-04-10 01:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Economic Times: Re-curring drought conditions in many parts of India are leading to starvation and distress migration. Rural poor are the worst victims of crop failure, compounded by a slump in construction activities and non-availability of work in the MGNREGA rural employment scheme. However, drought cannot be blamed entirely on monsoon failure or on climate change; a flawed agricultural policy is a bigger causative factor in the collapse of farm and dairy production in semi-arid regions. The policy approach...

Clouds May Be Contributing to Rising Temperatures and Climate Change

Wingate: Studying the make-up of mixed-phase clouds, they found that clouds today actually hold more liquid, instead of ice. So as the planet warms, these clouds have less ice available to turn to water, which is a problem, because water is good at reflecting sunlight away from earth, and we were kind of banking on this whole ice-to-water transition as a natural way to slow warming. "According to the study published Thursday in the journal Science, computer model simulations say there is more ice and less...
