White House: Climate Change Poses Urgent Health Risk
2016-04-07 01:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Climate change is a major threat to human health, with extreme heat likely to kill 27,000 Americans annually by 2100, according to a report released Monday by the White House. The report, by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, outlines numerous ways global warming could devastate public health in the U.S. this century. Projected increase in deaths due to warming in summer (April-September) and winter (October-March), and net change in deaths compared to 1990 baseline period for 209 U.S....

Farmland Could Play Key Role in Tackling Climate Change
2016-04-07 01:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The earth's soil stores a lot of carbon from the atmosphere, and managing it with the climate in mind may be an important part of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to curb global warming, according to a paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature. "Climate-smart' soil management, primarily on land used for agriculture, can be part of an overall greenhouse gas reduction strategy that includes other efforts like carbon sequestration and reducing fossil fuel emissions, the paper's authors said....

Climate Change + Population Growth + Economic Expansion = More Severe Flooding
2016-04-06 19:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Already the most destructive and deadly of all natural disasters, science tells us that flooding events will increase in frequency and intensity with climate change. Meanwhile population pressures will continue to see more and more building in low-lying coastal areas and flood plains. Investment in adequate defenses will need to grow massively to protect against this advancing threat. The engineering challenge comes when excess water, usually from too much rainfall or melting snow, flows where...
