Secondhand smoke: Nations producing less greenhouse gas most vulnerable to climate change
2016-02-05 11:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: The study shows that the highest emitting countries are ironically the least vulnerable to climate change effects such as increased frequency of natural disasters, changing habitats, human health impacts, and industry stress. Those countries emitting the least amount of greenhouse gases are most vulnerable. The majority of the most vulnerable countries are African and Small Island States. These countries are exposed to serious environmental change such as oceanic inundation or desertification....

Studies show impact of forest management and deforestation on climate
2016-02-05 07:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Two groups of researchers, one studying forests in Europe the other forests around the world, have found that forest management may not be the answer to slowing global warming that some had hoped, and that forests have other climate impacts that are not being taken into consideration when making global climate predictions. Both groups have published papers describing their studies and findings in the journal Science. In the first study, a team made up of French researchers obtained historical...

Groups Want To Know If Climate Change Caused Tasmania Wildfire
2016-02-04 22:48:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: With massive wildfires ravaging Tasmania`s ancient forests for more than two weeks, groups are now calling for official inquiries on whether climate change is partly to blame. As of Thursday, 70 fires remain active across this island state south of Australia, with 46 of them still out of control, according to Tasmania Fire Service. No lives have been lost, but what has been called the worst wildfire in the country`s history has burned more than 100,000 hectares (386 square miles), including up...

Australia's scientific agency to see job cuts for "ignoring climate change"

Xinhua: The Australian government and its national science agency have been accused of turning its back on fighting climate change, after the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) announced it would be cutting hundreds of jobs in the climate field. The move, labeled a restructure by the CSIRO, will result in jobs being shed in the Oceans and Atmosphere department as well the Land and Water sectors, and the scientific community and the federal opposition have on Friday expressed...

Climate Change Implicated in a Specific Extreme Weather Event
2016-02-04 17:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: Scientists have warned that even a few degrees rise in global temperatures can lead to increasingly severe storms. Now an international team of climate scientists has linked man-made climate change to historic flooding that hit the south of England in the winter of 20132014. Its the first time a peer-reviewed research paper has connected climate change to a specific flooding event. In an article published in Nature Climate Change, the team said that their climate model simulations showed that...
