2016-01-12 23:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Huffington Post: Quick, name a climate solution for cities which helps lower carbon emissions, protects vulnerable people who live there, and even helps students get better grades. Give up? The answer is urban forests and you're not alone if you didn't come up with the answer. After all, most of us see the trees woven into our city streets and parks as just a pretty, cinematic backdrop for urban life.

Researchers examined 175 satellite photos of giant icebergs in the Southern Ocean which surrounds Antarctica and discovered green plumes stretching up to 1,000km behind them.

Daily Beast: Back in March, I argued in The Daily Beast that Republican politicians were finally coming around on climate change. Romm believes that that the key figures pushing climate denial will be judged very harshly by history, in the category of Neville Chamberlain or people who were shills for the tobacco industry. At that time, at least some in the GOP had pivoted from a position of outright denial toward one that at least accepted that the world was warming, even if most stopped short of acknowledging...
