Last May two men blocked a freight liner carrying 40,000 tons of coal that was heading to the largest power plant in the Northeast. They have just stood trial and successfully invoked the necessity defense. They claimed that they saw no other option than to act to stop the delivery of this coal. The groundbreaking moment came less than an hour into the hearing when the District Attorney dropped all charges and made a statement agreeing with the two men and calling for more direction from ...This story is related to the following:Biodegradable Packaging |

Ocean algae can evolve fast tackle climate change: study
2014-09-14 19:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Tiny marine algae can evolve fast enough to cope with climate change in a sign that some ocean life may be more resilient than thought to rising temperatures and acidification, a study showed. Evolution is usually omitted in scientific projections of how global warming will affect the planet in coming decades because genetic changes happen too slowly to help larger creatures such as cod, tuna or whales. Sunday's study found that a type of microscopic algae that can produce 500 generations a...

PhysOrg: With a new analysis of land regions, ETH climate researcher are challenging the general climate change paradigm that dry regions are getting drier and wet regions are getting wetter. In some regions they are encountering divergent trends. Based on models and observations, climate scientists have devised a simplified formula to describe one of the consequences of climate change: regions already marked by droughts will continue to dry out in the future climate. Regions that already have a moist...

And even if Americans did what dietary campaigners urge and restricted themselves to a healthier 2000 calories a day, GHGs would not fall significantly. Martin Heller and Gregory Keoleian, scientists at the University of Michigans Centre for Sustainable...

Climate change concerns weigh Cape home-buying decisions

Boston Globe: About five years ago, Neil Leifer and Ellen Carno decided to build a vacation home on Cape Cod and wanted a place within biking distance of the fast ferry from Boston to avoid summer traffic. Provincetown was too busy, they said, so they narrowed their search to the Truro area. Friends told them to stay away from the ocean side of the Cape, saying the bay side is less prone to storm damage and erosion. The Newton couple had met people who were forced to move their ocean-side homes farther back...
