Daily Mail: Scientists are frantically looking for new ways to combat global warming. And now a team has created a sponge that absorbs carbon dioxide, which many scientists say plays a key role in heating up our planet. They believe that the polymer - a large molecule used in plastics - could bridge the gap between the use of fossil fuels and new energy sources such as hydrogen. Scientists have created a sponge that absorbs carbon dioxide. They believe that the absorbent material could bridge the gap...

Heritage Daily: The influence of climate on agriculture is believed to be a key factor in the rise and fall of societies in the Ancient Near East. Dr. Simone Riehl of Tübingen Universitys Institute for Archaeological Science and the Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment has headed an investigation into archaeological finds of grain in order to find out what influence climate had on agriculture in early farming societies. Her findings are published in this weeks PNAS Proceedings of the...

Yahoo: In what is now the Middle East, some of the most ancient, productive farming societies going back as far as 12,000 years ago had to deal with the powerful effects of climate change similar to what modern society fear today, according a new study. A team of German researchers working out of Tübingen University collected and examined over 1000 ancient grains of barley from 33 locations across the ancient breadbasket region of which once was the Ancient Near East. Samples ranged in age from 2,500...

Massive emission reductions needed by 2050 to limit climate change damage, reports UN
2014-08-11 13:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: A draft analysis of three UN scientific reports regarding global warming has concluded that by the year 2050, greenhouse gas emissions must be drastically reduced in order to avoid climate catastrophe. The report suggests that reduction targets need to be set at between 40% and 70% lower than 2010 levels in order to avoid long lasting global warming damage. Initially seen by Reuters, the report, published by the UNs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), comes ahead of a climate...

Poll: Scientific Consensus on Climate Change Hasn't Permeated the Public

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Despite the scientific consensus that global warming is occurring and caused by human activity, a new survey conducted for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette demonstrates that many Americans remain uncertain about the impact of climate change and the need for government action to address it. This is contrary to some polls suggesting wide support for steps to counter the phenomenon. David W. Moore, director of the iMediaEthics survey, said the results suggest that, because of flaws in methodology or wording,...
