Air pollution and impaired lung function prove independent risk factors for cognitive decline
2015-05-19 01:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Studies have shown that both air pollution and impaired lung function can cause cognitive deficits, but it was unclear whether air pollution diminishes cognition by reducing breathing ability first or whether air pollution represents an independent risk factor for cognitive deficit. Now a new study conducted by German and Swiss researchers has answered that question: air pollution directly affects cognition and is not mediated by lung function. The researchers, who analyzed data from a study of...

Climate Change May Put Power Grid at Risk in the West
2015-05-18 21:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The ravages of climate change could severely hurt the ability of utilities in the 11 Western states to generate power unless they climate proof their power grid using renewables and energy efficiency, something they are not prepared for, according to a new study. For nearly half of the Wests existing power plants, climate change could reduce their ability to produce electricity by up to 3 percent during an average summer and possibly up to nearly 9 percent during a decade-long drought, according...

Massive Antarctic Ice Shelf Faces Imminent Risk of Collapse
2015-05-13 16:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: An Antarctic ice shelf that is twice the size of Hawaii is at "imminent risk' of collapse and needs to be monitored carefully, a new study finds. The ice shelf--Larsen C--is located in roughly the same geography as the Larsen A and B ice shelves, which disintegrated in 1995 and 2002, respectively. Larsen C covers 19,300 square miles and is the largest shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula. If it melts, it could significantly raise global sea levels, said Paul Holland, the lead author of the study and...
Risk Management a Black steelworkers certified for promotions bias...

Black workers at a South Carolina steel plant are entitled to class certification on their job promotion claims, says a U.S. appeals court in overturning a federal court ruling on the issue for the second time. At the start of the complex litigation in 2004, there were 71 black workers out of a total of 611 employees in the Huger, South Carolina, steel plant operated by Charlotte, North Carolina-based Nucor Corp. and Nucor Steel-Berkeley, but only one black supervisor, according to Monday's ruling by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, in Quinton Brown et al. v.
