Risk Australian Uranium In Indian Nuclear Weapons Spark Worries
2015-02-15 17:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Business Times: Australian uranium might end up in the hands of India as part of the countrys nuclear weapons program. Two experts on nuclear power believe the concessions agreed between the two nations could lead to this scenario. Ronald Walker, a former Australian ambassador and chairman of the international Atomic Energy Agency, said the Abbott governments deal to sell the countrys uranium to India has drastically changed Australias longstanding policy on safeguards. He added that the agreement has risked...

Study: Oklahoma's daily small quakes linked to energy drilling raise risk of big ones
2015-02-14 19:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Small earthquakes shaking Oklahoma and southern Kansas daily and linked to energy drilling are dramatically increasing the chance of bigger and dangerous quakes, federal research indicates. This once stable region is now just as likely to see serious damaging and potentially harmful earthquakes as the highest risk places east of the Rockies such as New Madrid, Missouri, and Charleston, South Carolina, which had major quakes in the past two centuries. Still it's a low risk, about a 1 in 2,500...
Rising emissions could dramatically increase risk of US megadroughts
2015-02-13 15:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Increasing greenhouse gas emissions drive up the risk of severe droughts, or megadroughts, in the US southwest and central plains, according to a study by NASA. According to the research, which has been published in the journal Science Advances, the current likelihood of a megadrought, defined as a drought lasting more than three decades, is 12%. If greenhouse gas emissions stop increasing by mid-century the findings suggest the likelihood of a megadrought could reach more than 60%. If the...
U.S. Drought Risk This Century Worst in 1,000 Years

Environment News Service: The worst persistent drought ever in the U.S. Southwest and Great Plains will parch the region during the second half of the 21st century, with the drying conditions "driven primarily" by human-induced global warming, new research predicts. "We are the first to do this kind of quantitative comparison between the projections and the distant past, and the story is a bit bleak," said Jason Smerdon, a co-author and climate scientist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, part of the Earth Institute...
