Scotts Miracle-Gro is moving away from a class of chemicals that some believe has decimated insects including bees and butterflies. The Marysville-based lawn and garden company is phasing neonicotinoids, or neonics, out of its popular Ortho brand of pest-control products.

CDC Warns Zika Is 'Scarier Than We Initially Thought', Deadly Virus Attacks Central Nervous Systems
2016-04-12 15:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: In a press conference, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that the Zika virus seems to be scarier than what they initially thought. This is after a Brazilian team of scientists discovered that it is possible for the Zika virus to trigger an immune attack on the central nervous system of adults. The mosquito-borne Zika virus outbreak happened in May 2015 in Brazil and Colombia. It quickly spread to more than 13 countries, according to the World Health Organization (WHO)....

She said the virus has been linked to a broader array of birth defects throughout a longer period of pregnancy. The geography range of the mosquitoes transmitting the virus also reaches farther northward, and now includes 30 states.

Global warming: Clouds may be less helpful than we thought
2016-04-09 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science Monitor: As global surface temperatures continue to rise as a result of human industrial activity, climate models may be overestimating the ability of clouds to curb climate change, new research has found. The study, published Friday in the journal Science, used newly available satellite technology to analyze clouds and determine the proportion of ice versus liquid water. This ratio has important implications for climate modeling, as it impacts the amount of solar radiation being thrown back into space....
Earth could become hotter than thought, study warns
2016-04-09 03:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Global warming could make the planet far hotter than currently projected because today's scientific models do not correctly account for the influence of clouds, researchers said this week. The study in the journal Science was led by researchers at Yale University and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. When climate scientists look ahead to how much the planet's surface temperature may warm up in response to a doubling of carbon dioxide -- a byproduct of fossil fuel burning -- they typically...
