Climate Change Forecast to Worsen U.S. Ozone Pollution
2014-05-05 19:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: Americans across the country face a 70 percent increase in unhealthy summertime ozone levels by 2050, find scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder working with one of the world's most powerful computers. This is because warmer temperatures, higher atmospheric levels of methane, and other atmospheric impacts of a changing climate, spur chemical reactions that form ground-level ozone. "It doesn't matter where you are in the United States -- climate change has the potential...

Texas Freezes Agency's Funding Over Release of Data Linking Fracking to Ozone Pollution
2014-04-15 14:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Observer: The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has consistently said that fracking has no significant impact on air quality, not in the Barnett Shale. Not in the Eagle Ford Shale. Not anywhere. It was news, then, when a TCEQ-funded study, performed by the Alamo Area Council of Governments, a San Antonio-area regional planning agency, suggested a link between oil and gas drilling and a recent surge in the region's ozone levels. Was TCEQ finally admitting that the fumes being belched out by gas...

Arctic's ozone hole is looking good
2014-04-14 21:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: With a boost from Mother Nature, the worldwide ban on ozone-depleting chemicals stopped Arctic ozone from disappearing and forming an "ozone hole" similar in size to Antarctica's, a new study finds. "It seems like we did just the right thing at the right time," said Susan Solomon, an atmospheric chemist at MIT and lead study author. "It's quite a success story." Looking back at some 50 years of Arctic ozone records, Solomon and her co-authors found no evidence that Arctic ozone levels have dropped...
