US - As strategies for energy security, investment opportunities and energy policies prompt ever-growing production and consumption of biofuels like bioethanol and biodiesel, land and water that could otherwise be used for food production increasingly are used to produce crops for fuel.
Revamped satellite data shows no pause in global warming
2016-03-06 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Climate change doubters may have lost one of their key talking points: a particular satellite temperature dataset that had seemed to show no warming for the past 18 years. The Remote Sensing System temperature data, promoted by many who reject mainstream climate science and especially most recently by Sen. Ted Cruz, now shows a slight warming of about 0.18 degrees Fahrenheit since 1998. Ground temperature measurements, which many scientists call more accurate, all show warming in the past 18 years....

Nanotechnology trial shows route to carbon negative cars
2016-03-03 11:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: Cars could become carbon negative with a technology developed by American scientists. Researchers from Vanderbilt and George Washington universities have shown how to convert carbon dioxide from the air into carbon nanotubes for use in batteries. Those batteries can run electric vehicles, according to their study published in the journal ACS Central Science. This unlocks this whole space of research, said co-author and mechanical engineer Cary Pint in a video explainer. Now you can take...
