Six Women Scale Europes Tallest Skyscraper to Protest Shells Arctic Drilling

EcoWatch: Climbers from Greenpeace successfully scaled the Shard in London, Europes tallest skyscraper, yesterday in protest against Shells plans to drill for oil in the Arctic. Six women began a bold free climb to the top of the building at 4:20 a.m., yesterday morning. When they reached the summit, at a height of 310 meters, they raised a huge banner proclaiming, "Save the Arctic." Greenpeace say the Shard was chosen because it sits in the middle of Shells three headquarter offices. The...

The Shard protest isn't just about the Arctic: it's a victory for women, says Greenpeace

Telegraph: It was going to happen eventually. Attempting to climb the tallest building in Britain must be on the to-do lists of all avid climbers in Britain, and the world for that matter.

Why not a mixture of men and women, or - as many people might have been forgiven for assuming - six men? "Why not women? These are the people who discussed it and up for doing it,"...

NBC: Six to eight times a month, a Sherpa airplane with special instruments takes off from Fairbanks, Alaska, in search of data to answer the question: Is global warming causing changes to the environment that inevitably accelerate the climate change? That is the suspicion of Charles Miller, principal investigator for a research project that is focusing on greenhouse gas emissions in the skies above the Arctic tundra, the vast treeless region that produces only grasses and low brush during the brief...

NASA experiment uncovers Arctic climate time bomb

2013-07-02 09:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

RTCC: The Arctic could prove to be a climate time bomb according to early results from a NASA experiment to monitor the release of greenhouse gases from thawing permafrost. With previous data on CO2 and methane released from the carbon rich soils imprecise, the Carbon in Arctic Reservoirs Vulnerability Experiment (CARVE) has been able to fill in the blanks with initial indications creating cause for concern. While it was known that the release of gases that had previously been trapped in solid ground...
