Hillary Clinton Comes Out Against Arctic Drilling
2015-08-18 16:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Journal: A spokesman for the Clinton campaign confirmed to National Journal that Clinton's tweet indicates that she opposes all Arctic offshore oil-drilling. Her announcement drew quick criticism from Jeb Bush, one of the major candidates for the GOP presidential nomination, a sign that energy policy will be a political battleground in the 2016 election. "Wrong," Bush said on Twitter in response to Clinton. "Being more-anti energy than Obama is extreme. We should embrace energy revolution to lower prices...

Arctic drilling approval threatens Obama climate legacy
2015-08-18 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: The Obama administration's final approval of Royal Dutch Shell's drilling for oil in Alaska's Chukchi Sea provoked an angry reaction on Monday from environmentalists who had come to consider President Obama a champion in the fight against climate change. The decision comes two weeks after the release of the United States' most aggressive attempt to limit greenhouse gas emissions, known as the Clean Power Plan, and just days after Obama announced he will visit Alaska later this month to highlight...

Associated Press: Hillary Rodham Clinton is voicing opposition to President Barack Obama's authorization for oil drilling in the Alaska Arctic and his delays on Keystone XL, in some of the clearest signs of the Democratic front-runner distancing herself from the president. Having agreed with him on most issues so far in her 2016 race, Clinton edged to Obama's left on climate change on Tuesday. In the course of a few hours, she announced her disapproval of his move to allow Royal Dutch Shell to drill in the Arctic...

President Obama Gives Shell Final Approval to Drill in the Arctic
2015-08-17 23:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Yesterday, President Obama said climate change puts Alaska at the "front lines of one of the greatest challenges we face this century," and yet today he approved Shells plans to drill for oil in the Alaskan Arctic. The President cannot have it both ways. Announcing a tour of Alaska to highlight climate change the day before giving Shell the final approval to drill in the Arctic ocean is deeply hypocritical. This approval means the Obama administration is leaving the fate of the Arctic up to Shell...

Methane and Climate Change: Arctic Bacteria Might Eat Methane?
2015-08-16 23:48:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Methane build-up in the Arctic is one of scientists' major concerns regarding warming Arctic temperatures. Along with melting poles and threatened species, the fear is that carbon locked in the soil will release as carbon dioxide and methane. But there might be some hope in this area. That is, Princeton University researchers and others recently published a report in The ISME Journal saying that bacteria that eat methane might allow most Arctic soil to absorb, not release, methane. According to...
