Map shows the wildest land linking protected areas of the U.S

Wilderness: New research reveals key corridors that allow wildlife to move between protected areas of the U.S.--and explains why these places must be protected further. A paper published in the journal PLOS ONE by scientists from The Wilderness Society and other organizations identified the wildest corridors between national parks and other protected lands and suggested limiting development along these crucial "wild ways." With increasing development and ongoing climate change forcing plants and animals...
Rwanda: Turns Out You Do Need Weatherman To Know Which Way The Wind Blew
2016-05-30 22:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: Rwanda is known as "le pays des milles collines" EUR the land of a thousand hills. Weather varies by altitude; for farmers, detailed forecasts can make a huge difference. A key step to answering questions about the weather is to consult the historic record. But what if there were no record? That's the predicament that Rwanda faces. The civil war and genocide that devastated that country in 1994 also destroyed Rwanda's system for tracking weather. The result was that for a roughly 15-year stretch,...
Antarctic seas defy global warming thanks to chill from the deep
2016-05-30 17:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A persistent chill in the ocean off Antarctica that defies the global warming blamed for melting Arctic ice at the other end of the planet is caused by cold waters welling up from the depths after hundreds of years, scientists said on Monday. The Southern Ocean off Antarctica may be among the last places on Earth to feel the impact of man-made climate change, with a lag of centuries to affect waters emerging from up to 5,000 meters (16,000 ft) deep, the U.S. study said. Many people who doubt...
If climate scientists are in it for the money, theyre doing it wrong

Ars Technica: It's Memorial Day, all Ars staff is off, and we're grateful for it (running a site remains tough work). But on a normal Monday, inevitably we'd continue to monitor news from the world of climate change. Our John Timmer examined the claims that scientists are in it solely for the money in February 2011, and we're resurfacing his piece for your holiday reading pleasure. One of the more unfortunate memes that makes an appearance whenever climate science is discussed is the accusation that, by hyping...
Arctic Ocean methane does not reach the atmosphere
2016-05-30 04:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: 250 methane flares release the climate gas methane from the seabed and into the Arctic Ocean. During the summer months this leads to an increased methane concentration in the ocean. But surprisingly, very little of the climate gas rising up through the sea reaches the atmosphere. "Our results are exciting and controversial," says senior scientist Cathrine Lund Myhre from NILU -- Norwegian Institute for Air Research, who is cooperating with CAGE through MOCA project. The results were published...
