For First Time in Nature Scientists Measure Heat-Trapping Effects of CO2
2015-02-26 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Scientists have long understood how carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere and contributes to global warming, but the phenomenon had not been directly documented at the earth's surface outside of a laboratory until now. Writing in the journal Nature, researchers present 11 years of field data on carbon dioxide's capacity to absorb thermal radiation emitted from the surface of the earth. The results agree with theoretical predictions of the greenhouse effect associated with fossil fuel combustion,...
Scientists Witness Carbon Dioxide Trapping Heat in Air in Real-Time Field Measurements

Associated Press: Scientists have witnessed carbon dioxide trapping heat in the atmosphere above the United States, chronicling human-made climate change in action, live in the wild. A new study in the journal Nature demonstrates in real-time field measurements what scientists already knew from basic physics, lab tests, numerous simulations, temperature records and dozens of other climatic indicators. They say it confirms the science of climate change and the amount of heat-trapping previously blamed on carbon dioxide....
Climate Change Will Hit America in Breadbasket, Scientists Say

NBC: Climate experts have seen the future of America's breadbasket and from their perspective, it doesn't look pretty. "I don't want to be a wheat farmer in Kansas in the future," said Harold Brooks, a senior scientist at the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Oklahoma. Brooks isn't a wheat farmer. He's a researcher who has analyzed how climate change could affect the weather in America's midsection, based on historical data and computer modeling. Last year, he and his colleagues found...

Scientists bring oxygen back to dead fjord
2015-02-23 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] More and more of the world's waters are seriously lacking oxygen. Could we use pumps to bring oxygen and thus higher life back into these waters? A Danish/Swedish research team says yes. They installed pumps in a Swedish fjord that showed a strong oxygen deficit and now they report that all the right oxygen-loving organisms have come back to the fjord. Lack of oxygen is a major problem in many of the world's waters. Both big oceans and small fjords are affected, an…
