Agence-France Presse: US scientists and legal experts are calling for a strong, international authority to regulate any man-made interventions meant to combat global warming, amid fears that the technology could be harmful to the environment. The field known as geoengineering is not currently regulated by any institution or treaty, Edward Parson, professor of environmental law at the University of California, Los Angeles, explained Saturday. "If some nations decide this year to embark on a crude untested experimental...

Scientists call 'geoengineering' tests find ways cool the planet
2015-02-15 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mercury: Scientists are so concerned about global warming that they're now calling for tests to find ways to cool the planet -- the first step toward exploration of a highly controversial field that sounds like science fiction. "Geoengineering," which is aimed at changing the climate by blocking the sun's powerful rays, may be necessary if society can't agree on how to stop carbon emissions that are heating up Earth, a panel of experts said Saturday in San Jose at the meeting of the American Association...

Daily News: America the beautifuls amber waves of grain could dry up and blow away if carbon emissions arent curbed, scientists predict. Unprecedented drought conditions, could leave much of California, the Southwest and Midwest dry as a bone by 2050 due to global warming, according to a study NASA scientists released Thursday. The epic dry spells would make current droughts look like a break in the clouds compared with the arid conditions predicted. Nearly every year is going to be dry toward the end...

MF Monitor: Last year was the warmest on record in California, its driest spell for more than 400 years but a new study says thats nothing compared to whats in store. In a paper, published by the journal Science Advances, researchers from Nasa and Columbia and Cornell universities warn that a vast swathe of the US, including the south-west states and the central plains, may face unprecedented drought conditions, unseen in the past 1,000 years. In about 35 years, the regions millennia-long natural cycle...

Scientists Bash EPAs Take On Burning Wood For Power
2015-02-13 22:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Huffington Post: A group of 78 scientists is criticizing an Environmental Protection Agency memo they say may dramatically undermine President Barack Obama's directive to cut planet-warming emissions. In a letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, a group that includes climate scientists, engineers, and ecologists criticizes a November 2014 EPA policy memo that discounts emissions generated by burning biomass, including plants, trees, and other wood products known as sources of biogenic carbon dioxide. Critics...
