Australian Foreign Minister says reef not in danger but what do her own scientists say?
2014-11-25 05:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Australias foreign minister Julie Bishop should apologise for claiming the Great Barrier Reef is not in danger from climate change, according to enough scientific evidence to form a small coral atoll. Sorry. Too glib? When the minister representing Australia at the next major United Nations climate change negotiations appears unwilling to accept the advice of her own government science and reef management agencies, then its time to worry. Indeed, one of the worlds leading marine biologists...
Greenhouse gases: More emphasis needed on ozone, methane impact, scientists say
2014-11-21 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: There is too much emphasis on carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas and other forms such as ozone, methane and sulphur dioxide should receive more attention, a group of scientists say. Writing a comment piece in the science journal Nature, the group argued that other forms of air pollutants contributed to one in eight deaths worldwide, and nearly 50 million deaths could be avoided by 2040 if emissions were cut in half. Other types of pollutants, such as methane, had a higher global warming potential...

Al Jazeera: Arctic conditions in eastern United States this week may have been the result of climate change-induced stressors on the jet stream that regulates weather over the northern hemisphere, according to meteorologists. Residents in a large swath of the country's east have been met with sub-freezing temperatures over the past week. And overnight Wednesday, more than 5 feet of snow descended on parts of western New York state. Media have referred to the strange weather pattern as the Polar Vortex and...

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider discover two new supermassive particles
2014-11-20 12:57:54| Extremetech
Clearly, we still have a lot more to learn about the universe: The Large Hadron Collider, famed for its discovery of the Higgs boson, has discovered two new subatomic particles. Known as Xi_b'- and Xi_b*-, the two particles had previously been predicted to exist by the formidable hypothesizing powers of particle physicists, and now they have been observed and confirmed by CERN's LHCb team.
