When is it OK for scientists to become political?

National Public Radio: It's not everyday that a world famous climate scientist gets himself arrested in front of the White House. But that's exactly what happened to James Hansen in 2011 as part of a protest against the Keystone Pipeline. In the 1980s it was Hansen's highly respected work that helped people realize that the climate change we humans were driving was real - and really dangerous. For lots of folks, Hansen's movement from climate scientist to climate activist made him a hero. But to others, particularly...

Scientists sound the alarm in climate change report
2014-11-02 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: Climate change driven by the burning of fossil fuels is already affecting life on every continent and in the oceans, and the window is closing rapidly for governments to avert the worst damage expected to occur later this century, scientists warned in one of the loudest alarms yet sounded by the international scientific community. The report, to be issued Sunday, arrives as international negotiators prepare to meet in Lima, Peru, in December to establish parameters for an eventual agreement on...

Sunderbans' water getting toxic: Scientists
2014-11-02 02:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Times of India: Climate change is causing toxic metals trapped in the sediment beds of the Hooghly estuary in the Indian Sunderbans to leach out into the water system due to changes in ocean chemistry, say scientists, warning of potential human health hazards. They predict that after about 30 years, increasing ocean acidification - another dark side of spiked atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide - could in fact unlock the entire stock of metals like copper and lead gathered in the sediment layer, and release them...

Scientists prepare inexpensive, accurate regulatory tool track greenhouse gas concentrations
2014-11-01 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: A new technique using a pair of laser-based instruments could one day help scientists more accurately detect concentrations of the greenhouse gases considered responsible for climate change. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are refining a method using two frequency combs to indirectly measure the amount of carbon dioxide, methane and water vapor over a substantial distance. A single frequency comb...
