World of clean energy is possible by 2050 say scientists
2014-10-13 11:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RTCC: International researchers, in what they believe is the most comprehensive global assessment of clean energys potential, report that a low-carbon system could supply the worlds electricity needs by 2050. A global low-carbon energy economy is not only feasible, it could double electricity supply by 2050 while actually reducing air and water pollution, according to new research. Even though photovoltaic power requires up to 40 times more copper than conventional power plants, and wind power...
How scientists overlooked 2,500-square-mile cloud of methane over Southwest
2014-10-11 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Scientists have identified the largest hotspot of methane gas in the United States hovering over the Four Corners region of the Southwest, and the find could have big implications for how the country tracks its emissions in the future. Scientists first noticed the data years ago amid satellite measurements collected by the European Space Agency's Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric Chartography (SCIAMACHY) instrument. The SCIAMACHY instrument collected atmospheric data over...

Iowa scientists point to health effects of climate change
2014-10-10 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Globe Gazette: Iowans are feeling firsthand the effects of climate change, a coalition of Iowa scientists said Friday. Those impacts include heavy rain that contributes to flooding, weather extremes that carry health consequences for people with respiratory conditions, as well as contracting more insect-borne illnesses. The health concerns related to climate change were the main focus of a Statehouse news conference where lead authors released The Iowa Climate Statement 2014: Impacts on the Health of Iowans....

Worsening ocean acidification threatens humans and marine life, UK scientists warn
2014-10-09 10:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Rising carbon dioxide emissions are altering the pH levels of the ocean, with dramatic consequences for the marine environment and the people who depend on it, a group of British scientists has said. Experts from the Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh have warned, in a new report published by the UNs Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), that the current rate of ocean acidification is a grave threat to both humans and natural ecosystems. Acidification is already underway, scientists found,...
