Scientists begin hi-tech quest for Arctic sea ice answers
2014-07-27 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: An international team of scientists plan to spend months watching ice melt. But although it will take longer and cost a lot more than watching paint dry, it will be much more interesting and rewarding. A sophisticated array of automatic sensors will allow scientists to conduct the longest ever monitoring program to determine the precise physics of summer sea ice melt in the Arctic. They plan to discover just how the Arctic ice retreats, the rate at which it melts, and the oceanographic processes...
Profile of academic feud: What do 97 percent of scientists believe about climate change?

ClimateWire: Academic disputes are different from bar fights. At a House hearing last month, someone suggested to Sarah Green that she meet Richard Tol, a climate change economist who had attacked her research moments before in front of a panel of lawmakers. Green declined politely, with a wry smile. Tol, a professor of economics at Britain's University of Sussex, had no idea Green was in the hearing room. The two have never met, although they have been tussling in obscure journals. The point of contention...

Scientists Identify Possible 'Tipping Point' of Global Warming
2014-07-24 22:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Scientists have long been concerned that global warming may push the Earth's climate system past a "tipping point," and a new study from Oregon State University (OSU) may have finally identified that threshold. According to the research, synchronization of climate variability in the North Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans is that tipping point - where rapid melting of ice and further warming may become irreversible. This is what happened a few hundred years before the rapid warming that took place...

Scientists converge to tackle climate change health problems
2014-07-23 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: A diverse group of researchers in fields from urban planning to infectious disease will come together in Brisbane today to talk about the risks to health from climate change. The group has been brought out by the Australian Academy of Science, with the help of an endowment from the UK Royal Society, to come up with solutions before health problems associated with climate change get out of hand.

Scientists blast Australian government moves dismantle environmental protections
2014-07-22 04:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: On Tuesday a prominent group of conservation scientists condemned the Australian government's recent moves to eliminate protections for native ecosystems, cut research funding, backtrack on commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and step up persecution of individuals and organizations that speak out on environmental matters. Convening in Cairns, Australia at its annual meeting, The Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC) issued a resolution in support of stronger laws...
