Climate scientists see 'very rapid declines' in annual NOAA report
2014-07-19 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
NBC: Leading climate scientists on Thursday issued their annual physical of Earth, comparing the planet in 2013 to a patient that's only getting worse and highlighting problems with key vital signs: from record warmth in Australia and China to sea levels that continue to rise and Arctic sea ice in continued decline. The vital signs reflect "the largest changes that we've been able to witness in the historical record," said Tom Karl, director of the National Climatic Data Center, part of the National...

Scientists investigate Arctic sea ice melt with sensors & aquatic robots
2014-07-19 07:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: An international team of scientists have attached sensors to Arctic sea ice to measure this years summer melt in a massive, unprecedented experiment. The study will focus on the so-called marginal ice zone north of Alaska and Canada, the region that lies between the solid Arctic ice and the open water out to sea. Scientists will use the sensors, placed both above and below the ice, to investigate the various impacts that open water can have on sea ice. Open water can, for example, expose...

It's most likely going to kill us all, but it's fun to watch. The scientists had written a letter to Scott earlier in the week, requesting a sitdown with the...
US scientists push ahead with memory-boosting brain implants, but we still have to crack the brains code first

As the latest effort to build some kind of implantable "memory bridge" now takes form at Lawrence Livermore National Labs (LLNL), we might ask -- can such a device actually work?
