Mother Nature Network: I have been turning a story over in my mind all day. I believe that climate change is real. I believe that there are solutions that we can embrace and put into practice that will lessen the impact of climate change, and I join in those solutions where I can. Most days, Im actively working toward that without dwelling on the possibility that my efforts along with the efforts of millions of other people might not be enough. Its who I am. Im an optimist. Im a creative type who sees possibilities...

Scientists to study Amazon rainforest fate if CO2 levels rise
2014-05-15 01:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A group of scientists from more than 20 institutions around the world will gauge the impact on the world's largest rainforest if a time comes when the planet has 30 percent more carbon dioxide (CO2) than today, according to a project launched on Wednesday. A large experiment including towers that will pump CO2 into plots of dense forests will be built in a region north of Manaus, in the Brazilian Amazonas state. Sensors and field observation will evaluate the reaction of the trees when subject...

Typhoons Moving Toward Poles, Scientists Say
2014-05-14 21:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: Tropical storms appear headed for the Poles, peaking in ferocity at successively higher latitudes over the past three decades, according to a new study in the journal Nature. elated: "Hurricanes 101.") Climate scientists generally predict that tropical storms (called hurricanes, typhoons, or cyclones, depending on the ocean where they form) will increase in power but decline in frequency in coming decades due to global warming. But the storms also appear to be on the move-driven by warmer oceans...

West Antarctic Ice Sheet unstoppable loss not unexpected by NASA Scientists
2014-05-14 03:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Clarksville: The new finding that the eventual loss of a major section of West Antarctica`s ice sheet "appears unstoppable" was not completely unexpected by scientists who study this area. The study, led by glaciologist Eric Rignot at NASA`s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, and the University of California, Irvine, follows decades of research and theory suggesting the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is inherently vulnerable to change. Although the Amundsen Sea region is only a fraction of the whole...
Ice melting in the western Antarctic at an 'unstoppable' pace, warn NASA scientists
2014-05-13 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Ice is melting in the western Antarctic at an "unstoppable" pace, scientists said Monday, warning that the discovery holds major consequences for global sea level rise in the coming decades. The speedy melting means that prior calculations of sea level rise worldwide made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will have to be adjusted upwards, scientists told reporters. "A large sector of the West Antarctic ice sheet has gone into a state of irreversible retreat. It has passed the...
