Scientists Find Four New Ozone-Depleting Gases
2014-03-10 12:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Researchers have found four new man-made gases that are depleting the ozone blanket. University of East Anglia researchers say that more than 74,000 metric tons of these gases have been released in the atmosphere. The gases include three new chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and one hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC). For the study, researchers looked at air samples obtained from polar firm snow- which is like a catalogue of atmospheric conditions that existed a century ago. They compared these air samples...

Scientists discover four new manmade ozone-depleting gases
2014-03-10 11:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Four new manmade gases, possibly derived from chemicals in insecticides and solvents, have been found to be damaging the ozone layer, which helps filter harmful ultraviolet rays. Three of the gases are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and one is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC). Two are accumulating at worrying rates in the atmosphere, but scientists have not identified the exact sources yet. The identification of these four new gases is very worrying as they will contribute to the destruction of...

Scientists Need Your Help to Discern Global Warming's Role in UK Floods
2014-03-05 18:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: A team of climate scientists in the UK has launched an ambitious citizen science effort to quickly assess the role that manmade global warming may have played in that region's extraordinarily wet winter. The program, known as the Weather@Home 2014 project, is part of a longer term and international push to develop scientific techniques to gain insight into the relationship between global warming and extreme weather events, from heavy precipitation events to heat waves. The winter of 2013-14...

Home computers help scientists assess climate role in UK's wet winter
2014-03-04 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Citizen scientists can help to solve a critical question raised by England's wettest winter in at least 250 years: was climate change to blame? Spare home computer time lent to researchers at the University of Oxford will allow an intensive modelling effort to determine whether global warming made the deluge more likely. The role of climate change in the downpours, that resulted in at least 1bn of flood damage, has been fiercely debated. The prime minister, David Cameron, told parliament he...
