Independent: A giant Antarctic iceberg has broken free of the continent and could be about to drift into busy international shipping lanes, a team of British scientists has warned. The Government has awarded experts with an emergency grant of 50,000 to fund a six-month project in which they will try to track the progress of the ice and predict its movements. The University of Sheffields Professor Grant Bigg, a leading authority on modelling the dynamics of icebergs, is heading up the investigation that...

Climate News Network: Senior US scientists have some fresh advice for governments concerned at the prospect of climate change. Its happening, they say. Get used to it. Evolve with it. Adapt, or go under. The recommendations, couched in matter-of-fact language, simply point out what ought to be obvious: as changes become more pronounced, people everywhere will need to adjust. That means that climate scientists, social scientists, engineers and other disciplines must work together to determine who is most vulnerable...

Climate change scientists must turn their attention to clean skies, experts urge
2013-11-06 20:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: An international team of researchers, led by the University of Leeds, has shown that the effect of aerosols on the climate since industrialisation depends strongly on what the atmosphere was like before pollution -- when aerosols were produced only from natural emissions. The research will be published in the journal Nature on 7 November. Professor Ken Carslaw, from the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds and lead author of the study, said: "We have shown that our poor knowledge...

Climate scientists say embrace nuclear power
2013-11-04 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Hill: Four prominent climate scientists are urging environmentalists to embrace nuclear power to help fight global warming, arguing that continued opposition . . . threatens humanity's ability to avoid dangerous climate change. With the planet warming and carbon dioxide emissions rising faster than ever, we cannot afford to turn away from any technology that has the potential to displace a large fraction of our carbon emissions, they say in a new open letter. The letter, citing rising global...
