Turning To Scientists To Engineer A Cooler Climate

National Public Radio: In the summer of 2012, a small group of the Haida people, a native community in Canada, had a problem. The salmon they rely on were disappearing. So the Haida took matters into their own hands. They partnered with an American businessman, drew up plans and then took a boat full of iron dust into the waters off their home island and put the dust in the ocean. When they spread the iron dust, it created a big algae bloom. They hoped the algae would soak up carbon dioxide and bring back the fish. ...

Argentine scientists tap cow burps for natural gas
2013-10-20 20:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Argentine scientists have found a way to transform the gas created by the bovine digestive system into fuel, an innovation that could curb greenhouse gases that cause global warming. Using a system of valves and pumps, the experimental technique developed by Argentina's National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA) channels the digestive gases from bovine stomach cavities through a tube and into a tank. The gases - which otherwise are commonly known as burps, or "eruptos" in Spanish - are...

Jakarta Post: Marine scientists from several NGOs are conducting joint efforts with dive operators to recover coral reefs in some areas in Indonesia affected by mass bleaching due to global warming. At a workshop on coral bleaching held in Denpasar on Friday, they discussed the impact of coral bleaching, which occurred at an alarming rate in 2009 and 2010, and attempted to learn from the episode to anticipate more bleaching in the future. It was predicted that future coral bleaching could be more severe and...

Scientists say climate change is challenging Iowa agriculture
2013-10-19 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Radio Iowa: More than 150 scientists from 36 colleges and universities in Iowa are jointly issuing a call for action against global warming. The director of the Climate Science Program at Iowa State, Gene Takle, is one of the lead authors of the group`s Iowa Climate Statement for 2013. "The last couple of years have underscored the fact that we are very vulnerable to weather conditions and weather extremes in Iowa," Takle says. Both years were marked by heavy spring rains followed by droughts that damaged...

Iowa scientists: Climate change affecting farming

Associated Press: More than 150 Iowa professors and climate researchers have signed on to a statement released Friday that says extreme weather patterns caused by climate change are affecting farming, and updated practices are needed to prevent soil erosion and adjust to the new reality. "Every year, evidence has been building in Iowa and around the world that there are consequences to the continued release of large quantities of heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere," said David Courard-Hauri, chairman of the...
