Scientists Say Nature Is Better at Carbon Farming
2013-08-11 17:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Large forests planted with a single species of tough small trees could capture enough carbon from the atmosphere to slow climate change and green the world's deserts at the same time, researchers say. A group of German scientists says the tree Jatropha curcas is resistant to arid conditions and can thrive where food crops would not survive. Jatropha curcas could be the way to remove atmospheric carbon, the researchers say. Unlike other geo-engineering schemes, which are expensive and rely...

Earth Scientists Pin Climate Change Squarely On 'Humanity'
2013-08-06 23:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: Most of the scientists who study the Earth say our climate is changing and humans are part of what's making that happen. But to a lot of nonscientists it's still murky. This week, two of the nation's most venerable scientific institutions tried to explain it better. The federal government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued its annual State of the Climate report Tuesday. Mostly, it was bad news: rising sea levels, less sea ice in the Arctic and warmer oceans. NOAA said 2012...

Scientists discover unforeseen benefits of Montreal Protocol

RTCC: The global agreement that saved the ozone layer may have also prevented dangerous climate change. In 1987, when almost 200 countries signed the treaty committing them to phasing out the chemicals that were causing rapid destruction of the ozone layer, no one could have foreseen the extent of the environmental destruction they were preventing. The Montreal Protocol was the result of a rapid cooperation by world leaders once scientists linked chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) to ozone loss over Antarctica....

Watching Fox News Makes You Distrust Climate Scientists

Mother Jones: In the past several years, a number of polls have documented the huge gap between liberals and conservatives when it comes to their acceptance of the science of climate change. Naturally, then, researchers have increasingly turned their attention to trying to explain this dramatic divide over what is factually true. And it wasn't long before they homed in on the role of conservative media in particularthus, a number of studies (e.g., here) show that watching Fox News increases your risk of holding...
Global Scientists Shocked by True Scale of Ocean Warming
2013-08-05 21:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: Warming oceans are causing marine species to change their breeding times and shift their habitats toward the poles much faster than land-based species, finds new research by scientists at 17 institutions across the world. The researchers warn that these big shifts in the timing of major events could produce disruption to ocean food webs, affecting all sea life, as well as humans who depend on the sea for food. Findings of the three-year research project, conducted by a working group of University...
