Climate Scientists Give New Prediction of Sea Level Change
2013-07-15 23:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Voice of America: In a new report, climate change scientists predict that for each one degree Celsius of increase in global temperature, sea levels will rise 2.3 meters. They say their estimate may be accurate for as long as the next 2,000 years. Earlier studies have predicted various changes in sea level as the climate warms, but a team from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research says its analysis is the first to consider historic climate data, along with computer simulations of factors contributing...
Dangerous global warming could be reversed, say scientists
2013-07-14 14:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: Global warming could be reversed using a combination of burning trees and crops for energy, and capturing and storing carbon dioxide underground (CCS), according to an analysis by scientists. But experts cautioned that trying such an approach after temperatures had passed dangerous levels could be problematic, as climate change reduced the number of trees available for "bioenergy." The bioenergy and CCS method was the most cost-effective way of tackling carbon emissions, said the team at Chalmers...

Scientists Offer New Solution to How Early Earth Sustained Life Despite a Dim Sun
2013-07-11 04:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Early life on Earth may have survived some 2.8 billion years ago through an atmosphere equipped with reasonable amounts of carbon dioxide and just a dash of methane, a new study suggests. The period, known as the Archean eon, was characterized in part by a Sun approximately 20 percent dimmer than today's. Conducted by researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder, the scientists point to the use of sophisticated three-dimensional climate models running for thousands of hours on the school's...
Roseanne Barr Suffers From Papaya Ringspot Virus, Begs Biotech Scientists To Genetically Modify Her
2013-07-10 01:20:51| Biotech - Topix.net
OK, the title is satire, but it's written to make a point: Is rational dialogue with science deniers possible-or even desirable? The title makes fun of the once funny and now annoying former actress who has officially joined the ranks of anti-biotechnology cranks.
