Millions face starvation as world warms, say scientists
2013-04-13 22:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Millions of people could become destitute in Africa and Asia as staple foods more than double in price by 2050 as a result of extreme temperatures, floods and droughts that will transform the way the world farms. As food experts gather at two major conferences to discuss how to feed the nine billion people expected to be alive in 2050, leading scientists have told the Observer that food insecurity risks turning parts of Africa into permanent disaster areas. Rising temperatures will also have a...

Scientists use islands to gauge rainfall's effect on landscapes
2013-04-10 22:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: If you've ever stood on a hill during a rainstorm, you've probably witnessed landscape evolution, at least on a small scale: rivulets of water streaming down a slope, cutting deeper trenches in Earth when the rain turns heavier. It's a simple phenomenon that scientists have long believed applies to large-scale landforms as well -- that is, rivers cut faster into mountains that receive heavier precipitation. It's thought that if rainfall patterns influence how rivers cut into rock, over time, the...
