Scientists ventured to Himalaya for climate change study
2013-03-22 21:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Almost half the world's population gets its water from glacier melt and rainfall in the Himalayas and other lofty peaks, yet little is understood about how climate change will affect these water sources. Now, using sophisticated technology and old-fashioned fieldwork, scientists are looking into the past to solve this mystery. "We're trying to understand the relationships between climate and glaciers and Earth's water resources from the perspective of Earth's paleoclimate," geologist Aaron Putnam...

But here's the question: In general, are they showing up earlier now than usual? Is spring springing sooner because of global warming? Scientists say it is. This morning, the U.S....

Scientists to policymakers: Clean energy could fuel New York by 2050
2013-03-21 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: By 2050, New York State could run entirely on energy produced from wind, water and sunlight. That radical finding, which goes further than any other clean energy plan envisioned for New York, comes from a peer-reviewed study [3] published last week in the journal Energy Policy. The 13 scientists who wrote the report analyzed the technical and economic feasibility of meeting the state's energy needs solely through renewable energy. They concluded that moving to renewables would stabilize energy prices,...
