UK scientists to mimic plants to make zero-carbon fuel
2013-01-21 01:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: British scientists seeking to tap more efficient forms of solar power are exploring how to mimic the way plants transform sunlight into energy and produce hydrogen to fuel vehicles. They will join other researchers around the world studying artificial photosynthesis as governments seek to cut greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. The research will use synthetic biology to replicate the process by which plants concentrate solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, which is then...

Mobilizing scientists on climate change
2013-01-18 02:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: Naomi Oreskes is a professor of history and science studies at the University of California at San Diego and co-author of "Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming.' At the recent annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union, scientists presented evidence of climate change proceeding more rapidly than they had imagined 15, 10 or even five years ago. After a brief hiatus due mostly to the economic downturn, they noted,...
