Globalised economy more susceptible to weather extremes, scientists warn

Reuters: The globalisation of the world's economy this century has made it far more vulnerable to the impacts of extreme weather, including heat stress on workers, scientists said on Friday. A study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Columbia University showed production losses caused by high temperatures, predicted to rise further with climate change, now spread more easily from one place to another as they ripple through global supply chains. In just a decade, the susceptibility...

Scientists turn CO2 into stone to battle global warming
2016-06-12 03:34:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
DNAIndia: Carbon dioxide is a key factor in global warming, and experts have long called for innovative "carbon capture and storage" (CCS) solutions. Scientists have turned carbon dioxide into stone in a matter of months by pumping it deep underground, offering a revolutionary new way of storing the greenhouse gas to tackle climate change. The pioneering experiment in Iceland mixed CO2 emissions with water and pumped it hundreds of metres (feet) underground into volcanic basalt rock -- where it rapidly...

30 years ago scientists warned Congress on global warming. What they said sounds eerily familiar

Washington Post: It was such a different time -- and yet, the message was so similar. Thirty years ago, on June 10 and 11 of 1986, the U.S. Senate Committee on the Environment and Public Works commenced two days of hearings, convened by Sen. John H. Chafee (R-R.I.), on the subject of Ozone Depletion, the Greenhouse Effect, and Climate Change. This is not a matter of Chicken Little telling us the sky is falling, Chafee said at the hearing. The scientific evidence is telling us we have a problem, a serious...
Weird jet stream behavior could be making Greenlands melting even worse, scientists say

Washington Post: The vast northern ice sheet of Greenland melts every summer, pooling lakes of meltwater on its surface and losing fleets of icebergs from its finger-like glaciers. Thats not surprising -- its summer -- although in a warming climate, there are reasons to think these melt seasons are getting more intense, pouring more and more freshwater into the ocean. But when a group of scientists looked back at the last summer melt season -- 2015 -- they found something odd and troubling. Specifically,...

Scientists turn CO2 into rock to combat climate change
2016-06-11 12:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Scientists have turned carbon dioxide into stone in a matter of months by pumping it deep underground, offering a revolutionary new way of storing the greenhouse gas to tackle climate change. The pioneering experiment in Iceland mixed CO{-2}emissions with water and pumped it hundreds of metres underground into volcanic basalt rock where it rapidly turned into a solid. We need to deal with rising carbon emissions. This is the ultimate permanent storage turn them back to stone, said Juerg Matter,...
