Paris floods made almost twice as likely by climate change, say scientists

Guardian: The Paris floods, that saw extreme rainfall swell the river Seine to its highest level in decades, were made almost twice as likely because of the manmade emissions driving global warming, scientists have found. A three-day period of heavy rain at the end of May saw tens of thousands of people evacuated across France, and the capitals normally busy river closed to traffic because the water levels were so high under bridges. As artworks in the Louvre were moved to safety and Pariss cobbled walkways...
Climate scientists have warned us of coral bleaching for years. It's here

Guardian: Readers may have noticed that its been about a month since my last article. In recent weeks I presented guest articles in place of my own pieces. The reason for my absence was due to the adoption I was finalizing in the USA (my second successful adoption!). Anyone who has adopted a child can attest to the time and travel requirements. I intend that this article marks my return to near weekly posting and I thank my readers for their patience. Coral reefs are important for the health of the ocean...
Scientists turn carbon dioxide into stone to fight climate change

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 CO2 emissions with water and pumped it hundreds of meters (feet) 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...
Scientists turn carbon dioxide gas into harmless stone

Associated Press: Scientists have a found a quick way but not a cheap one to turn heat-trapping carbon dioxide gas into harmless rock. Experts say the results of a two-year, $10 million experiment called CarbFix , conducted about one-third of a mile (540 meters) deep in the rocks of Iceland, offer new hope for an effective weapon to help fight man-made global warming. When an international team of scientists pumped a carbon dioxide and water mix into underground basalt rocks, basic chemistry took over. The...
