Climate-related death of coral around world alarms scientists

New York Times: Kim Cobb, a marine scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, expected the coral to be damaged when she plunged into the deep blue waters off Kiritimati Island, a remote atoll near the center of the Pacific Ocean. Still, she was stunned by what she saw as she descended some 30 feet to the rim of a coral outcropping. "The entire reef is covered with a red-brown fuzz," Dr. Cobb said when she returned to the surface after her recent dive. "It is otherworldly. It is algae that has grown over...

To help curb climate change, stop wasting food - scientists
2016-04-07 14:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Reducing food waste around the world would help curb emissions of planet-warming gases, lessening some of the impacts of climate change such as more extreme weather and rising seas, scientists said on Thursday. Up to 14 percent of emissions from agriculture in 2050 could be avoided by managing food use and distribution better, according to a new study from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). "Agriculture is a major driver of climate change, accounting for more than 20 percent...

Stanford Scientists Show Fracking Linked to Groundwater Contamination in Pavillion, Wyoming

EcoWatch: As the fracking industry tries to expand internationally, being promoted as a so-called clean bridge fuel, it is increasingly clear the industry has not one, but two, Achilles heels. The first is the release of the potent greenhouse gas, methane. The second is water pollution and the threat the controversial technique poses to drinking water. Both areas are highly disputed, but nearly every week new research reveals new evidence of harm by fracking. Two weeks ago, new research was published...

Scientists nearly double sea level rise projections for 2100, because of Antarctica
2016-03-31 15:08:02| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: Sea levels could rise nearly twice as much as previously predicted by the end of this century if carbon dioxide emissions continue unabated, an outcome that could devastate coastal communities around the globe, according to new research published Wednesday. The main reason? Antarctica. Scientists behind a new study published in the journal Nature used sophisticated computer models to decipher a longstanding riddle about how the massive, mostly uninhabited continent surrendered so much ice during...
Scientists model a new mechanism of climate doom

Seattle PI: This image shot from the International Space Station shows the snout of the Upsala Glacier (49.88°S, 73.3°W) on the Argentine side of the North Patagonian Icefield. Ice flow in this glacier comes from the north (right in this rotated image). Dark lines of rocky debris (moraine) within the ice give a sense of the slow ice flow from right to left. The water color in Lago Argentino is related to the glacier flow. The lake receives most of the ice from the glacier and thus receives most of the "rock...
