IRIN: Scientists are developing more resistant varieties of rice to help farmers in Vietnam adapt to climate change, amid the countrys worst drought in 90 years. The drought, as well as the related flow of saltwater upriver, has destroyed 159,000 hectares of rice paddies and left almost one million people lacking drinking water, according to a new UN report. Another half million hectares are expected to be damaged by mid-year. In line with its work in other Asian countries, the Philippines-based...

Climate scientists step up search 'holy grail' million-year-old ice
2016-03-09 01:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The time capsule is ice that froze 1.5m years ago, capturing tiny bubbles of air, bringing a sample of the ancient atmosphere through time to the present day. There are already dozens of ice cores from Antarctica and Greenland. They are tubes of ice, sometimes several kilometres long, drilled from the ice sheet, which reveal a timeline of what the atmosphere was like over hundreds of millennia. Together those cores paint a detailed picture of the history of our atmosphere and climate. Theyve...
