Scientists Take Key Step Toward Custom-Made Nanoscale Chemical Factories
2016-02-08 06:39:21| chemicalonline Home Page
Scientists have for the first time reengineered a building block of a geometric nanocompartment that occurs naturally in bacteria. They introduced a metal binding site to its shell that will allow electrons to be transferred to and from the compartment.

Unusually warm Arctic winter stuns scientists with record low ice extent for January
2016-02-07 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: Right about now, Arctic sea ice should be building up toward its annual maximum, making most of the region impenetrable to all but the most hardened icebreakers. Instead, January and indeed much of the winter so far has been unusually mild throughout large parts of the Arctic. A freak storm brought temperatures to near the freezing point, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit, near the North Pole for a short time in late December and early January, and other storms have repeatedly acted like space heaters...

Scientists say climate change fuelled Zika outbreak
2016-02-07 07:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Climate change may have fuelled the outbreak of the mosquito-borne Zika virus in Latin American and make it harder for developing countries to manage future epidemics, researchers said. Record-high temperatures last year in Brazil, Ecuador and other South America countries created ideal conditions for the mosquito that transmits Zika, which is suspected of causing birth defects, scientists said on conference call with reporters Friday (Feb 5). The researchers, who cautioned any link between...

Climate change affecting fisheries wealth: Scientists
2016-02-06 13:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Economic Times: Pelagic fish like mackerel, sardine and anchovies are alarmingly disappearing from the Kerala coasts due to ocean warming, marine scientists said today as they warned of the adverse impacts of climate change on fisheries wealth. The experts, who spoke at a session on Climate Resilient Fisheries held at the International Conference on Blue Economy here, stressed the need for framing strategies for protecting the ocean eco-system and conserving the fishery wealth. Dr P U Zacharia, a scientist...

United Kingdom: Global warming will unleash increasingly devastating floods in coming years, scientists warn
2016-02-02 11:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: Climate change made the severe storms which flooded the Somerset Levels in 2014 much more likely, according to new research that suggests global warming will unleash increasingly devastating floods in coming years. The report finds that man-made greenhouse gas emissions have increased the chance of extreme flooding by 43 per cent, as the warming climate holds larger quantities of moisture, which leads to heavier rainfall. What was once a 1 in 100-year event in a world without climate change is...
