They swivel in all directions, delivering concrete and other heavy material to workers building a large development behind a steel-and-concrete wall that holds back the water. Within two years, the Wharf will begin emerging as a playground of trendy apartments, shops and entertainment venues. But below the rivers surface, animals that depend on vegetation in the water may continue...

Bad news: Scientists say we could be underestimating Arctic methane emissions
2015-12-22 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: Arctic permafrost has become a recent star in the climate change conversation, capturing the attention of scientists, activists and policymakers alike because of its ability to emit large quantities of carbon dioxide as well as methane a particularly potent though relatively short-lived greenhouse gas when it thaws.
