Popular Science: Everyone wants to read other people's emails now. From the Sony Hack to the Clinton emails, there is huge interest in the words pouring between people electronically. Tussles over political or entertainment emails make headlines, but another email battle over more scientific subject matter has been going on for several months. Essentially, the head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Kathryn Sullivan, is refusing to turn over internal emails between NOAA scientists...

Climate denial's ugly side: Hate mail to scientists
2015-12-12 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: As delegates from 195 countries work diligently in Paris to hash out an international deal to tackle climate change, their work relies on the huge consensus of climate science that shows the world is headed for a dangerous future if greenhouse gas emissions are not curtailed. But back home in the United States, historically the biggest carbon emitter of all, climate science gets a much rockier reception. In fact, climate scientists find themselves and their work regularly under attack. Not only...
Veteran climate scientists hopeful a historic Paris deal hours away

Guardian: Theres a cafe next door to the thronging media centre at the UN global climate talks in Paris where the constant clang of the door to the chill air outside can barely be heard above the buzz. Veteran climate scientist and biologist Professor Lesley Hughes has taken a seat with me close by and is struggling to hear herself think. But the chaos and noise of the global climate talks are not enough to drown out her feeling that a historic moment could be only hours away. Minutes earlier, scientists...
Scientists paint a detailed picture of the chemical structure of oceans 520 million years ago
2015-12-11 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Ocean chemistry has strongly shaped the evolution of life and biogeochemical cycles on the Earth. Although it was known that the early oceans (>520 million years ago) were characterized by strong water-column stratification and limited oxidant availability, the detailed chemical structure of early Earth oceans has remained unclear. Recently, researchers in Wuhan have developed a model of the spatial structure of early-Earth ocean chemistry that significantly advances our understan…

United Kingdom: Climate Change Increased Chances Of Heavy Rains Such As Storm Desmond, Scientists Conclude
2015-12-11 01:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Man-made climate change has increased the chances of heavy rainfall in the area of the UK affected by Storm Desmond, scientists conclude. Researchers from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), University of Oxford and Climate Central used three independent analytical techniques to show that climate change has increased the likelihood of such rains by about 40%, with the range of increase running from 5% to 80%. The methods include statistical analyses of the historical temperature...
