Scientists search tea variety that can withstand climate change
2015-08-30 07:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Economic Times: As climate change is affecting both quality and production of tea, scientists are testing which botanical varieties of the crop are resilient to climatic pressures. At Tea Research Association's Tocklai Experimental Station here, a team of scientists has created chambers where they are studying how the 200-odd varieties of tea found in the country would react under different climatic models. "We are testing the field varieties and we have also created 33 clones so far of the mother varieties....

Humans to Blame for Catastrophic Drought in California, Scientists Say
2015-08-28 16:34:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: One way or another, humans are to blame for the catastrophic drought in California that scientists say may be emerging as a new normal. Either humans have mismanaged the states water or human-triggered global warming has begun to help turn Americas landscape of wine and roses into a dustbowl, according to two new studies. And the arguments have relevance extending far beyond the U.S. west, as the European Drought Observatory has warned that much of mainland Europe is now caught up in the continents...

Rising sea level threatens coastal restoration, New Orleans levees, scientists say
2015-08-28 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Times-Picayune: Even as Louisiana embarks on a multi-billion-dollar program to begin rebuilding its coast, evidence continues to mount that new coastal land will have to contend with a more rapid rise in sea level than projected in present state plans. NASA officials Wednesday said the present rate of worldwide sea level rise has reached 3 millimeters a year (0.13 inch/year) and is increasing, the result of global warming. That compares to 1.7 millimeters a year for the entire 20th Century and 1.8 millimeters between...
NASA scientists warn of accelerating sea level rise as ice sheets melt
2015-08-28 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: As the world's ice sheets melt in response to warming air and ocean temperatures, global sea level is increasing. This is already putting cities from New York to Shanghai at risk of almost routine flooding from even relatively minor storms. The question facing scientists and policy makers is how much sea level rise they need to plan for in the coming decades, and recent findings are concerning. On Wednesday, NASA scientists said they expect several feet of global sea level rise by the end of...
In Canadian Peaks, Scientists Track Impacts Vanishing Ice

Yale Environment 360: In the summer of 1955, a floatplane flew a small group of American climbers to the edge of a massive icefield straddling the Continental Divide along the Yukon/Northwest Territories border in northern Ed Struzik is a fellow at Queens Universitys School of Policy Studies, Queens Institute for Energy and Environmental Policy. Canada. When the group saw the cluster of jagged peaks and sheer rock walls they were searching for, they were stunned: Emerging from the edges of the Brintnell/Bologna icefield...
