Earth's poles are shifting because of climate change

2013-12-13 11:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

New Scientist: Climate change is causing the North Pole's location to drift, owing to subtle changes in Earth's rotation that result from the melting of glaciers and ice sheets. The finding suggests that monitoring the position of the pole could become a new tool for tracking global warming. Computer simulations had suggested that the melting of ice sheets and the consequent rise in sea level could affect the distribution of mass on the Earth's surface. This would in turn cause the Earth's axis to shift, an...

EPA-Rated Lighting Poles are built for high wind zones.

2013-10-16 14:31:42| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today

Intended for lighting used in areas that experience 110–130 mph wind gusts, EPA (effective projected area)-rated steel poles can be custom cut to requested lengths or painted to any RAL color. Structural integrity meets code and reduces or prevents damage caused by high winds in areas prone to hurricanes. All poles and hardware are protected from rust and corrosion by chromate conversion coating and powder coat of paint. This story is related to the following:Green & CleanSearch for suppliers of:

Poles apart: Sea ice melts and grows

2013-10-06 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Climate News Network: It`s one of the most closely-watched questions in climate science: how fast is the Arctic sea ice melting? The definitive answer is that it is still melting rapidly, though not quite as fast it did in 2012, when the extent of the ice sheet was lower than ever recorded. At the other end of the world, though, the Antarctic ice sheet has continued to grow, reaching a new record extent. Some experts believe this is the result not of cooling but of stronger polar winds pushing the ice further outward...
