More manufacturers looking to re-shore back to U.S., experts say
2014-05-07 10:20:13| Automakers - Topix.net
Master Lock LLC, Caterpillar Inc., General Electric Co. and Whirlpool Corp. have all re-shored products back to the U.S., but more manufacturers are starting to lay the groundwork to come back home, according a presentation by Deloitte Development LLC. The reason - U.S. manufacturing labor costs have remained flat over the past 12 years and are ... (more)
Bees can be harnessed to boost food security, Flinders University researchers say
2014-05-07 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcast Corpation: Researchers from Flinders University say bees are an important indicator of a changing global climate and making best use of them is the key to future food security. Adelaide PhD student Scott Groom has used mathematical modelling to determine changes in bee populations across the South Pacific region over the past 20,000 years. "We see a really large decline in bee populations that coincides with the last glacial maximum (ice age), at which time we had lowering sea levels and everything getting...

Global Warming Hasn't Been Uniform, Scientists Say
2014-05-05 16:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A new study has found that global warming has been uneven over the past 100 years. The study, conducted by Florida State University scientists, has shown that certain regions of the world have warmed while others cooled. "Global warming was not as understood as we thought," said Zhaohua Wu, an assistant professor of meteorology at FSU. For the study, researchers used a new analysis method to examine data on land surface temperature changes since 1900. The team used data from all over the...

Fracking-triggered earthquakes could get stronger, seismologists say
2014-05-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Al Jazeera: Fracking-triggered earthquakes could become stronger over time as more wastewater is injected deep underground, new research suggests. It follows the release of several studies linking hydraulic fracturing directly to increased seismic activity. Scientists attending the Seismological Society of America (SSA) annual meeting Thursday said that underground disposal of wastewater and fracking likely induce earthquakes by changing the state of stress on existing faults to the point of failure. Most...
