Pope: Destroying the Earth is a sin
2014-05-24 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
MSNBC: Pope Francis made the biblical case for mitigating the effects of climate change, speaking to a massive crowd in Rome. In his brief speech, Francis issued a dire warning about the effects of climate change. Safeguard Creation, he said, according to Think Progress, because if we destroy Creation, Creation will destroy us! Never forget this! Creation is not a property, which we can rule over at will; or, even less, is the property of only a few: Creation is a gift, it is a wonderful gift...

Quickly Rising Antarctica Suggests 'Runny' Earth
2014-05-19 13:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Antarctica is rising unusually quickly, revealing that hot rock in the Earth's mantle hundreds of miles below the icy continent is flowing much faster than expected, researchers say. Antarctic ice is more than 2.6 miles (4.2 kilometers) thick on some parts of the continent, a reminder that glaciers that were miles thick once covered many parts of Earth's surface. When these ice sheets shrink, as is happening now in the world's polar regions due to climate change, the underlying Earth rebounds...

Methane emissions from fossil fuel exploitation may push Earth past climate tipping point
2014-05-17 03:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: As frackers desperately try to pump every last bit of gas from the ground before the global warming clock runs out, scientists warn that methane emissions could push Earth over a climate tipping point in just a few years. We have to control methane immediately, and natural gas is the largest methane pollution source in the United States, said Robert Howarth, greenhouse gas expert and ecology and environmental biology professor at Cornell University. If we hit a climate-system tipping point...

NASA creates star dust here on Earth for the first time: Carl Sagan would be proud
2014-05-12 20:52:56| Extremetech
Here on Earth, at NASA's Ames Research Center in California, scientists have created stardust -- or more accurately, they've recreated the dust that forms in the outer atmosphere of a dying red giant star. Out there in space, over millions of years, this interstellar dust gathers together into a nebula and goes on to coalesce into planets and other stars. Down here on Earth, of course, NASA isn't trying to create its own planets (not yet, anyway) -- no, they have the much more humble undertaking of trying to better understand how the universe and its trillions of planets and stars evolved over the last 14 billion years.
