'I am Earth, ravaged by climate change'
2014-02-08 02:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Times of India: Last year's Uttarakhand catastrophe, heavy rains in Gujarat, the typhoon in Philippines and the freezing of Niagara Falls in the US and the Danube River in Europe - are these the result of global warming? All these and other mysteries about the environment will be dealt with in India's first 'feature film' on climate change - It's Tomorrow' - written by non-resident Gujarati, Dr Rajeshkumar Acharya, who currently lives in the US. It is directed by Zanane Rajsingh, who was born in Nagpur but studied...

Google Earth adds 160 years of global temperature data
2014-02-07 21:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mother Nature: Google Earth, which in 2009 unveiled tools to visualize the effects of climate change, has now gone one better. The 3-D mapping program has now added data that will allow you to explore how much global warming has changed temperatures in your neighborhood or almost any other part of the world. The new data layer (which you must add after downloading the Google Earth program) comes from the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit (UEA CRU), which has provided information from 6,000 weather...

Curiosity captures rare photo of Earth from the surface of Mars, 100 million miles away
2014-02-07 14:14:54| Extremetech
Mars rover Curiosity, which is now roughly half way to its final destination, has taken a brief pause to look up at the sunsetting sky and take a photo of Earth. In the photo above, Earth is roughly 99 million miles away -- and if you squint, you can also see the Moon. According to NASA, if you were walking on the surface of Mars, the Earth and Moon would be visible to the naked eye and would appear as "bright evening stars." This is only one of a handful of times that Earth has been imaged from more than a few thousand miles away. It's always rather humbling to see Earth -- that mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam -- just sitting there, tiny and insignificant, dwarfed by the grandest of black expanses.

World Climate Records Now Available on Google Earth
2014-02-05 21:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: In a move to make data about the climate of the past and climate change, a team from University of East Anglia (UEA) has modified the Google Earth map program to include the CRUTEM4 land-surface air temperature dataset, which is one of science's most widely used records of the climate system. The CRUTEM4 data set has temperature records dating back to 1850 for some of the 6,000 weather stations it collects its information from. The data has always been publicly available, but by overlaying the dataset...

Forest emissions, wildfires explain why ancient Earth was so hot
2014-02-05 21:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The release of volatile organic compounds from Earth's forests and smoke from wildfires 3 million years ago had a far greater impact on global warming than ancient atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide, a new Yale study finds. The research provides evidence that dynamic atmospheric chemistry played an important role in past warm climates, underscoring the complexity of climate change and the relevance of natural components, according to the authors. They do not address or dispute the significant...
