New Scientist: THIS is how we will hold off disaster. To help us avoid dangerous climate change, we will need to create the largest industry in history: to suck greenhouse gases out of the air on a giant scale. For the first time, we can sketch out this future industry - known as geoengineering - and identify where it would operate. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change now considers geoengineering to be respectable. The reason is simple. Unless our greenhouse gas emissions start falling soon, Earth...

Most Places on Earth to Experience Radically Different Climate by 2047
2013-10-09 21:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Should greenhouse gas emissions continued to rise based on current trends, most places on Earth will experience a radically different climate by 2047, a new study led by researchers from the University of Hawaii, Manoa shows. Should greenhouse gas emissions stabilize, the global mean climate departure -- the point at which the mean climate of any given location will shift outside the most extreme records within the past 150 years -- will occur by 2069. "The results shocked us. Regardless of...
