Pollutants Effect On Clouds Could Actually Lead To Climate Cooling
2013-05-06 13:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: While manmade pollution and other natural emissions are often blamed for their role in global warming, new research from the University of Manchester suggests that they could actually play a role in cooling the worlds climate. According to the study, which has been published in the journal Nature Geoscience, those emissions could make clouds brighter. Clouds, the researchers explain, are comprised of water droplets that condense onto minute particles suspended in the air. Those particles swell...
EPA Proposes to Reduce Toxic Pollutants Discharged into Waterways by Power Plants
2013-04-19 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
In accordance with consent decree and in line with requirements under Clean Water Act, U.S. EPA will propose options to help reduce dangerous pollutants, including mercury, arsenic, lead, and selenium, released into America's waterways by coal ash, air pollution control waste, and other waste from steam electric power plants. Proposal includes options for whether and how said waste streams should be treated, and EPA will take comments on all of these options to help inform most appropriate final ...This story is related to the following:Green & CleanSearch for suppliers of:

Cutting short-lived pollutants slows sea level rise
2013-04-15 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Xinhua: U.S. scientists said on Sunday that it's possible to greatly slow down sea level rise this century, by cutting emissions of so-called short-lived pollutants that cycle comparatively quickly through the atmosphere. The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, found that a sharp reduction in four pollutants beginning in 2015, namely, methane, tropospheric ozone, hydrofluorocarbons, and black carbon, could offset warming temperatures by up to 50 percent by 2050, and reduce sea level...
Cutting specific pollutants could slow sea level rise by 50 percent: Study

Asian News International: With coastal areas bracing for rising sea levels, new research indicates that cutting emissions of certain pollutants can greatly slow down sea level rise this century. The research team found that reductions in four pollutants that cycle comparatively quickly through the atmosphere could temporarily forestall the rate of sea level rise by roughly 25 to 50 percent. "To avoid potentially dangerous sea level rise, we could cut emissions of short-lived pollutants even if we cannot immediately...

Cutting Short-lived Pollutants Can Slow Sea Level Rise
2013-04-15 00:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: A new study finds that it is possible to greatly slow the rate of sea level rise, which is one of the biggest threats global warming poses, by cutting so-called "short-lived climate pollutants,' which warm the climate on timescales of a few weeks to a decade, in combination with reductions in long-lived greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2). The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, found that reducing emissions of these short-lived climate pollutants, including soot and...
