Carbon dioxide emissions rise w/ rebounding economy
2014-06-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: After a five-year decrease in the amount of carbon dioxide pumped into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels, U.S. greenhouse gas emissions are on the rise again. The culprit: a rebounding economy. CO2 emissions from fossil fuels rose 2.39 percent in 2013 compared with 2012 and grew 7.45 percent for the first two months of 2014 compared with the same period in 2013, according to new data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). The jump puts an end to the annual decrease...

Rise in Carbon dioxide Levels Could Lead to Poor Quality Food
2014-06-07 07:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature News: Climate change will lead to low-quality food, a new study suggests. The study was conducted by researchers at Harvard University and colleagues. According to the scientists, major food crops such as wheat, maize, rice and soybeans will have low levels of zinc and proteins in the future. "We found that rising levels of CO2 are affecting human nutrition by reducing levels of very important nutrients in very important food crops," said Prof Samuel Myers from Harvard University, United States,...

Carbon Dioxide Passes Global 400 ppm Milestone
2014-05-27 20:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: A new carbon dioxide milestone has been reached according to the World Meteorological Agency. Average carbon dioxide measurements at all monitoring stations in the northern hemisphere were above 400 parts per million for the month of April, the first time that's been recorded in human history. The location and April average CO2 levels measured at 12 World Meteorological Organization monitoring stations around the globe. Previous reports from the Mauna Loa Observatory, the longest continually...
