Air pollution linked to increased mental illness in children
2016-06-13 10:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: A major new study has linked air pollution to increased mental illness in children, even at low levels of pollution. The new research found that relatively small increases in air pollution were associated with a significant increase in treated psychiatric problems. It is the first study to establish the link but is consistent with a growing body of evidence that air pollution can affect mental and cognitive health and that children are particularly vulnerable to poor air quality. The research,...

Melting ice in Greenland linked to faster Arctic warming
2016-06-12 09:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Gadgets and Technology: It is also well over a million square kilometers below the average for the month. Ice loss on Greenland is likely driving the loss of frozen cover around the rest of the Arctic. And it broke the prior record low for May by a region larger than California, although not quite as large as Texas. The future of the planet depends upon it. In June of 2015, Greenland underwent record levels of melting ice. The previous record September low was set in 2012. The south saw more snow during summer of 2015...

Global Warming: Melting Greenland ice linked to Arctic amplification
2016-06-12 07:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
DNA: The Greenland ice sheet holds enough ice that it could raise the average global sea level by about 7 metres if it were to melt entirely. Scientists have found the first evidence that links melting ice in Greenland to Arctic amplification - faster warming of the Arctic compared to the rest of the Northern Hemisphere as sea ice disappears. The findings show that the predicted effects of Arctic amplification, as described in previous studies, occurred over northern Greenland during summer last...

Rainfall following drought linked to historic nitrate levels in Midwest streams in 2013
2016-06-08 05:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Drought periods followed by rainfall caused nitrate levels to increase to the highest ever measured in some Midwest streams during a 2013 study, according to a U.S. Geological Survey report published today in the Journal of Environmental Quality. Nitrate, a form of nitrogen, is a common pollutant in U.S. streams and groundwater. Excessive concentrations in streams and lakes can adversely affect biological communities and spur algal growth, which can lead to harmful algal blooms and deplete oxygen...
