Nature World News: Adding to the list of environmental hazards associated with rising global temperatures is a shift in the ocean's natural chemical changes, a paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change showed. A rise in ocean temperatures -- a byproduct of rising atmospheric temperatures -- will upset the ocean's cycles of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and phosphorus, the study found.

Voice of America: No evidence has linked extreme weather events to climate change, until now. New research suggests devastating floods, droughts and storms were exacerbated by human-induced climate change caused by the burning of fossil fuels in our cars, factories and homes. The new report, released by British and American climate agencies, analyzes a dozen extreme weather events which occurred worldwide in 2012. "What they find is [with] about half of the events," said Thomas Karl, director of the NOAA National...

Chronic Exposure to Air Pollution Linked with Heart Disease, Lung Cancer
2013-09-07 13:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Researchers have found that long-time exposure to ozone, a greenhouse gas prevalent in urban areas, can raise the risk of cardiovascular disease. The study was conducted by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley and colleagues who also found a strong association between nitrogen dioxide and an increased risk of death from lung cancer. This isn't the first study to link health complications withrising levels of air pollution; a related study had found that annually two million...
