CBS: It's a bleak revelation -- a new study reveals that about a tenth of the Earth's wilderness has been lost since the 1990s. Over the last 20 years, a total area half the size of the Amazon and twice the size of Alaska has been depleted. The researchers behind the study, published in the journal Current Biology, say they hope that the sobering revelation that rich natural habitats like the Amazon have been decimated in a relatively short amount of time will act as a wakeup call to global leaders...
Climate Change Boosts Likelihood of Devastating Rain, Floods: Study

Newsweek: Global warming has dramatically increased the likelihood of the type of torrential rainfall that flooded Louisiana last month, according to a new study by government and private sector scientists. Researchers working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found that the probability of such storms along the Gulf Coast had increased by at least 40 percent since 1900and may even have doubledthanks to climate change. In August, cities and towns in the southern part of Louisiana were...

Pollution over Asian skies driven by Western demand for goods: study
2016-09-10 01:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CTV: A new study has found that the release of climate-warming emissions clogging skies in East Asia is being driven by consumption of manufactured goods in Western Europe, North America and Oceania. Researchers looked at a number of aerosols (solid and liquid particles suspended in air) created through manufacturing and energy production, such as black carbon, which absorb solar radiation and warm the atmosphere -- an effect known as "radiative forcing. The aerosols only stick in the air for days...

Deadly Louisiana deluge had a major climate change assist, study finds
2016-09-08 00:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yahoo: The 7.1 trillion gallons of torrential rainfall that a storm dumped on Louisiana in August, leading to a flooding disaster that killed at least 13 people and caused more than $1 billion in damage, had a direct link to human-caused global warming, a new study finds. In short, while these events are still rare on the order of about once every 1,000 years at the local level they used to be far more infrequent, the study, released Wednesday, concludes. Scientists studying the storm using readings...
