Study warns dangerous global warming to happen sooner
2016-07-02 02:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Eco News: According to new Australian research that highlights the alarming implications of rising energy demand the world is on track to reach dangerous levels of global warming much sooner than expected. University of Queensland (UQ) and Griffith University researchers have developed a global energy tracker that predicts average world temperatures could climb 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by 2020. That forecast, based on new modelling using long-term average projections on economic...

Air Pollution In China, India Shortens Life By Two Years, Study Finds

Forbes: Air pollution reduces life expectancy in the worlds two most populous countries by around two years by 25 months in China and 23 months in India, according to a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA). China has undergone a process of rapid industrialization and urbanization over the past two and a half decades, with demand for energy increasing almost three and a half times since 1990. Almost all the increase was met by fossil fuels, with coal, the dirtiest form of fossil fuel, generating...
Climate change warming Asian waters, altering monsoon: Study

Associated Press: Each year as temperatures rise across India, farmers look to the sky and pray for rain. The all-important monsoon forecast becomes a national priority, with more than 70 per cent of India's 1.25 billion citizens engaged in agriculture and relying on weather predictions to decide when they will sow their seeds and harvest their crops. But getting the forecast right remains a challenge, thanks to the complex, and still poorly understood, ways in which South Asia's monsoon rains are influenced...

Climate Change Threatening Penguins In Antarctica: Study
2016-07-01 07:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
NDTV: Continued warming of Antarctica due to climate change may lead to decline of 60 per cent of Adelie penguin colonies by the end of this century, a new study has warned. Climate change in Antarctica, cooling in some places and warming in others, is causing a dramatic shift in the population of Adelie penguins, researchers said. Historic satellite observations and future climate model projections were used to estimate past and future changes in habitat suitability during the penguins' chick-rearing...

Amazon biodiversity at risk despite Brazil's forest protection law - study
2016-06-30 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: "Many of the forests that remain standing are shadows of the pristine forests that once stood in their place" Selective logging, road building and fires are threatening biodiversity in Brazil's Amazon despite a requirement that rural landowners maintain at least 80 percent of their forest cover in the world's largest rainforest, researchers said on Wednesday. In 2012, Brazil enacted a law to protect forests and help establish clearer rules for the ranchers, soy growers and other producers who...
