Climate Home: Assets equivalent to the six largest companies listed on US Dow Jones stock exchange are at risk if carbon emissions rise unabated, researchers have calculated. Under business as usual, climate change will wipe an estimated US$2.5 trillion -- the market capitalisation of Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Exxon, Facebook and General Electric -- off the global economy by 2100, according to a study published in Nature Climate Change on Monday.

RT: A Stanford University study shows that fracking can pollute underground drinking water. Using publicly available data and reports, researchers found organic compounds used in hydraulic fracturing were migrating into groundwater from unlined pits. "This is a wake-up call," said lead author Dominic DiGiulio, a visiting scholar at the Stanford School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences in a released statement. "It's perfectly legal to inject stimulation fluids into underground drinking water...

NH Voice: A lot of scientists have come forward to contribute to the expanding body of research predicting rising sea levels in the coming time. When it come to studies on climate change, it is possible to encounter set of statistics that could oppose another. Such is the case of the findings of two US climate scientists, who suggested that the actual prediction of rising sea levels is in reality double as compared to the most recent estimates. Moreover, the two researchers have said that earlier climate...

Methane hazard lurks in Boston's aging, leaking gas pipes, study says
2016-04-01 15:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inside Climate News: Hidden beneath Boston lies a vast network of aging iron and steel pipes that leak natural gas from thousands of points under the city. A small number of these leaks emit large volumes of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, while others pose an immediate explosion hazard, according to a recent peer-reviewed study published in the journal Environmental Pollution. The study looked at 100 randomly selected leaks from leak-prone cast iron pipes, the oldest of which had been in service since 1893. Fifteen...
