A system-wide study of the logistics industry in the Greater Capital Region
2016-02-23 19:12:13| Logistics - Topix.net
The Port of Manila, the largest seaport in the country, has been recognised as the most widely used port in the Greater Capital Region with utilization rate of 71.6% compared to only 2.3% and 6.1% utilisation of Batangas and Subic Ports, respectively . The ports of Batangas and Subic were developed in order to accommodate excess traffic in the port of Manila and promote growth and development in CALABARZON and Central Luzon.

Searing heat waves detailed in study of future climate
2016-02-23 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] BOULDER — Sweltering heat waves that typically strike once every 20 years could become yearly events across 60 percent of Earth's land surface by 2075, if human-produced greenhouse gas emissions continue unchecked. If stringent emissions-reductions measures are put in place, however, these extreme heat events could be reduced significantly. Even so, 18 percent of global land areas would still be subjected yearly to these intense heat waves, defined as three exceptionall…

Study: All US Forests From Coast To Coast Now Threatened Climate Change, Drought
2016-02-23 06:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inquistr: In as little as 20 years, forests in the U.S. may look very different than they do today. A new study is warning that climate change and drought will likely threaten all of the countrys trees. The effects on the American West have already proven disastrous, but a new study that compiles hundreds of smaller studies on the health of U.S. forests and rangelands has suggested that the problem will spread east, the Christian Science Monitor reported. Science is currently scrambling to understand the...

Charging electric vehicles at night can cause more harm than good, says study
2016-02-23 05:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University find that while charging electric vehicles at night is more cost-effective, it increases air emissions. Charging electric vehicles late at night, when demand is low and electricity is cheapest to generate, is preferred by grid operators. However, CMU researchers found that it produces substantially higher greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution than simply charging as soon as the driver returns home.

Antarctica study: Iceberg almost erases penguin population
2016-02-23 02:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: A new scientific study says an estimated 150,000 Adelie penguins have died in Cape Denison, Antarctica in the five years since a giant iceberg blocked their main access to food. The fact that the other colony is well preserved means that the decreased population in the Commonwealth Bay is due to the iceberg and no other factors involved. This strenuous trek has taken a devastating toll on the population, killing as many as 150,000 since 2011, according to a new study from the Climate Change Research...
