California drought, high temperatures create worst conditions in 1,200 years: study
2014-12-05 22:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A combination of record high temperatures and sparse rainfall during California's three-year drought have produced the worst conditions in 1,200 years, according to a study accepted for publication by the American Geophysical Union (AGU). The state has gone through numerous periods of dry weather, with as little or less rainfall as the past few years, but scientists looking at the cumulative effects of temperature, low precipitation and other factors said that it all adds up to the worst conditions...

U.S. Natural Gas Fracking Boom May Be Shorter Than Predicted, Study Says
2014-12-05 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Estimates of the amount of natural gas that can be extracted from U.S. reserves is much too high and the boom may last just half as long as predicted, says a new report in the journal Nature. Official government estimates by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) suggest that peak natural gas production, driven by the rapid growth of hydraulic fracturing, will likely last until 2040 before tapering off. The new analysis suggests that that estimate is too high. Instead, researchers say, the peak...
Biodiversity protection is key REDD+ success, study shows

Mongabay: Protecting biodiversity may be crucial for successfully storing carbon in forests, scientists say. A recent publication on Oryx - The International Journal of Conservation suggests that biodiversity loss especially through hunting will hinder the success of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) projects. As an initiative to combat climate change by storing carbon in forests, REDD offers incentives to avoid deforestation and forest degradation. REDD+ goes further...

Warmer seas could cause faster melting of Antarctic ice leading to rising sea levels, says study
2014-12-05 11:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Warming water under Antarcticas ice shelves risks ice melting that could lead to a worrying rise in global sea levels, research has shown. Loss of the Antarctic ice shelves, which extend from the southern polar land mass over the underwater continental shelf, are likely to result in the glaciers behind them flowing more rapidly into the sea. That would feed more melting ice into the oceans, pushing up sea levels. Total melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet, which is close to the regions...
