Man-made wetlands turn wastewater into tap water

Associated Press: As murky water snakes through a man-made wetland between Dallas and Houston, its shallow ponds of lush vegetation slowly filter out phosphorous and nitrates until, a week later, the water runs clear as a creek into the area drinking supply. The 2,000-acre wetland system in Fairfield converts what is mainly treated wastewater that would otherwise flow into the Gulf of Mexico into an additional 65,000 gallons per day feeding the Richland-Chambers Reservoir - a significant contribution in a state...

3D-bioprinted blood vessels are a major step towards man-made tissues and organs
2014-07-04 17:05:18| Extremetech
One of the biggest challenges in building artificial organs is creating the vasculature. A new approach that combines 3D printing with template micromolding suggests that vascularized artificial organs may be within reach.

Natural gas industry chief: 'Man-made activity' contributes to climate change

Examiner: The head of a major natural gas trade organization said that human activity contributes to climate change and argued his industry provides a solution to the problem. "I think you've got both natural and man-made causes of. So yeah, I think man-made activity does contribute to that," Marty Durbin, the head of America's Natural Gas Alliance, told the Washington Examiner in an interview at his group's Washington headquarters. "But again, here's the best opportunity we have because we don't have to...

Bombshell: Study Ties Epic California Drought, Frigid East To Manmade Climate Change
2014-04-16 14:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: Natural variability alone cannot explain the extreme weather pattern that has driven both the record-setting California drought and the cooler weather seen in the Midwest and East this winter, a major new study finds. We`ve reported before that climate scientists had predicted a decade ago that warming-driven Arctic ice loss would lead to worsening drought in California. In particular, they predicted it would lead to a "blocking pattern" that would shift the jet stream (and the rain it could bring)...

Congressman Denies Manmade Climate Change, Calls It An Agenda-Driven Science
2014-04-15 08:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) readily admits hes not smart enough to determine the roots of climate change. He is, however, able to rule out one possible cause: humans. The freshman congressmans remarks came in an interview with ThinkProgress Monday following a town hall meeting. Asked about the spate of extreme weather, including weeks of punishing drought, that has gripped parts of Florida in recent years, Yoho dismissed the idea that it could be a symptom of manmade climate change. I think its...
