Express ^ Echo: A research expedition to the Arctic by Westcountry scientists has revealed some of the effects of global warming on marine wildlife. The researchers, from Plymouth and Exeter universities, took part in the Catlin Arctic Survey, a unique collaboration between the worlds of science and exploration aimed at understanding climate change. They worked alongside polar explorers camped in winter conditions on the Arctic ice at temperatures of -40C, risking frost bitten fingers, in a bid to collect...

Made with fully recyclable materials, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries employ non-toxic, natural mineral and lack any poisonous chemicals or heavy metals. Prismatic cells offer longevity with 8–10 year life and 3-year shelf life, and batteries are rated for 3,000+ cycles. With power rating of 4.5 kW/L, 12 V 7 Ah LFP battery can run 25 A load for 12 min and pulse discharge up to 40 A for 2 sec or less. Batteries can also serve as modular building block for larger systems. This story is related to the following:Green & CleanSearch for suppliers of: Lithium Batteries

The future of the oceans: Acid test

Economist: HUMANS, being a terrestrial species, are pleased to call their home Earth. A more honest name might be Sea, as more than seven-tenths of the planets surface is covered with salt water. Moreover, this water houses algae, bacteria (known as cyanobacteria) and plants that generate about half the oxygen in the atmosphere. And it also provides seafood--at least 15% of the protein eaten by 60% of the planets human population, an industry worth $218 billion a year. Its well-being is therefore of direct...
Acid Rain and Ozone Depletion May Have Triggered Mass Extinction 250 Million Years Ago

Nature World: Acid rain and ozone depletion may have caused the Earth's most severe known mass extinction, a new study published in the journal Geology suggests. Some 250 million years ago, at the end of the Permian period, more than 90 percent of marine species and over 70 percent of terrestrial species died off, setting the scene for the day of the dinosaur. The die-off was so extreme that, according to fossil records left behind, ecological diversity was not fully restored for another several million...
