Toxic Toledo Algae Bloom Seen from Space
2014-08-11 13:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: An algae bloom in Lake Erie that left hundreds of thousands of people in Toledo, Ohio, and its surroundings without water for two days is visible in new satellite imagery. The bloom appears as a cloudy green mass in the blue of Lake Erie. Toledo is in the lower left of the image, along the lake's shore. The mayor of the city lifted a ban on drinking Toledo's water on Monday (Aug. 4), after two days in which residents were warned that water from the Collins Park water treatment plant was contaminated...

Global Warming Will Make Toxic Algae Blooms Worse
2014-08-11 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Columbus Dispatch: Scientists say climate change is exacerbating toxic-algae problems in Lake Erie and across the country. They say more-intense storms are dumping heavy rains onto farm fields, causing more fertilizer runoff than in the past, and that lake-water temperatures are rising, making a perfect home for the toxic blue-green algae that plague Lake Erie every summer and caused Toledos recent drinking-water woes. When you have a gentle rain, where you get maybe an inch ... over a 24-hour period, you dont...

Deadly Algae Are Everywhere, Thanks to Agriculture

Scientific American: The rains come and water the spring shoots of another bounteous Midwestern corn crop in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. The rains also wash phosphorus off farm fields and into creeks, streams and rivers. The waters flow into the shallowest of the Great Lakes--Lake Erie, which is just 18 meters deep on average and far shallower on its western edge. All that phosphorus doesn't just help crops grow. When it reaches the lake it fuels the growth of mats of bright green algae, turning the water the color of...

Lake Erie's algae explosion blamed on farmers
2014-08-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CBC: Toxic algae blooms in Lake Erie fouled the water that hundreds of thousands of people rely on for drinking, cooking and bathing last week, forcing hundreds of thousands of people in Ohio to rely on bottled water. The slimy green problem is back with a vengeance. Blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, that choke up huge portions of the lake have reemerged as an annual summertime scourge after nearly disappearing for more than a decade. And although the size of the blooms varies from year to year...
