Cranking Up the Carbon: Researchers Expose a Forest to Our Future's Conditions
2014-07-29 00:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A new facility is launching that will expose natural woodland to raised carbon dioxide levels, simulating conditions expected in the near future. This research is expected to give conversationalists and policy makers a look at future troubles the world's forest will face. The University of Birmingham has reportedly secured initial funding to support ten years of a free-air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) experiment at its brand new Birmingham Institute of Forest Research (BIFoR). According to...

Business Times: Climate change could pose an even greater threat to global food production than previously thought, according to new research. Rising temperatures will not only damage heat-sensitive crops theyll also increase toxic air pollution, which will harm crops even further. The study, out this week in the journal Nature Climate Change, is the first to explore how this interaction between warming temperatures and air pollution affects staple crops. Scientists have long known that the two can independently...
Researchers identify possible glitch in Antarctic ice measurements

Ars Technica: With all the attention given to every nuance of climate data, areas of research that would have never attracted much public interest sometimes find themselves in the spotlight. So it is with the process of measuring sea ice cover. People pay careful attention because it appears to be a leading indicator of climate change. In the Arctic, where the warming has been most intense, sea ice is retreating rapidly, with record lows having been set every few years over the past decades. But at the other...
