Researchers Discover Arctic Warmer Than Anytime Last 44,000 Years
2013-10-25 19:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Good news for Arctic mosses, if not for any other Arctic creatures: little tundra plants that have been buried under the Canadian ice can feel the sunlight for the first time in at least 44,000 years. The implication is that the Arctic is now, and has been for the last 100 years, warmer than at any time in the last 44,000 years and perhaps for the last 120,000 years. Researchers have found that the Arctic is warmer now than it was in the early Holocene--the end of the last Ice Age--when the...

Fire-spotting Satellite Needed, Researchers Argue
2013-10-23 17:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: With another record-setting wildfire season coming to a close in the United States, researchers from the University of California, Berkeley argue it's time to invest in a fire-spotting satellite. "If we had information on the location of fires when they were smaller, then we could take appropriate actions quicker and more easily, including preparing for evacuation," said fire expert Scott Stephens, a UC Berkeley associate professor of environmental science, policy and management. "Wildfires would...

Straw Should be Used as Alternative Energy Source, German Researchers Argue
2013-10-21 19:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Straw from agriculture could help address Germany's future energy needs, a new study published in the journal Applied Energy suggests. Led by researchers from the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research, Thueringian Regional Institute for Agriculture (TLL) and German Biomass Research Center, the report found that of the 30 million tons of cereal straw produced nationally every year, between 8-13 million could be used sustainably for energy or fuel production. This could in turn provide between...
