Japan Looks to Ocean for Renewable Energy
2015-02-19 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Wall Street Journal: As an island nation, Japan controls large swaths of ocean territory, about the sixth-greatest expanse of any country in the world, according to government data. That is stark contrast to its relatively meagre land area, which ranks near the middle of list, in 60th place. So it makes sense for Japan to look to the seas for renewable energy - something it hasn`t done so far. That is about to change, as the government is teaming up with two major industrial conglomerates, IHI Corp. and Toshiba Corp.,...

New maps reveal global ocean acidity
2015-02-17 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: A global look at ocean pH reveals that the water is more alkaline (basic) in the open ocean than in many coastal regions. The more alkaline the water is, the better poised it is to resist ocean acidification. Ocean acidification can now be seen from space, highlighting an ongoing danger of climate change and revealing the regions most at risk. Seawater absorbs about a quarter of the carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, that humans release into the atmosphere each year, mostly from the burning...
