BBC: Scientists say tiny ocean plants could play a significant role in the formation of ice in clouds. An international team has shown that the top few millimetres of the sea is rich in secretions from phytoplankton. The group's tests demonstrate that this microscopic material can nucleate ice crystals if lifted into the atmosphere by crashing waves and sea spray. If this is a very prevalent process, it likely alters cloud properties, the researchers tell the journal Nature. A greater or lesser...

Hawaii Flips Switch on Worlds Largest Ocean Harvesting Clean Energy Plant
2015-08-26 15:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Hawaii is definitely ahead of the curve when it comes to renewable energy. In June, the Aloha state became the first state to mandate that all of its electricity come from renewable sources no later than 2045. Along with other islands, its charging ahead with wind, solar and smart grid systems. But now, the state is home to the first fully closed-cycle Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) plant in the U.S. OTEC is "a process that can produce electricity by using the temperature difference between...
