Rand Paul Is No Moderate on Global Warming
2015-04-07 17:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: Journalists love a counterintuitive story, like when a Democrat criticizes unions or a Republican endorses gay marriage. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), with his idiosyncratic libertarianism, provides them with a lot of good stories, like his opposition to mass incarceration. In that vein, a couple of recent media reports assert, on the thinnest reeds of evidence, that Paul has accepted climate science or endorsed regulating carbon pollution. He hasnt. Sorry, reporters: There is no counterintuitive story...

Warming: Canada glaciers to shrink by 70pc by 2100
2015-04-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: The glaciers of western Canada, one of the world's most picturesque mountain regions, are likely to largely melt away over just three generations, scientists said today. By 2100, the glaciers of Alberta and British Columbia are set to shrink by 75 per cent in area compared to 2005 levels, and by 70 per cent in volume, according to their predictions. But in two out of the three regions that were studied, the decline could be even more dramatic -- over 90 per cent. The loss will hit many sectors,...

Mashable: Residents of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Corvallis, Oregon, are far more likely to believe that global warming is happening than people in Casper, Wyoming, and Dothan, Alabama. These findings can be explored in a new study and interactive tool that, for the first time, allows users to drill down from national-level to congressional-district level survey results on global warming beliefs. The study estimates that a majority of adults in all states believe that global warming is happening, ranging...

New Ocean Energy Plan Could Worsen Global Warming
2015-04-05 17:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: One of renewable energys more outspoken enthusiasts has delivered bad news for the prospects of developing ocean thermal energy. His prediction is that although the technology could work for a while, after about 50 years it could actually exacerbate long-term global warning. Of all the renewable energy technologies, ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) sounded like the perfect choice. This is a plan to exploit the difference between the warm surface and the cold deeps of the seas, and turn...

Epic California drought preview future global warming mega-droughts
2015-04-03 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: Typically, the snowpack provides up to 30% of the state's annual freshwater resources and is at a seasonal peak depth in early April. But in the face of mild Pacific storms that brought rain instead of snow, as well as drier-than-average conditions and a record-warm winter, the snow cover stood at just 5% of average on April 1, by far the lowest level ever recorded. Conditions are so dire that California Governor Jerry Brown announced on Wednesday the first-ever statewide mandated water restrictions,...
