We Could Stop Global Warming This Fix But Probably Terrible Idea

Climate Desk: Back in the late 1990s, Ken Caldeira set out to disprove the "ludicrous" idea that we could reverse global warming by filling the sky with chemicals that would partially block the sun. A few years earlier, Mount Pinatubo had erupted in the Philippines, sending tiny sulfate particles--known as aerosols--into the stratosphere, where they reflected sunlight back into space and temporarily cooled the planet. Some scientists believed that an artificial version of this process could be used to cancel out...
Lights are going out for coal - humans starting fight back against global warming

Telegraph: Perhaps I should cross my fingers before writing this, but it just may be that we have slipped, virtually without noticing, past a landmark in environmental and industrial history. Preliminary figures suggest that last year, for the first time, global emissions of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels failed to rise despite economic growth. Even more surprisingly, emissions seem to have fallen in China. If confirmed, these developments only recently thought beyond the bounds of practical...

Watch climate scientists give global warming elevator pitches

Mashable: For years now, climate science has suffered from a monumental public relations problem. The issue of manmade climate change has become so politicized that it's easy to forget that those who are conducting research into Earth's past, present and future climate are ordinary people -- not some elite cabal of brainiacs walled off in a lab somewhere. Climate activists have often lamented the ease with which climate change contrarians have painted global warming researchers as being part of some sort...

India: Your high-rise is warming the globe

Telegraph: High-rise and glass-facade buildings, poor garbage management and inefficient heating practices have turned urban households into major collective sources of greenhouse gases (GHG), scientists have said after the first assessment of GHG footprints of India's mega-cities. The researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, have found that urban households account for unexpectedly high proportions of the GHG emissions of cities, with Calcutta's domestic sector at the top, contributing...

Warming West Coast Waters Are Losing Productivity, Says NOAA

Nature World News: It's no secret that climate change has been affecting our oceans, with things like warming surface temperatures and rising acidity affecting various species across the world. Now a new report has revealed that the West Coast of North America may be feeling changes so intense that it is altering the overall productivity of local waters, leading to a reduction in marine species spanning from seabirds to salmon. "We are seeing unprecedented changes in the environment," Toby Garfield, Director of...
